Barbera is Italy's everyday red, the grape that sits on the table through long dinners in Piedmont, high in acid, low on tannin, built to match whatever comes out of the kitchen.

Vinea Marson brings it to Heathcote's Cambrian soils, where Mario Marson has spent years making the case for Italian varietals in central Victoria.

The 2024 is a picture-perfect vintage: carbonic maceration lifts wild raspberry and brambly fruit on the nose, while the palate runs bright and generous through to the finish. It's on the pour at Kuzu now. Barbera's natural acidity and a Japanese menu were always going to get along.

Reservations welcome via our website.

Abby applying the final colourful flourishes, you almost wouldn’t dare to poke a pair of chopsticks into the dish to admire her fine work.

Alas, you can’t hold off a table of hungry punters for long!

A friendly reminder that Friday lunch at Kuzu is no longer a well-kept secret. Tables are going fast, and we'd hate for you to miss out on a table of Izakaya share plates and a very good Friday afternoon. Book ahead — 12pm – 2pm every Friday, reservations through the website.

Tempura unagi sushi, new on the menu. The whole roll goes through the fryer in tempura batter: eel, cucumber and tobiko inside, finished with spring onion, red pickled ginger, teriyaki sauce, mayo and sansho pepper. Crispy outside, tender eel within, and a tingle of sansho at the end.

The menu at ZENZEN Gisborne leans street food, but the w**e list is as much a celebration of Macedon Ranges vineyards as anywhere in the region. Grab a seat in the colourful dining room, order a spread and pair it with one of our cool-climate classics.

Bookings via the ZENZEN website.

Querciabella has been farming organically and biodynamically in Chianti for decades. The 2022 Chianti Classico is the result: Sangiovese done precisely, with cherry, dried herb and a firm acidity that sits well alongside Japanese food.

On the Kuzu w**e list by the bottle.

If you'd rather let the kitchen do the thinking, we have three set menus: Umeko ($90), Takeko ($120) and Matsuko ($145), priced per person for a minimum of two.

Give us a guide to how hungry the table is and we’ll be more than happy to recommend an appropriate level of gluttony 😈
