Situated in the Japan Centre, this delicatessen offers some of the cheapest and best quality Japanese food in London – it’s no wonder the place is frequented by people you’d expect to see at a Tokyo counter. You can get a good selection of sushi for a couple of quid (£2.00 English speak, for those that don’t know) or splash out for a bit more variety.
