Japanese$

From the team behind Richmond’s Future Future, Suupaa brings a taste of Japan’s konbini (convenience store) culture to Melbourne. The result? Deliciously thrilling. Go handheld with an egg sando all about floofy crumbed omelette and curry ketchup, or go big with tonkatsu, accompanied by a Vegemite and red miso sauce that might ruin the regular stuff for you.

Good to know: Takeaway options are abundant, from onigiri to self-serve banana cold brew.
