Bincho Yakitori, Soho, London

Japanese Pickles and Daikon salad

Asparagus, Enoki, Quail eggs and tomatoes wrapped in bacon

The inclined reader will have noticed my increasing interest in Japanese food. After holding a talk, I unfortunately had to excuse myself from the corporate standup lunch and headed out to a very important meeting. I had a date with myself at the Bincho Yakitori to taste the Yakitori. The place is quiet large, and I selected a small table near the entrance. The sake selection was large and Ihad an interesting experience after talking with the (not quite fluent in english) waitress. The masu (wooden box for serving sake), does change the taste of the sake, making it a bit more mellow. After trying that out, I can confirm this. The food was okay, I liked the pickles, wasn’t a big fan of the daikon salad and thought that the bacon was too thin on the different sticks. Finances:
