OUR STORY

Tomo's unique space has been influenced by close friends and supporters, from the artwork on the walls to the bottles of Fernet Hunter behind the bar.

THE CONCEPT

If you have ever visited a Japanese Izakaya, you will understand that a big part of the experience centres on sharing a steady stream of diverse food and drink with loved ones. The Japanese kanji for Tomo, 共, means together and so our menu has been designed to be shared.
