Azabu Juban is a cobble-stoned residential suburb of Tokyo, where Japan meets the West. It's domestic to overseas embassies, consulates and a congregation of foreign cafes, eating places and retail outlets.
it is additionally the name of Adam Sleight's jap restaurant and bar in Yarraville.
Thirteen years in the past, Sleight was in Japan working in image design and advertising and marketing and living along with his now-spouse, Maya Fujihara, whom he met two days after his arrival. In 2006, when the couple moved to Melbourne's west, Sleight found what they each missed most become basic jap meals.
it is the pair's 2d venue (opened in January 2017), after Ajitoya, a eastern grocery store, bar and diner in Seddon they opened in 2011.
Chef Yuko Kojima has designed a small menu of jap classics from sashimi to karaage chook with spiced chilli and leek sauce. Eye fillet is fired on a charcoal grill, and served with teppanyaki sauce, eco-friendly-tea salt and yuzu koshou (a tangy citrus and pepper paste). A charred gentle octopus with edamame cream purée is without doubt one of the couple's favourites.
There are 26 sorts of japanese whisky on an ever-transforming into menu, with a number of eastern craft beers on faucet (a good way to rotate always) and huge sake, wine and cocktail lists.
The healthy-out changed into inspired by way of the old bars Sleight and Fujihara frequented in Japan. think brick, leather-based and darkish trees. in the back of the bar is an assemblage of knick-knacks that group of workers have collected, or customers have donated. You'll see a recycled money register, pot vegetation, collectible figurines and a yet-to-be-named stuffed peacock that watches over the spirit bottles. here is also where you'll discover Sleight mixing the cocktails.
