“The sushi train at Taiwa Sushi slowly moves dish after dish after dish along a super-long conveyor belt that winds through the restaurant, directly in front of most seats,” writes dining reviewer WENDY JOHNSON.

New on Kingston Foreshore is a Japanese restaurant with an extensive menu featuring classic sashimi, sushi, small rolls, larger hand rolls, dumplings and other hot dishes, salads and Udon noodle soups.

There is something about a performance by top-class musicians who’ve played together for decades, says reviewer MICHAEL WILSON.

There’s no fuss: no apprehension about what other players might do in the moment. So it was for the final concert of the Selby & Friends season, when Kathryn Selby (piano) was joined by Julian Smiles (cello) and Dimity Hall (violin) for a varied and challenging program of piano trios connecting Germany, France, Spain and Latvia.

In this intimate venue, each musician introduced pieces in their personal styles. Like any good host, Selby made sure her guests shone throughout, even at times where the piano line dominated. Fresh from their farewell tour as one half of the Goldner String Quartet, Hall and Smiles blended seamlessly when that was required, and emphasised discordance when called for, especially in the program’s title work by Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks.
