Living near Melbourne’s cafes, our son’s Christmas mountain bike lets him explore farther. Solo parenting during my husband’s conference, I aimed for quality father-son time through exercise. Discovering Ima Asa Yoru’s move to Brunswick, we seized the chance to boost our son’s fitness, biking the Upfield track. Waiting at the playground-proximate cafe, we enjoyed an onigiri from the nearby takeaway shop. For a table, plan ahead with Ima Asa Yoru’s online booking. Arriving post-lunch at 2 pm offers optimal timing for both a table and menu exploration, revealing tantalizing options like the classic teishoku and innovative dishes like chirashi and mazesoba. Make sure to explore Brunswick’s streets while waiting. And, of course, explore the enticing drinks menu.
