History

Established in 2011.

Ajitoya Japan’s Kitchen started in late 2011 and opened with only 3 dishes on the menu and 3 bar tables. The aim was to setup the first Japanese one stop shop in Melbourne’s West for sushi, groceries, meals and Japanese beer –specialising in Japanese craft beer.

The space has grown to include curb side seating, courtyard and an upstairs to be completed soon.

The growth is thanks to the support of the local community to which ajitoya has become a destination for locals for lunch or dinner.
