CREATING THE TASTE
OF JAPAN
Rice Workshop is creating the real taste of Japan in a bowl. Proving that fast, fresh and flavoursome food that is more than sushi and sashimi, Rice Workshop offers the flavours of Japan’s urban street culture on your own doorstep.
Rice Workshop is a concept developed by entrepreneur David Loh and chef, Tomohiro Suzuki. They both found that although Japanese food is available in Australia, there was no one offering edgy and exciting food that ncompassed the pop-tastic, young cultural landscape that Japan is known for.
Seeing this gap in the market they decided to act and opened the flagship Little Bourke Street store in Melbourne’s CBD in 2014. With the store’s instant success, more stores opened in Melbourne totaling to 11 now with 1 in Sydney Westfield CBD.
Rice Workshop is renowned for the crowd favourite - the Stewed Beef Rice Bowl. It is a bowl of thinly sliced beef cooked to perfection, simmered with onion and a secret recipe soya broth of herbs and spices served over rice and topped with a soft boiled egg. If beef isn’t your thing you can also choose from a range of other bowl toppings such as teriyaki chicken, tempura prawn udon noodles, salmon, or Katsu curry. If you are not a fan of rice don’t worry… all toppings can be served over a house-made salad, making a healthy choice delicious. You can also accessorise your bowl with extra toppings such as tempura vegetable pancakes or add a cup of miso soup amongst other things.
