I have recently discovered this gem of a place and cannot recommend it highly enough ( especially as it’s only a 10 minute walk from my house!) The restaurant is laid out to accommodate both small, intimate dinners/ drinks or larger gatherings, both of which can be going on without being disturbed or having to raise your voice to be heard. The menu is extensive and for those not familiar with Japanese cuisine, explains each dish clearly and simply. The serving staff also know their stuff if you need help. The drinks menu is also extensive serving a great range of wines, spirits , cocktails and of course, Japanese drinks. Last but not least, the prices are very reasonable. If you live in and around the N22 area, do give it a try. It’s located opposite Wood Green underground and loads of buses stop nearby too. I’ll be back in the New Year to enjoy another delicious dish or two. Can’t wait!
