Dinner at @amamotolondon 🍣

Popped in to try the new-ishh omakase that took over from Taku earlier this year. A strong new direction with a few slightly more playful courses mixed in amongst the sushi.
Started with some refined small bites before moving into the cooked courses, and one of my favourites early on was the abalone chawanmushi with summer truffle. Super silky, really deep flavour from the abalone and the truffle seeped beautifully into the egg.

Started with some refined small bites before moving into the cooked courses, and one of my favourites early on was the abalone chawanmushi with summer truffle. Super silky, really deep flavour from the abalone and the truffle seeped beautifully into the egg.
The grilled red mullet with sea salt was another standout. Really simple, perfectly cooked and one of those dishes where there’s basically nowhere to hide. Charred crispy skin and tender fish with some yuzu sake on the side.
Nigiri was strong throughout, but the scallop was probably my favourite piece of the night. Really delicate, buttery and well balanced with the sweet soy on top.
Then the most memorable course of the entire menu: the foie gras ice cream sando with caramel, dark chocolate and sea salt. Sounds like a mad combination, but the balance was immaculate. Rich, sweet, salty, slightly bitter from the chocolate. A very clever middle course before continuing through the journey.
Finished with tamago and Eton mess to close out the 20 courses. Really enjoyed this one. Top ingredients, great pacing and enough interesting dishes in there to make it feel a little different. Less
It was in March 2023. After my first trip to Japan I decided to do a sushi raid in London. At this time I was still writing my first book and I felt like I needed to do every great sushi in Europe. During this trip most places were disappointing Araki and Roji were not really good. Maru was fine, but nothing special. Maybe I was becoming too picky after traveling to Japan.

It was in March 2023. After my first trip to Japan I decided to do a sushi raid in London. At this time I was still writing my first book and I felt like I needed to do every great sushi in Europe.

However my meal at @takumayfair reminded me that determined Shokunin can produce great things. I met @johnparkldn & @nozng and they did great. Both the tsumamis and nigiris I had on that day reminded me of the quality I found in Japan a few months ago. 2023 and London seem so far away now. All we can do is move forward but this is a great memory ❣️🍣
