Mitsukoshi

About

Mitsukoshi is close to celebrating its 20th birthday, and still going strong. The restaurant began as one of the first sushi places in London, and has retained critical acclaim ever since. Health conscious types will particularly enjoy the separate sushi bar. This offers a minimum calorie lunch of fresh fish, rolled with sushi rice and seaweed, and fired with a grating of freshwater horseradish. Restaurant favourites include pungent, salty natto (fermented soy beans), alongside pure buckwheat noodles, chilled with ice, and eaten within minutes of preparation. These delicacies are teamed with silken tofu, dropped into nourishing miso soup, and finished with seaweed. The dinner menu includes a selection of tempura - prawn and vegetables dipped in light rice flour batter, and fried until light and crispy. The specialities don't end there, and Mitsukoshi also hones its specialist blades on yakitori - marinated skewered chicken cooked on a hot griddle. And if this wasn't enough culture for one evening, the green-tea ice-cream makes a deliciously different dessert.

Mitsukoshi has excellent facilities for groups to experience true Japanese hospitality, and features rooms specifically designed for parties of diners. The Japanese style Sakura Room provides a great opportunity for guests to get to grips with a set of chopsticks. Guests sit cross-legged on tatami mats whilst food is transferred to the sunken table at lightening speed. For less flexible visitors, there is also the western style Fuyji room, which can seat up to twenty people, in elegant surroundings. Either of the rooms can be exclusively booked for a supplement of £5 per person. The restaurant can also provide a la carte, or set menus especially designed for groups. For diners keen to experience a wide array of Japanese food, this provides an ideal opportunity to sample from the extensive selection of sushi, sashimi, and tempura. Special occasions can also be toasted over premium sake, or snow filtered Japanese whisky.
