Inside the Kitchen: Local Produce, Timeless Technique
Have you ever wondered what really makes a meal special?
For us at Midori, it begins with where our food comes from. Every avocado, potato, and cob of corn on your plate has been grown right here in Australia. By choosing local produce, we’re not only serving ingredients at their freshest, but also supporting the farmers who care for the land and work with the seasons. There’s something grounding about knowing your meal started just a few hours down the road.
Local ingredients are only the beginning. The next step is how we prepare them. Japanese cuisine is built on centuries of tradition and respect for food. It’s about balance, care, and attention to detail — whether that’s simmering a broth slowly to build layers of umami, cutting vegetables with precision to enhance their texture, or pairing flavours so they complement rather than compete. When Australian produce meets Japanese technique, something magical happens. A humble potato becomes delicate and flavourful. Seasonal greens carry both freshness and depth. Even a simple ear of corn can be transformed into something comforting and surprising.
For us, good food is more than what’s on the plate. It’s the connection between farmer and cook, between culture and craft, between tradition and today. It’s care at every step — from the field, to our kitchen, to your table. 💚
