From the Archives: A Look Back on the Opening of Izakaya

 
 
 

The Sunday Business Times featured the opening of the Yamamori Izakaya in 2011, located on South George’s Street, across from the previously established Yamamori Noodles (South City) location.

Owner Derek Ryan described the beginning of what we know now as Yamamori Izakaya Sake Bar and the late-night Izakaya Basement: “Upstairs will be a tea house of sorts, with really good desserts and a full range of teas and coffees. It will have that old traditional feel,” he said. “Downstairs will be an Asian cafe bar, where we will serve starters and side orders [AKA ‘Japas’], along with Asian beers, wine and sake. There’ll be a DJ box there too…” Today, Izakaya Basement is a well-known late-night dance/music venue, the food in both spaces well-loved, and the Sake Bar featuring some of the best sake in the world.

A good idea with passionate individuals behind it is what gets me going!

With training and work experience in Marketing, Event Management and Architecture along with being an International Sailing Coach for the past ten years I have been afforded the opportunity to work alongside many inspiring individuals and groups.

With this experience I came to realise my passion and strengths are within creating and building relationships as well as realizing an idea or team's potential and helping them present that potential to prospective clients both visually and verbally.

I am always looking for a challenge and for the opportunity to help an individual or team bring an idea/dream to fruition! 

Feel free to reach out for a chat.
