Leigh Hudson, Australia’s leading knife authority has opened a new concept store for the Japanese foodie in Rosebery. Expanding beyond Japanese knives, Hudson has branched out into the retail of fine Japanese food. On offer are essential Japanese ingredients including yuzu, organic shoyu, export quality wagyu, ponzu, GMO free miso, pure wasabi, tempura-ko and MSG free dashi.

Sydney chefs are a tight clique and word travels fast. Shoppers include pan rattlers from Aria, Pier, Astral, Billy Kwong, Red Lantern, Icebergs, Fratelli Paradiso, Park Hyatt, Shangri La and The Book Kitchen.

Not just a Japanese food and knives store, Chef’s Armoury offers knife skills classes, workshops and anecdotes on the latest food trends in Tokyo. The 2010 calendar includes free events on Japanese pickle making, wagyu tastings, sashimi and filleting classes, sushi classes, knife sharpening classes and more.

“Japanese food is one of the least understood of all Asian cuisines in Australia. There is so much more to Japanese food than sushi and unless you can read those Japanese food labels it is very hard to cook Japanese at home,” says Hudson.

Japanese kitchen hardware is also available – commercial yakitori grills, portable robata grills (Japanese barbeques) and of course the largest collection of quality Japanese knives in Australia will have you feeling that you’re shopping in the chef supply areas of Osaka & Tokyo.
