DISUKO, cued from Tokyo 1980, split into elements that define the time. Open-air dining, shared izakaya, omakase for occasion, music always.Refound on Melbourne’s city skyline, DISUKO brings those moments forward in a lively and layered setting. Our nomikai, the Terracotta Roof, offers after-hours respite and weekend ease, the izakaya lounge gathers friends over plates made to share, and omakase offers pause for a theatrical food occasion. Each element tied by vinyl selectors, we honour Tokyo’s DISUKO era. A place to reminisce or experience something new in what was Japan's decade of excellent excess — the sake, the ease, the rhythm.

Japanese Ramen and Sake Bar. Miso is a paste made from fermented soy beans and barley or rice malt. It is traditional Japanese seasoning and used in a range of dishes from soups, to glazes, to dips and pickles. Miso is high in protein and contains a range of vitamins and minerals including B12, B3, E, K, iron and calcium. About miso ramen: In 1923, Chinese immigrant chef Mr Wang started work at the Takeya Café near Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan. He developed his own noodle and soup dishes that would appeal to the Japanese palette. His dishes were so successful that they were copied and in 1951 Ramen Alley in downtown Sapporo became nationally famous. Misoya Ramen: Misoya has developed its own miso ramen with a thick miso soup made from chicken and vegetable stock in consideration of Australian tastes and preferences. Egg noodles and fresh seasonal vegetables result in a ramen that is bound to please and will make you want to come back for more.

"Bringing Gluten-Free Soba to the People" The Japanese word “soba” refers both to the buckwheat plant as well as the noodles made from buckwheat flour. Soba is typically served in a hot aromatic broth topped with chicken, tempura prawns or a selection of vegetables or served cooled on an elegant bamboo tray with delicate dipping sauce.Soba is one of the world’s most nutritious food and an abundant source of protein. Containing a well-balanced combination of amino acids, it has the highest protein make-up than any of the grains and is also rich in vitamin. Additionally, soba is low in fat and high in dietary fibre.Soba’s long and slender shape has come to symbolise stability and longevity. It is traditional in Japan to eat soba (toshi-koshi soba) on New Year’s Eve to acknowledge the passing of the old year and to welcome in the new.

    This place is fantastic. The food is great, with such a variety that we had difficulty choosing. Although it probably didn't matter, as it was all great. The staff are friendly and efficient. Wish we lived closer. We also bought 2 take-home meals, which were also great.

    We have been to Disuko two times and both experiences have been filled with incredible food and outstanding service! The ambience of the venue really added to the whole dining experience and we truly enjoyed everything we tried. Some of our favourites included the wagyu tataki, hiramasa, and tori karaage. Special mention to the spicy edamame. We also tried a variety of cocktails and they were all so delicious but my favourite was the cherry blossom. Definitely would recommend this place as they are quite affordable for their offerings and provide such attentive and thoughtful service. 10/10!
