Ayame Japanese Restaurant - Glen Eira

Great little Japanese restaurant that was really popular even on a Sunday evening. We ordered a variety of foods which were all fantastic. The staff were also friendly, professional and prompt with their services. Highly recommended!

The seafood used in each sushi was exceptionally 'melt in your mouth ' fresh, although not very strongly flavoured. I enjoyed using the wasabi and soy sauce to enhance the flavour. The scallops was also very tender and easy to chew with a mild flavour of the sea. . SALMON CARPACCIO. The generous drizzling of sauce gave a new flavour sensation to the salmon, tuna and kingfish.

Ayame offers a quality Japanese dining experience that holds true to its heritage. From the fresh, expertly prepared produce, to the careful execution, Ayame is an authentic and upscale Japanese eatery that’s bound to impress.

This has been one of my favourite discoveries in recent months. Ayame is sophisticated, bringing a refined Japanese menu to the leafy suburb of Malvern. We had been discussing the merits of Malvern versus Brighton, and Ayame is certainly weighing the debate in one very clear direction. We began the evening with a very very large Ayame special sushi sashimi platter accompanied by a paddle of six different varieties of plum wine in shot glasses. Both were execute perfectly the plum wine was chilled, and the fish was fresh.

Long-standing Ayame has been providing this Glenferrie Road strip with modern Japanese food since 2008. Sushi and sashimi makes up a large portion of Ayame’s menu, and the Ayame Special Platter features a selection of items to simplify the choices for you. Tuna, salmon and scallop sashimi, nigiri, a mini special roll and miso prawn are on the platter tonight. The seafood is fresh, and the sushi possesses a good balance of protein and rice.
