Of all the cuisines favoured by Britons, Japanese takes a special place, it has, to a large extent, revolutionised the way lots of people eat, take sushi for example, or even the way they sit, with tatami mats and low tables. One thing is for certain, there is no shortage of lively conversations and Hi Sushi Izakaya likewise invites guest to come along and enjoy the izakaya style of dining.

So what comes to the table could be lamb cutlets with Japanese spices, fresh salmon jaw with crystal sea salt, sea bream marinated with miso, and beef fillet with ginger and young leek in yakiniku sauce. The chef's specials invite urgent contemplation, like the buttery soft black cod miso yaki, duck tataki plum salsa, and pan-fried chicken with teriyaki sauce. The opera rolls are an imaginative combination of fresh ingredients like jumbo prawns, asparagus and avocado, or seven different kinds of sashimi.
