Sydney’s Tokyo Lamington has teamed up with Melbourne Bushfood to celebrate Australia’s best native ingredients (such as pepperberry, strawberry gum and wattle seed) and flavours. For two weeks only, launching on January 20 the range will be available in store and online.
All ingredients sourced by Melbourne Bushfood are from Indigenous communities, wild harvesters and small Australian farmers and are known for being very distinct in flavour.
The menu includes OG native jam (Cape York lilly pilly jam and vanilla cream dipped in dark chocolate sauce and coconut); chai and pepperberry (date and chai jam, vanilla cream dipped in white chocolate, coconut and pepperberry) and strawberry gum and cream (vanilla cream and strawberry gum dipped in vanilla sauce and coconut). Finger lime meringue, lemon myrtle lime bitters, honey and macadamia, pepper leaf and vanilla, Davidson plum and chocolate and black sesame and wattle seed are also on offer.
Here’s how Tokyo Lamington describe some of the offerings:
Davidson Plum and Chocolate
A classic combination, the combination of tanginess of Davidson Plum and richness of Chocolate Mousse makes this Lamington very moreish.
Filling: Davidson Plum Jam, Milk Chocolate Mousse with Cacao Nibs

Lime and Finger Lime
Hours of scrapping little caviars off Finger Lime is totally worth the sharp and tanginess it brings to this sweet pillowy Lamington.
Filling: Lime Curd with Finger Lime, Vanilla Cream
Dipping Type: Italian Meringue

Black Sesame and Wattleseed
We were amazed at how compatible Black Sesame and Wattleseed are, both in flavour as well as texture. Now this is what we call fusion.
Filling: Black Sesame Cream

An Australian twist on another classic flavour. Don’t be deceived by the pale colour of the strawberry gum, this Lamington packs a punch of flavours.
