Izakaya Mitto

Izakaya Mitto is a contemporary Japanese restaurant in The Rocks, blending traditional craftsmanship with the vibrant flavours of premium Australian produce. Set within a restored 1890s heritage building, Mitto offers a refined dining experience where Japanese minimalism, local ingredients, and the spirit of togetherness come together in perfect harmony.

Izakaya Mitto takes its name from the word “Meet,” reimagined through a refined Japanese sensibility—a tribute to cultural connection and the art of gathering. Inspired by Japan’s deep-rooted tradition of hospitality, Mitto brings this spirit to contemporary Australian dining. Every dish becomes a meeting point where Japanese craftsmanship embraces the vibrant freshness of premium Australian produce. From delicate, minimalist bites to bold flavours designed to spark conversation, Mitto celebrates the harmony between two cultures. More than a restaurant, Mitto is a place to connect—where togetherness is savoured in every sip, every plate, and every shared moment.

A Japanese Dining Experience in the Heart of The Rocks
Set within the historic walls of an 1890s police station in The Rocks, Mitto’s design is a symphony of light, heritage, and restraint. The serenity of Japanese minimalism intertwines with the enduring strength of Australian stone, creating a dining space that feels both grounded and ethereal. A gentle Hikari no Michi (光の道) — Path of Light — guides guests through the restaurant, illuminating textures that tell a story of contrast, connection, and cultural evolution. Every corner invites guests to walk through a living narrative where history and modernity meet.

A Menu That Blends Japanese Tradition with Australian Produce
Mitto’s culinary philosophy is simple: honour authentic Japanese techniques while celebrating the best ingredients Australia has to offer. The menu showcases premium Australian wagyu, Sydney’s freshest seafood, and seasonal produce elevated through meticulous Japanese preparation. Each dish is crafted to be both refined and expressive, offering a dining experience that is intimate, contemporary, and unmistakably Mitto.

Izakaya Mitto is a destination for gathering and storytelling. Where Japanese spirit and Australian warmth come together as one.
