Merton, Japanese - Restaurant Guide

“Consistently great omakase” cuisine that’s “incredible value for money” has attracted an adoring fan club over the past decade for this “exceptional” Japanese spot in a suburban shopping parade, near South Wimbledon tube. Ex-Nobu chef Taka and his wife Yuko guarantee a “serene experience”, and “the neutral decor creates a Zen-like calmness which somehow enhances the food”. “It’s worth taking the Northern Line to SW19 just to eat there!”. (In putting together our prices for this year, though, we note a big jump in its formula price from previous editions – the offering here seems to be becoming more ambitious but priced more to match other omakase experiences around town).
