Harden's says

Eight skewers and sides for £48 is the blow-out omakase option at this Japanese June 2021 newcomer in Marylebone. But you can also order individually and there are sharing plates available too. The PR tells us that the name means ‘pure’ – apparently a reference to the white wood used to fuel the robata.

“Top-notch cooking that uses every bit of the chicken and won’t cost a wing and a leg” draws an appreciative Marylebone crowd to this Japanese two-year-old which “specialises in yakitori skewers with some very interesting options (gizzard anyone?)”. “Go sit at the counter to see the open kitchen at work” and “revel in the omakase menu”.

“Great chicken skewers” are the USP at this Japanese yearling in Marylebone which specialises in yakitori cooking – different cuts of meat “butchered and prepared in-house” so that not a scrap is wasted, and cooked on a robata grill.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
