Tucked into a Leeming strip, Ichirin serves Perth’s most exacting, Tokyo-level Japanese fare from a tiny counter. Snag a seat along the open kitchen—you get a ringside view of the knife work, crisp tempura frying, and glistening plates of sashimi coming together. Midday regulars lean into weekly rotating bento boxes and tender beef tataki, while nightfall turns the intimate dining room toward a multi-course omakase. The kitchen caps the meal with unexpected house ice creams like black sesame and matcha.

Why Choose Ichirin Japanese Food
Why Perth diners reserve weeks ahead for chef-driven omakase, rotating bentos, and intimate counter seating in Leeming.
Chef-Curated Multi-Course Omakase
Chef Shiro curates accessible multi-course omakase menus and seasonal degustations that showcase meticulous culinary technique.
My family is a huge fan of the Omakase- dishes are unique and interesting where the chef clearly put in time and effort to curate the menu and the dishes have never disappointed.
Megan Mak Artful Bentos and Rotating Specials
Diners can enjoy thoughtfully composed bento sets featuring delicate tempura, pristine sashimi, and rotating weekly special selections.
The bento box was a highlight of my meal, offering a perfect variety of flavors. I really enjoyed the delicate texture of the tempura and the subtle garnish of shredded radish on the side.

An open-kitchen counter allows guests seated at the bar to watch the kitchen team prepare and plate each dish in real time.
Staff are very friendly and accommodating, and there's an open kitchen so you can watch them if you're at the bar.
