The name “Ichoume” comes from the address of this street. Ichoume is located on ‘1’ Harbour Street, Darling Quarter. That’s why we named the restaurant “Ichoume” (Choume is used for addresses in Japan. It's a way of breaking a municipality into districts. 丁目(Choume) is ‘city district’, so ‘1 choume’(Ichoume) is ‘1st [city] district’).The design concept of the restaurant is a hangout for adults.The menu is supervised by AKIKO ISHIKAWA, who has accumulated her career in many restaurants. The head chef is TOMOHIKO KIMURA . He specialises in Japanese - based cuisine with French techniques and flavours. SHINSUKE TODA is recognised among the best sushi chefs now working and is credited with techniques utilised in contemporary sushi and sashimi preparation.Hope you enjoy what we’ve made for you.Owner ARI K. & YUKI ISHIKAWA

    The service and food at MuMian was excellent. The location is a small 100m walk to the ICC. We dined there twice before shows that were on at the ICC. They food came quickly and was so good. Highly recommend MuMian, we will dine there again. PS they had great cocktails too!!!

    A totally authentic experience. I believe we were the only North American Caucasian people in the restaurant, but we were made to feel very welcome and at home. The hostess and all of the servers were outgoing and attentive. We shared a larger table with several young and attractive Asian women who were having a girls night out. Given that my partner and I were both exhausted from jet lag, it helped us to stay awake and enjoy our wonderful dinner. We had their special Wagyu combination dinner. Every single bite of delicious meat was a joy, consisting of different cuts of this beautiful beef. My partner isn’t the sort of person who likes to cook his own dinner at the table, but even he enjoyed the experience. Excellent food, friendly and attentive service delicious cocktails. Highly recommended.
