The duo behind Bartini on Club Street and new 80s-themed restaurant Retrospective on Keong Saik Road have opened their latest venture; Mariko's, a ramen bar and izakaya based on a fictional manga character by renowned Japanese illustrator Yoshihiro Tatsumi.
During the 1950s in Japan, the nation mired in the after-effects of World War II lived Mariko a prostitute who beds GIs in the slums of Osaka. The story ends with no despair but acceptance with the girl severing all ties to the honourable, family-centric culture she was raised up in.
The ramen corner is really a 30-seater space in a shophouse with a 15-stool contemporary bar counter. Standing out from a typical Japanese restaurant. DJs from DJ collective Off the Boat spin funk and soul tunes with a Japanese tinge on weekend nights.
Enjoy Japanese beers such as Asahi and Sapporo, along with Japanese sake and whiskey. Bartenders Barnaby Murdoch and Zac Mirza concoct mind-blowing Japanese-inspired cocktails.
You will definitely feel like you are walking down a back alley in Japan.
