The ramen cart has arrived.
Luminous is now in full swing at Prefecture 48.

Beneath glowing Ukiyo-e projections, discover a limited-time winter ramen experience in our courtyard. Inspired by Tokyo-style shio ramen, our chicken broth is simmered for over 10 hours to achieve remarkable clarity and depth, allowing the purity of each ingredient to take centre stage.

Take a break from the winter chill with a steaming bowl of ramen and a complimentary Toki Highball. Happy Hour has also been extended until close daily throughout the activation.

For something a little brighter, Whisky Thief's limited-edition Luminous Highball is also available throughout the event.

Available 4–17 June. The ramen cart is serving nightly from 5pm–10pm.

Lighten up your winter at P48.

In celebration of Vivid Sydney, we’re bringing a new spark to your evening.

After exploring the city’s glowing streets, step into our courtyard and be captivated by a beautiful Ukiyo-e projection. Meaning “pictures of the floating world,” Ukiyo-e is a celebrated Japanese art form that captures fleeting moments of beauty, culture, and everyday life.

As light, art, and atmosphere come together beneath the night sky, discover a new way to experience Every Japan at Prefecture 48.

A new courtyard experience is arriving at the precinct soon. Stay tuned.

520 at Prefecture 48

Not every gesture needs grand words.

From 16–23 May, we’re continuing the season of romance through a quieter kind of connection through shared plates, lingering cocktails, late conversations, and the moments that stay with you long after the night ends.

Across the precinct, guests can enjoy hand-drawn portraits in the courtyard and our limited-time ‘Rose After Dark’ cocktail, slowly blooming as it melts.

A week for good company, and more reasons for nights worth remembering.

Behind every dish in our 13–14 May collaboration is a conversation between techniques. Whether it's the precise discipline of the Japanese Robata or the bold, soulful heat of Nikkei flavors, the craftsmanship remains the same.

Two chefs, one grill, and a room built for the kind of night people talk about for weeks. Watch Chef and Chef@chefalejandrosaravia , cooking side by side.

Halfway through autumn, the Hassun at Garaku has settled into its rhythm. It begins gently with a steamed zucchini flower and ebi shinjo under Kristal caviar, followed by a bright reworking of sushi using cuttlefish and grilled okra. The depth of the tray lies in the skewer, a three layered composition of abalone, wagyu tongue and pickled shiitake with rich liver, before finishing with a clean, torched aburi scampi. Four expressions of the season as it stands now

Robata meets Nikkei.

For two nights, .sydney and .sydney come together over charcoal.

Chef Chris and Chef bring two distinct approaches to fire: one grounded in Japanese robata, the other shaped by Nikkei and Latin American flavours. The result is a shared menu built around smoke, heat, and balance.

A 7-course set menu designed to move between both kitchens, with each dish shaped by technique rather than tradition alone.

Introducing Florence: The defining signature of
Dear Florence.

Built on a foundation of soft chocolate sponge, Florence is a harmonious blend of white miso ganache and hazelnut mousse. Valrhona 70% chocolate mousse brings depth and clarity, finished with a smooth glaze that seals each layer in decadence.

Perfectly balanced and made for sharing (serves 6-8).

In Japan, White Day is celebrated one month after Valentine’s Day, it is a day for returning love through thoughtful gestures. From 10–14 March, we invite you to experience this special tradition across the precinct and the spirit of Okaeshi - the art of giving back. Step into the courtyard where shimmering koi illuminate the garden walls in a special evening display, and receive a thoughtful gift when you dine with us. From 10 March, guests will also be among the first to discover our new Autumn menus across the precinct.

Inside Whisky Thief, even the walls tell stories.

Sabu Karu by Chris Horigo () anchors the room, a layered glimpse into Japan’s after-dark world, where rebellion, romance, and ritual unfold beneath neon skies.

Framing the work, custom Roe pendants and table lights by and glow in a warm whisky-tinted glass, casting just enough light to let the story linger.

Art, atmosphere, and a little mystery, poured quietly, as it should be.
