Everything started when I went to eat Japanese food at the restaurant Bounty of the Sun this year. To begin with, the hidden place turning right from the Main Street of Balaclava takes a bit of work to find. Therefore, If you are not expecting to come here, you probably will not know this Japanese restaurant exists. In other words, it is sad because Bounty of the Sun is the best Izakaya restaurant in Melbourne.

Moreover, at Bounty of the Sun, I did not have any favourite dishes due to all of them were so good. In fact, I have tried almost the entire menu and recommend each of the Japanese food I ate here because they were fantastic.
