Hot Spot: Wasshoi Beer Sake & Sumibi

The newest addition to Prahran Market is Wasshoi, a cosy little sumibi bar serving up charcoal grilled meats in pattie and skewer form (chicken, pork belly, beef), Kirin on tap and sake. The grill items come with sesame marinated veggies or kimchi salad, and are complemented by teriyaki sauce or spicy soy and fruit sauce.

The kitchen is headed by the friendly head chef Ikuei Arakane (Kin San), who has previously worked at Koko, Taxi, 100 Mile Cafe and The Glass House in Tasmania.

'Wasshoi' is a sound of encouragement that essentially means 'unifying together', which is quite fitting for this cheerful 29-seater.
