Where it all started

Azuma restaurant first opened in January 1996 on Falcon Street in Crows Nest.

At that time there were only 28 seats, no liquor and no menus! However it was Sydney's first late night Japanese restaurant and was blessed with almost instant success.  
Keen to expand and better spread his love for cooking Azuma moved to a larger location on the same street in July 1998. The new restaurant had 40 seats and a liquor license.
In March 2002 Azuma was given the opportunity to move into Chifley Plaza in Sydney CBD. Azuma describes this relocation as ''a big step''. The cuisine has continued to be consistantly inspired and innovative.
