Discover what makes Yamagen Melbourne a local favourite, from the people behind the pass to the flavours that define its style.
Down a laneway, through a hint of robata smoke, Yamagen awaits. Inside, flavour turns fearless and flame-tipped – umami cut with citrus, miso tangled with caramel, restraint sharpened by invention.
