Japanese$
Melbourne’s original purveyor of Japanese breakfasts is still a fixture of the city’s mornings – and that’s not all. Its homewares shop has grown to encompass all the knives, cast-iron pots, soy-sauce dispensers and Japanese ceramics you could wish for, without crossing international borders. Plus, there’s a grocer for kombu, yuzu kosho and (sometimes) fresh produce.
Good to know: The traditional Japanese breakfast plate can be amped up with fermented soy beans, sour plum and more.
