We offers a unique experience that blends authenticity with the vibrant elements of Japanese subculture. Aiming to appeal to a diverse audience that seeks both quality and cultural richness.
Tamura Sho-Ten presents two distinct venues that capture the essence of Japanese culture while catering to various dining experiences.
Located on Gertrude Street, our sake bar offers an intimate setting ideal for solo visitors or couples looking to enjoy a refined drinking and dining experience. The atmosphere is designed to enhance the enjoyment of our meticulously curated sake selection, complemented by thoughtfully prepared small plates that reflect the authenticity of Japanese flavours.
In contrast, our izakaya on Smith Street embodies a vibrant and casual dining atmosphere perfect for larger groups and families. This venue features a diverse menu that showcases an array of traditional dishes, making it an excellent choice for shared meals or functions. With daily specials that invite exploration and excitement, the izakaya creates a welcoming space for everyone to gather and indulge in a variety of culinary delights.
Both venues represent our commitment to quality and experience, yet they provide unique environments tailored to different occasions. Whether you're seeking a serene evening at the sake bar or a lively gathering at the izakaya, Tamura Sho-Ten ensures that each visit is memorable and authentic.

"Margie Lou and her band, steeped in gut-bucket jazz and blues, draw fresh water from an old well. Her piano playing is raw, fiery, mournful, joyous. Ragged and right. I could listen to her dancing left hand all day and night. When she sings, pain turns to jubilation" - Paul Kelly
