Satsuki, Subiaco
I love Satsuki, it is always consistently good. The menu is designed for sharing – tapas style, high quality, and not the standard Japanese fare. To have a reasonable sized dinner, I would recommend 6 dishes between two people. I would say that Satsuki’s signature dish is the spicy tuna tataki, which is always delicious. The menu has had a makeover in recent years, and we return again and again.
Here are some of our favourite dishes:
Tuna Tataki:
Yuzu Chuhai (a wonderful drink made with Japanese shochu and yuzu):
Miso Soup:
Sea pollock with some tempura beans and an agedashi broth – lovely rich agedashi and fresh fish:
Beautifully prepared duck with fried leek and salted onion, and very helpfully divided into two portions with a nitsume sauce reduction (eel broth, mirin, soy, and sugar):
Scallop Nanban (this dish is amazing):
Eggplant Dengaku:
Chicken breast wrapped in nori (seaweed) and tempura batter, served with ume plum sauce and a ponzu dip:
