Japaz Contemporary Tapas Restaurant, Neutral Bay - Sydney

Unique Fusion of Spanish Tapas Dishes and Japanese Ingredients

After a 6 year stint at Tetsuya's, Hiro Takagi has opened JAPAZ, a Japanese/Spanish tapas restaurant in Neutral Bay.

Innovative Tapas dishes combining Spanish & Japanese ingredients.

Tapas are essentially small snacks or appetisers that are often combined to make a full meal. Tapeo (the art of eating tapas) has always been a way of life in Spain, but has recently taken the rest of the world by storm. Now Tapas dining comes to Neutral Bay, Sydney, albeit with a unique twist. Spanish style dishes incorporating Japanese ingredients and seasonal local ingredients.

Innovative Seasonal Tapas Dishes

Expect to find a range of innovative seasonal Tapas dishes featuring fresh local ingredients such as Wagyu cheek as well as Spanish staples such as chorizo and anchovies. Be surprised at how well Japanese ingredients can be used to add an additional flavour dimension to the Tapas experience.

Desert of ice cream served on Manchego cheese with praline crumbs may sound a little odd, but this flavour sensation is well worth a try!

Spain meets Japan with Izakaya Dining

In Japan, "Izakaya" is a style of popular after-work pubs that serve small dishes of food to accompany drinks. The atmosphere of an Izakaya is all about friendship and relaxing, with food is to be shared between friends.

JAPAZ is a restaurant that combines these traditions. Open for lunch and dinner, JAPAZ is just as suitable for groups to socialise whilst sharing a meal or for single diners. JAPAZ is also an ideal venue for after-work drinks accompanied with Tapas snacks or for pre or post theatre dining.

As you would expect from a Tapas style restaurant, the atmosphere is casual and vibrant, with a bit of extra buzz generated by the open kitchen. Service is friendly and knowledgeable and the winelist thoughtful, with a number of quality wines available by the glass.

JAPAZ OPEN:

Dinner - Monday to Saturday

BYO available Monday to Thursday evenings (wine only), fully licensed Friday & Saturday evenings.
