Cammeray NSW 2062 Japanese - A confession from a restaurant critic: "From the street, Toriciya looks like every Japanese neighbourhood izakaya bar in every Japanese neighbourhood – the wall of sake bottles, the modest entrance, the little covered courtyard. There is nothing flash about it at all. You would be forgiven for not knowing it even existed – unless you were a restaurant critic, whose job it is to know these things. Oh, the shame, the guilt. And it's not as if it has just opened. Toriciya has been here for 24 years. So, a big thanks to two food obsessives, Kim Terakes and Andrew Hardjasudarma, who independently told me to get myself here. It can't have been easy for them. Once you have been to Toriciya, you want to keep it to yourself. The problem is that it's both tiny and popular, with as much space devoted to dining as to cooking. It's also immediately captivating, a warm glow of a tiny, narrow dining room with dark wooden beams, wooden counters and simple wooden tables and chairs. Here, a collection of sake cups; there, a Sapporo beer dispenser and plumbed-in gas bottle; equal parts charm and pragmatism. " - Terry Durack
