24.01.2022 Kushiyaki [Grilled Skewers] by Minamishima x Yu-u A fun summer collaboration with Chef Yoshiki of Minamishima, who used to run Yu-u. One of Yoshiki san’s signature dishes was kushiyaki, and he’s put together 16 skewers with condiments to have shio [salt] or tare [sauce] style - the way you’d have it at a kushiyaki-ya. There’s chicken, Australian and Japanese wagyu, gyutan and also hatsu [chicken hearts]. You can purchase the bamboo grill too!... Order via link in bio - minamishima x chotto x yu-u *We really wanted to shoot this outdoors with the grill going and the chefs gathering around cooking kushiyaki, but social distancing measures didn’t allow. We hope you have that type of kushiyaki experience however! #minamishimaxchotto #chottomelb

20.01.2022 For me, what makes Japanese cuisine so pleasurable is the subtle touches - never contrived, but rather, about the connection to the seasons and nature. This dish is called sugiitaiyaki - black cod marinated then grilled on paper-thin sugi [Japanese cedar] sheets which impart a lovely woody, fragrant aroma. We recommend taking a breath of the sugi before having the dish, as you would when testing a fragrance on a slip of paper. ... Order via link in bio - minamishima x chotto at home - spring menu

19.01.2022 A double post, but on a day like this, we recommend Yoshiki san’s hitsumabushi, which is designed to be had both as an unagi don and as a dashichazuke with genmaicha broth. P.S. This is also a last chance dish!

13.01.2022 Quite possibly one of the favourite Minamishima sushi of the season: prawn, grilled eggplant and foie gras pressed sushi with dashi jelly. Light, flavourful and refreshing. Order via link in bio... - minamishima x chotto at home - spring menu #minamishimaxchotto #chottomelb

13.01.2022 Hopefully this won’t be the closest thing we’ll get to hanami - that time in Japan when the cherry blossoms flourish and picnic mats are spread out beneath the cloud of pink petals. Nevertheless, spring is here, the air is warm, the gardens lush, and the flowers in full bloom. We’ve created this Irodori Chirashi [many colours chirashi] for this reason - to enjoy hanami style with your friends, with miso soup, sakura purin, and perhaps some sake too! This chirashi is currently... available for lunch with pick-up from Minamishima only. [We understand this is hard for those outside our 5km radius, but if we can - it’s a very small team - we hope to be able to deliver lunch soon!] Pick-up: Tuesday to Thursday, 12pm to 2pm Pre-orders essential with 24 hours notice To order, please visit our link in bio and select ‘lunch’. - minamishima x chotto at home spring menu

03.01.2022 All good things must come to an end, and with Minamishima opening in a week and a bit, the time has come for us to bid farewell to our collaboration. We’d like to thank Koichi san, Yoshiki san and the Minamishima team for a fun few months, where we were given free rein to bring back a few of chotto’s dishes and create some new ones for the ‘minamishima x chotto at home’ menus. The collaboration will end in a week, and with it, this gallery of chotto creations. Minamishima wi...ll continue to have a small, sushi-focused at home menu, but really, make a reservation for the sushi bar! Chef has been at Minamishima since chotto closed, so he’ll still be there to say hello. To all our chotto customers, thank you so so much. We’ve had the pleasure of seeing some of you again, and it has been so, so wonderful. We hope you stay well and look forward to our next encounter. Thank you so much for your friendship and support ! *This photo was taken at the start of the year, pre-existing measures! - minamishima x chotto at home menu.
