Set in a discreet location, this Japanese restaurant offers an unassuming charm, bringing an authentic culinary experience right to your plate. The menu is a testament to traditional Japanese fare, featuring exquisite options such as the must-try Omakase, succulent fatty tuna nigiri, and delicately prepared Chu-toro. Guests are also treated to a variety of side dishes like octopus karaage and seaweed salad, ensuring that every palate finds its match. The cleverly assembled menu doesn’t shy away from innovation, offering both raw and cooked delights, including popular tempura rolls and black cod miso. Service maintains a friendly and attentive demeanor, though on busier nights, you may need patience or a reservation for the coveted sushi bar seating. A notable array of Japanese wine and sake adds the finishing touch to what is easily one of London’s best-kept secrets for serious sushi aficionados.
