They‘re calling hojicha the tea of 2026
We built a whole winter menu on it.

Ten cocktails, five teas — hojicha, sencha, genmaicha, oolong, jasmine — each one shaping a different mood.

Savoury and deep (yes, there’s tomato and parmesan in here). Smoky, floral, bright. Not your usual Sydney drinks list.

Silky kingfish sashimi, lifted with ponzu and yuzu oil, then rounded out by a rich macadamia & bunya nut miso

The citrus keeps it sharp, the miso brings savory depth, and the nuts add an earthy Australian accent that makes the whole dish feel a little more unexpected

Light on the palate, but full of flavor
Subtle, elegant, and seriously moreish

This boutique fusion Japanese bar and restaurant offers a timeless Japanese menu that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more.

One of the standout features of Moku Sydney is their Sponmoni cocktail.
