The best Japanese experience in all of London; and my favorite restaurant. Just 8 seats, only the absolute freshest and top quality fish selected and flown in from all over the world, prepared with absolute precision. We were back last night and continue to be wowed and impressed with creative new dishes from Chef. Sea Urchin (Uni) from Iceland had just come into season and scallops from Hokkaido served tempura topped with fresh truffle shavings were among the standouts from the 13+ little works of art that comprised the omakase. Excellent value for money considering the ingredients served (A5 Wagyu, Oscetra Gold Caviar, etc). Extensive and well curated Sake and wine list. Book well in advance at set date-windows released on their website.
I took my partner for dinner at Takahashi last night and it was quite honestly one of the most incredible meals of ours lives. With only four of us in the restaurant, 12 ever max apparently, we were really guaranteed the chef's full attention to detail. We watched a true artist at work.
We had the premium omakase, which is only available on select dates - not cheap, but then again cheap sushi never equals good sushi in my experience, and this is quite incredible sushi. 18 small delicacies were served, each one perfectly balanced. Sounds a lot, but each portion was perfectly sized so you could easily enjoy them all without feeling too stuffed to move.
I doubt that there are many Japanese restaurants in London that produce food to this level. Definitely not your average sushi restaurant - come here if you want a truly unique experience which you rarely find outside of Japan.
The omakase was exceptional with uniquely flavourful sushi, a delightful experience! The warm hospitality of the owners and their welcoming presence added a personal touch. Highly recommend, even if it’s slightly further out from central London!
