3 months ago Our favorite Japanese Resto! The food authenticity takes us back to Japan everytime. The ramen is perfect, paired with chashu (extra)! Our other favorites: Tiger-cheese rolls, takoyaki, okonomiyaki & chicken karage! The bento has huge serving with many side dishes. The place inside is small so its recommended to book ahead. Staffs are very friendly. We cant find authentic Japanese food around Newcastle so its really worth for the 35mins drive from Chisholm. Can’t get enough of Mizumo.
