The next venue from this two-hatted Japanese restaurant will be totally different
Eight years after opening two-hatted Ishizuka, one of Melbourne's first kaiseki restaurants, restaurateur Melanie Zhang is launching another original dining concept. Oden, opening on Bourke Street later this year, is named after the Japanese dish it will serve, a hearty one-pot meal of fish cakes, daikon, eggs and more, simmered in broth. 'Melbourne is perfect for oden because it's cold,' says Zhang. 'A warm, slow-cooked soup is very suitable.' Just as Ishizuka kicked off a kaiseki craze, Zhang is hoping oden will seep into the Melbourne dining-scape. 'I enjoy introducing a cuisine and increasing people's understanding about food,' she says. In comparison to kaiseki's multi-course seasonal progression, oden is a humble meal, often served in homes or dispensed from convenience stores. Oden will offer an elegant restaurant version to 38 diners at a time, with 21 seats around a kitchen counter and design details in beaten copper. The restaurant is in an ex-real estate office on Bourke Street in the city, upstairs from Ishizuka's subterranean city den.

Lex Greensill was ‘dishonest', IAG alleges in $7b court battle
Greensill Capital's insurers are racing to include a previously confidential report from Switzerland's financial regulator as part of their defences in an Australian legal battle as they try to avoid up to $7 billion in payouts. ASX-listed IAG and its former subsidiary Bond & Credit Co – now owned by Japanese insurer Tokio Marine – are fighting creditors of Lex Greensill's collapsed financing empire in Federal Court and trying to finalise defence statements ahead of a trial slated for August 2026 in Sydney.
