Since starting his apprenticeship as a 15 year old he has been working in kitchens everyday since. Under Mitch's guidance Iku Yakitori has achieved the coveted "Australian Good Food Guide" Chef Hat award and been named a Delicious Magazine top 100 Restaurant
He has travelled extensively including many stints across Asia and Japan perfecting his culinary skills and passion for food (he also loves a Japanese whisky or two)

Justin Laneway
Great selection of Japanese Whisky.
Sidle into Justins Laneway to find Iku, find the blue neon sign and walk through the wooden door frame into the bar, for a night to remember.
Iku's Yakitori
Sticking to Japanese tradition, all cuts of the chicken are given a grilling here, including the skin, gizzards, wings, and pick of the bunch, the oyster — exploding with juices from behind its crisp, fatty skin.
