“This sweet little restaurant is a hit with the locals. Authentic Japanese dishes are prepared with care and there’s good detail in the execution. The tempura, sushi and sashimi are highlights but don’t overlook the small plates”
-The Michellin Guide
One particular highlight on their menu is the Winchester roll. This special sushi roll is the first in the world to use wasabi leaves instead of seaweed. Even more unique is the fact that the wasabi leaf used in the roll is sourced from Europe’s only wasabi farm, which is located in Winchester. The Winchester roll consists of local smoked trout garnished with edible flowers, goji berries, and fresh wasabi.
