With temaki (a.k.a. Japanese handrolls on the rise), handroll bars have finally landed in London. One of the best is Ukiyo, located in Covent Garden. With less than a score of seats, you’ll feel a part of the chefs working their magic. What to get? Our favourites include a selection of hand roll: ‘Negi Toro’, ‘Spicy Tuna’, ‘Spicy Yellowtail’ and ‘Salmon Avocado Crisp’. To accompany it, order one round of the ‘Hamachi Jalapeno’ and ‘Yellowtail Tiradito’.
Best for: Quick lunches, date nights or friendly catch-ups. A place that fits it all.
