Japan

Description

Host Will Studd and leading Australian chef Tetsuya Wakadu travel to Japan to learn if the Japanese like cheese. Their trip starts with a visit to Tokyo's best-known cheese shop, Fermier - located in the basement of the busy department store in Shibuya, where they discover the extraordinary range available. Next it's off to Shimizu Farm in Nagano to see how a traditional mountain cheese is made, and then to Yoshida Farm where they try their hand at cheese making. Chef Wakuda throws a party where he and his friends demonstrate new ways to cook with cheese, Japanese style, and Will visits the island of Hokkaido where washed rind cheese is carefully matured in underground cellars.
