Meiji Japanese Cafe!

By the strong recommendation of his working restaurant from our interviewee, Tony Wei, I did a research on this Meiji Japanese Cafe.

From others’ reviews, I found that Meiji Japanese Café is a lovely little Japanese Restaurant with delicious food and entertaining environment. There, you can experience the authentic Japanese culture and will be enchanted and delighted at the miso, wasabi peas and colourful tsukemono. As Tony mentioned in the interview, their “Kamameshi” is indeed the most popular and highly recommended. It is a traditional Japanese dish where rice is placed in an iron pot, covered with various meats and vegetables, and then steamed in a soup stock. Tony said their meats and vegetables are made in a special machine with secret recipe. While they also have more standard Japanese fare (bento, sushi, sashimi etc) you'd be crazy to walk out of this shop without trying the kamameshi. Quoting from others, “Meiji is a fantastic little Japanese shop, small and with an emphasis on traditional décor but light and airy. Friendly atmosphere, with service fast, courteous and efficient, and as with many of Melbourne's Japanese restaurants, the staff have a mysterious habit of speaking to each other in Cantonese.” Omg, I just can’t wait to visit Meiji Japanese Café!!!!!!
