TORA is an intimate 10-seat omakase restaurant in Leederville, offering a refined Japanese dining experience led by Chef Tetsu, who brings over 30 years of culinary expertise. Each evening features a seasonal, multi-course menu crafted with precision and elegance.
The name "omakase" — meaning "I leave it up to you" — reflects the trust placed in the chef to craft and present a sequence of dishes that showcase the best ingredients of the day. Each evening, guests are welcomed to the counter for a multi-course tasting menu that evolves with the market’s freshest selections. From delicately prepared sashimi and hand-formed sushi to slow-cooked broths and perfectly seared wagyu, every element is thoughtfully considered and expertly executed. No two nights are the same — each menu is a reflection of nature, timing, and the chef’s intuition. With only 10 seats available per night, TORA offers an atmosphere that is calm, focused, and deeply personal. Guests are invited to slow down and engage with the craft, the ingredients, and the story behind each course. It's more than a meal — it's a curated culinary journey that connects tradition with contemporary expression. Perfect for special occasions or those seeking an authentic Japanese experience, TORA delivers an elevated dining moment that lingers long after the final course.
TORA has multiple entry points. Entry via Electric Laneway is wheelchair accessible and 160cm wide.
