Takahashi

All things Japan London United Kingdom

One of my best discoveries recently is 8 places sushi-ya in Wimbledon Takahashi, run by a husband and a wife team. Before moving to London, Nobuhisa Takahashi worked at a kaiseki restaurant in Japan as well as Nobu Tokyo, where he acquired great skills for both, sushi and Japanese fine dining. I especially loved his nigiris, which were some of the best I’ve had in Europe these days. Takahashi serves omakase only that includes kaiseki style dishes followed by sushi.
