Brisbane Powerhouse’s Night Feast Is Back This October With An Authentic Pop-Up Izakaya

Sapporo Izakaya By Taro Night Feast Brisbane | DesignMyNight

This festival is truly a feast for the eyes. 

Guess what's back and better than ever? The biannual food market Night Feast has returned to Brisbane Powerhouse this October, now with a pop-up izakaya from Taro Akimoto, the man behind Taro’s Ramen. But that’s not all, as he’s also joined by Sapporo ambassador Shinichiro Shimo, who’s complimenting dishes with delicious brews to create the ultimate Japanese dining experience: Sapporo Izakaya by Taro. Better yet, entry’s free.

Expect high-quality small plates, because Brisbane's noodle legend is swapping his broth for the grill and beyond. The signature set menu includes dishes like wagyu garlic steak, an assortment of sashimi and kimchi tofu, plus sweet spheres of walnut miso mochi to finish. Izakaya translates to “stay-drink-place” which is what, by curating such thoughtful and creative plates, Akimoto and Sapporo implore you to do.

As one of the most-hyped events for 2023, it boasts a wide variety of global flavours, with food and drink vendors including Donna Chang, Wonderbao, Bar Alto, MAYA, La Mano and many more. If that wasn’t enough? There’ll also be plenty of entertainment, from roaming performers and circus shows to live music.

Night Feast is on now at Brisbane Powerhouse, New Farm, QLD 4005 until 29th October. Feeling inspired? Check out our quirky date ideas and sign up to our future newsletter for more Brisbane updates.
