Namaiki

Namaiki is a Soho sushi restaurant offering an Edo-Mae sushi experience. The room is small and intimate, and the chefs work in traditional Japanese techniques, treating each piece with care.

The restaurant takes its cue from the Edo period, the era that gave rise to Edo-Mae sushi. The focus is depth of flavour and simplicity rather than fusion. The chefs use a range of methods to bring out natural flavour and texture, from careful seasoning to drawing out water and ageing the fish, and these are adjusted daily to suit the ingredients and the season. The result is a considered meal rather than just a plate of food.
