D’s Authentic Japanese of Connolly

D’s Authentic Japanese is an authentic Japanese restaurant located on Glenelg Place in Connolly, Western Australia. We specialise in making our customers happy through smiling Japanese service and delicious food.

The art of Japanese cooking is not something learnt overnight – it is a dedication and commitment to which we are bound. From preparation, cooking to service, Japanese dining is a traditional ceremony that represents good health, prosperity and the love of food. To truly honour this philosophy, we select only the best fresh ingredients sourced from quality local suppliers to ensure that our customers experience the true textures and flavours of our cuisine.

Chef Koji Harada started cooking at the age of 8 years old, helping his mother prepare meals for his younger brother and sister. By the time he had graduated from high school at the age of 18, his passion for cooking led him to enrol in the famous Osaka cooking school, Tsuji, as well as take on an apprenticeship at a local sushi restaurant.

After graduating 2 years later, he moved to Nagoya and refined his skills at a local ryotei, Sueki, that specialised in bento box preparation.

Chef Koji learnt his filleting and knife skills working at an Osaka fish market and a local traditional Kappo restaurant, Ichiyo. Interested in bringing Japanese cuisine to the world, at age 28, Chef Koji accepted the position of Sushi Chef at Nobu restaurant in Burswood, Perth.

His rounded experience has since lead him to D’s Authentic Japanese restaurant where he now delights in formulating unique Japanese creations and flavours of his own.

Our meats are free-range, hormone and antibiotic free, while our seafood is supplied fresh on a daily basis. Our sauces are made from scratch using authentic Japanese ingredients, are free from preservatives and additives, and have been carefully selected and tasted to ensure that they meet our high standards. In the tradition of fine Japanese dining and the spirit of gratitude and love, we wish our lovely customers happiness and good health.
