Hey there foodies – We are beyond excited to introduce you to our brand new food and drink menus, which we launched earlier this year (2023) in February and May, respectively. We’ve worked hard to create a perfect balance between our all-time popular classics and new, exciting dishes that will transport your taste buds straight to Japan, from right here in the heart of Islington.
Japanese sushi and more
Let’s talk about some of our new menu items that we can’t wait for you to try. First up, we have the Cheesy Potato Mochi and Spicy Prawn Cocktail. These may not seem like conventional Japanese dishes, but trust us, you have to try them. We promise they’ll leave you craving for more.
If you’re not familiar with the term “izakaya,” don’t worry, we explain it all in our next blog post here. But in short, it’s a restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere where you can sip on some sake and enjoy quality time with your loved ones. And that’s precisely the vibe we wanted to create with our new menu. We’ve added more shareable plates so you can indulge in good food with good company.
British & Japanese fusion food
We’re also big fans of British cuisine, and we wanted to infuse some of those familiar flavours into our Japanese-style dishes. Our Yuzu Bloody Mary is a perfect example of this fusion, and it’s been a massive hit with our customers. Plus, we’ve experimented with Japanese-style Scotch Eggs, and they are popular, too.
Japanese sake, cocktails and wine
And that’s not all! We’ve carefully curated a drinks menu that includes unique sake and wine pairings you won’t find anywhere else. Our staff is always happy to recommend their favourites, and don’t forget to check out our daily specials on the blackboard.
We’re passionate about creating dishes that will make your taste buds sing, and we can’t wait for you to try our new menu. Come and join us for a treat day, anniversary celebration, date night, or even a business dinner. Whatever the occasion, we’ve got you covered. You can book a table with us here. We look forward to seeing you!
