There’s a lot to admire about Japanese culture from their amazing fashion and electronics to incredible writers like Haruki Murakami.
Best of all perhaps is the amazing food.
Sushi, sashimi, ramen, yakitori, okonomiyaki and all the rest, we’re big fans.

Try these three Time Out recommended venues.
Aja Asian and Teppenyaki
The dimly-lit dining room is beautiful, with dark furnishings, and modern décor surrounding the live cooking station where expert chefs create sushi and sashimi to order. It’s classy and modern without being stuffy or unwelcoming, striking a balance between fine dining and ideal date night spot. To read the full review click here.
Toki
With quiet booths, an authentic feel and relaxed pace, Toki immediately feels like the kind of place that you could spend a whole afternoon inside, slowly devouring the entire array of sushi options.

Tokyo Grill
The interior is fabulously cool and Far Eastern-themed. An imposing suit of Japanese armour greets you as you walk through the door, and paper streamers hang from the ceiling. Take a seat near the open kitchen, where you can watch the chefs at work. To read the full review click here.
