Embracing the Japanese izakaya style of wining and dining, head to Yama Zaru Izakaya on Sheridan Street in Cairns for a dining experience to remember. Showcasing tapas dishes and the best range of sake in the city, you can’t miss this restaurant with its colourful façade of Japanese images, while indoors is moody with glowing lanterns, booth and table settings and wooden beams. Jump right in with tapas plates of octopus and wakame salad or spring rolls and dipping sauce; before steaming bowls of ramen with cha siu pork, rich pork broth and a boiled egg, or grilled eel and special sauce on a bed of rice. Perhaps teriyaki chicken tempts, with dressed cabbage and a side of steamed rice, best enjoyed with a glass of sake or shochu Japanese vodka.
