Life

Life is a discret Japanese bar and restaurant on Old street. As the massive wooden front door is always closed it is easy to miss the place. Inside, there is a bar on the right, and a dining room on the left with a few scattered tables.

We had dinner there with M. and R., a Japanese-French couple who got married in Tokyo in August (congratulations guys!). As we went there before the wedding, the bride-to-be ordered a tofu salad, to be able to breathe in her wedding kimono. The rest of us ordered some teriyaki and sushi sets with no guilt.

Tofu salad

Prawn and vegetables tempura

Salmon and tuna sashimi

Chicken teriyaki

Salmon teriyaki

Sushi and rolls platter

Fresh fruits and matcha creme brulee

Fish was fresh, the tempura batter was crisp, and the teriyaki marinade was well balanced.The matcha creme brulée was a nice combination to be tried at home (now that I have my torch it should be easy).


Cost: Teriyaki or Tempura course: £25, Sushi course: £30 (dinner menu) including:
2 appetizers, miso soup, 1 main (Chicken or Salmon Teriyaki or assorted tempura or assorted sushi), and dessert
