Qype: Tsuru in London

London - Eating & Drinking - Restaurants - Japanese & Sushi


Was lucky enough to attend a cosy little sushi making event here recently - complete with warmed saki and step by step instructions from one of their chefs. We rolled cucumber maki, inside out salmon and avocado rolls, tempura prawn hand roll and salmon and tuna nigiri.

The chef was friendly and gave little tips and suggestions about making your own sushi (like you shouldn't buy raw salmon from super markets for sushi as most of it is wild salmon and there are some nasty bacteria that you don't get in controlled, farmed salmon that's not so good to have raw) and took us through the motions to produce our own little rolls of joy.

There was a little confusion over when to eat what we'd made as well as what was planned as initially we'd been told miso soup and katsu would also be involved, but on the whole was a fun evening and at a superb sushi destination with great staff and a pretty decent, authentic menu.
