Sushi Tetsu - London

The life in the opposite is a wonderful thing. If we had not compare the dinge, then life would instead dissolve into an incessant, incessant, mouthful stretch. or so I'll tell myself every time I have a bad meal. it serves only to add to the seasoning of life. but they don't say that to my face when I'm a little distorted. otherwise I write about you a little less than free, so what I think if something bad happens to me is that it's a good idea to use later than to make my sad moments so little better.

Getting a seat at Sushi Tetsu is pretty much impossible – seriously. I’ve been trying for yonks now and as soon as they open for bookings (on the first and third Monday of each month for the following month) they’re engaged and then gone. The fact Sushi Tetsu has just 7 seats doesn’t help. The fact it’s **** brilliant, doesn’t much help either.

Sushi Tetsu is the real deal. It is the authentic Japanese sushi restaurant, where you eat at a counter in an intimate setting while you watch your super chef expertly prepare each piece of nigiri, slice each piece of sashimi, grate real wasabi on shark skin, carefully combine each ingredient and serve it all the perfect temperature. And you don 't even have to worry about ordering the right things because by saying the magic word omakase you will be served the best possible meal available. We had the sashimi and sushi omakase menu £88) but couldn 't resist ordering a few extra pieces of sushi at the end. Everything was absolutely delicious but while good sashimi can be more easily found in other places, the real stand out here is the sushi. Some of the most delicious were the squid with cherry blossom salt and the melt-in-your-mouth seared fatty tuna. Cannot recommend this place enough. They make you work to get a spot in their tiny restaurant, but it 's worth the hassle!

Sushi Tetsu has been opened for more than 3 years. Why it has taken me this long to come here begs the question. Perhaps it is because it is almost impossible to get a seat at this little restaurant with only 7 seats around the sushi counter – the restaurant only takes bookings on two days a month and you you need a fair bit of luck to snag a seat here especially if you have a particular date and time in mind. This makes booking a table at the Fat Duck seem a piece of cake.

Those who have been fortunate enough to get a seat at Sushi Tetsu, know of the trauma attached to finally getting that coveted reservation at this 7 seater restaurant. Harumi and Toru Takahashi set up shop in a tiny alleyway in Farringdon, with only 7 seats at the bar. It 's so eye waveringly small you have to do a double-take. It feels so exclusive that like Sushi Tetsu was opened for the night just for you. Sushi Tetsu offer only sushi and sashimi. Purity at it 's finest. The fish is sourced only from Billingsgate market, and is laid out like an artistic masterpiece, ready to be sliced. Toru was trained from the kitchens of Nobu, and stands centre stage behind the imposing wood counter. You know you 're in the presence of a master. Literally felt the urge to drop to my knees and say we 're not worthy... You 'll only understand what I mean, if you go to Sushi Tetsu. Ambiance? Think like a little piece of Japan, just set up shop in London. Nothing else in the city even compares to Sushi Tetsu. Instant transportation. Hitting those air miles without setting foot on a plane. YEAH-O-Meter? There 's something pretty sensual about being made the perfect pieces of sushi. There 's are fine art to enjoying sushi to it 's fullest. From being shown exactly how to put it in your mouth. Exactly how to hold it in your finger tips. To exactly how it should be eaten, ; You know when fish starts to assume the texture of butter, serious skill has been used in the sourcing and preparation. So much skill that the end result is silken, melting, dream-like pieces of orgasmic sushi just lying there waiting to be taken. Every piece of sushi was perfect. To keep up such consistency is just mind blowing. I almost lost myself just staring at knife skills of Chef Toru. Mesmerising. Now, I could write an essay about each piece; but I probably couldn 't give it any justice. You just had to simply be there. Sex Appeal? This is THE best sushi that I 've ever had. There is a reason why this place is so in demand. My experience with Sushi Tetsu was surreal. Words simply cannot describe it. Book yourself in Sushi Tetsu, and you 'll never look at sushi the same way again. Yummei 's? 10/10 Yummei 's
