Andre Bishop (Robot Bar and Golden Monkey) is a self confessed Japanophile – of Japano-geek. He’s a man that’s taken the business of sake and made it his business by bringing its unique flavor and style to the streets of Melbourne.
Most recently he has launched Kumo Izakaya & Sake Bar in East Brunswick. “I have relished the opportunity to combine what I love most about izakayas in Japan with original elements that celebrate local culture and produce,” Bishop said of his latest venue, “Kumo is the complete picture for me.”
With what’s touted as Australia’s biggest sake list, a fine range of beers and wine Bishop has delivered another Japanese styled gem.
