1808 Lounge Bar







Tucked away on St John Street in Launceston, Izakaya Hikarie is a cosy Japanese izakaya inspired by the warmth and energy of Japan's neighbourhood dining culture. It is a place to slow down, share good food and enjoy time together.
The menu features Japanese favourites, from grilled yakitori and crispy agemono to tempura and small plates made for sharing. For something more comforting, guests can enjoy a bowl of udon or a hearty rice bowl, paired with a selection of Japanese drinks.
Whether joining friends for dinner, enjoying a casual meal or simply seeking a taste of Japan, Izakaya Hikarie is a welcoming little spot in the heart of Launceston.
