"An open temaki sushi – an envelope of toasted, then tempuraed nori – comes filled with cubes of tuna tartare bound with spiced mayonnaise and a blitz of spring onions. It is crisp and soft, subtle and powerful." READ REVIEW

"Choose carefully, and you’ll eat like an emperor. But the duds do leave a bitter tang. These, though, are early days." READ REVIEW

"Every plate is a thing of beauty, its flavours as intriguing. Take the must-order ‘open’ tuna temaki: a twist on a traditional handroll, the seaweed wrapper comes tempura-battered (it really works) and set into a ‘U’ shape, much like a hard taco." READ REVIEW

"Sosharu is all about the little details, an aggregation of tiny factors that lifts it from a decent Japanese restaurant to a place that you really shouldn’t miss. That Jason Atherton is going to make a million, I tell you." READ REVIEW

"Miyazaki wagyu tataki — a handful of seared beef cubes — with turnip and radish kinpira, a sort of quick pickle, served with scoops made from deep-fried kale is another ingenious assembly I recommend if the price doesn’t offend. It is wagyu after all." READ REVIEW
