Japanese teppan grill and tapas-style plates in central Queenstown, from salmon sashimi to karaage chicken, with a sake and whisky list.
Tanoshi does tapas-style Japanese on Cow Lane — teppan grill plates, sashimi, karaage and donburi, ordered a few dishes at a time and shared across the table.
The room is small and dark in the right way: booths down one side, seats at the bar if you would rather watch the grill. It works as a late bite after a day out, and equally as the start of a longer night.
The drinks list is the other reason to come. There is a serious sake selection, a Japanese whisky list, and lagers on tap.
Open daily from midday. There is a second Tanoshi at Five Mile in Frankton if town is full.
