Restaurant Toshiya is situated in Cremorne Junction, which was established by owner-chef Toshiya Kai in July 2010. We provide a relaxed environment for our guests to enjoy their meal whilst enjoying conversations with friends and family.

Chef Toshiya: 25 years ago, way back in 2000, I moved here to work. I’ve been cooking for about 22-23 years now. I decided in my third year of elementary school that I wanted to be a chef, and ever since then, all of my interests have revolved around food. Wanting to know things, being more aware of what I was eating and how it was all made… it all started at a very young age. How to cook things, who it was being cooked for, I just kept thinking thoughts like this. I started training as a chef in Tokyo, starting by learning kaisekiryouri, which is the kind of meals you eat before a tea ceremony. It’s very traditional. I devoted myself to it. All of that training created my originality. At Toshiya, I want my customers to relish in this new kind of fusion. All the flavours I learned from various countries, methods of cooking, I want my food to appeal to the senses. Food is something that’s constantly evolving; it needs to change in accordance with the needs of each customer. I cook sushi, deep-fried foods, and grilled foods. There’s not really any soy sauce, so I think this results in a kind of fusion food. I’d really like it if you would come to my restaurant so I can give you food that will definitely show you some new senses!
