Albion

Updated: Jun 05, 2026

Kizuna Izakaya & Sake Bar in Albion is your new favourite dining spot - a contemporary Izakaya celebrating seasonally inspired cuisines, meticulously curated sake and cocktails.

"Kizuna" is a Japanese concept representing the enduring bonds and connections formed through shared experiences between people. Here at Kizuna they are dedicated to bringing people together, sharing the artistry of their craftsmanship from food to beverage, as well as telling the stories behind each bottle of Sake.

Interior of Kizuna

The black dim-lit décor and gorgeous warm lighting create a cosy atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The concise menu offers starters such as house pickle or Cucumber Surimi Sald, followed by dishes from the Raw Selection, Binchotan Grill, Tempura, Karaage and Signature Dishes such as Miso Grilled Salmon and Teriyaki Chicken. 

Kingfish

Menu standouts include the truffle kingfish, wagyu beef tataki, and fresh octopus with a wasabi marinade, each dish beautifully presented and full of flavour. From the Binchotan Grill, wagyu mince skewers are an absolute highlight - their melt-in-the-mouth texture is unbeatable. 

Beef tataki

The team at Kizuna Izakaya & Sake Bar are friendly and attentive, adding to the relaxed charm of the space. Their impressive range of sake and unique tea-infused cocktails perfectly complement the refined dining experience.

Kizuna will be your new go-to for date nights and anytime when you need a flavour packed, sophisticated meal.

Good to know - In the near future, the team will be hosting a variety of events such as Omakase, Sake & Wine Tasting Events, Cocktail Masterclass
