Yoshino, London, UK

Sometimes I get obsessed with an ingredient and I will eat it every day for weeks. After my spinach era, my tofu period, my cassoulet age and my watermelon time (which tends to come back persistently every summer) I am currently fixated on raw fish. That began 2 weeks ago when I had a delicious lunch at Yoshino for a very reasonable price.

I ordered a chirashi, and had premium fresh fish with a succulent sushi rice topped with shredded nori, omelette and helda bean.

Yoshino offers also great bento menus, and one of my favourite is the Yoshino Zen "Tzuki":

Grilled mackerel, 

beans in sesame dressing and home-made pickles

Tuna carpaccio and tuna rolls

Sunomono / potato and tofu salad

King prawn tempura

Yoshino also offers terrific home-made desserts, and while matcha pudding may not suit everyone's taste, I am personnally crazy of green tea ice cream, mousse and cakes, and Yoshino's green tea tiramisu is a killer.

Cost: £15.8 for the chirashi sushi (comes with a miso soup), £19.8 for the Tsuki set, £9.8 for the dessert platter
