Hidden in the city. In the corner of the deep side street, if you don't pay attention, you won't notice this high-end Japanese restaurant at all. There is no signboard decoration of traditional Japanese food inside and outside the store, and it looks more like a legendary high-end bar nightclub without a sign. The kung fu of saving the coat has begun to doubt the purity of this house. Once in, it is safe. Save time to study the menu, and then order winter kaiseki cuisine (Winter Kaiseki Menu), plus a sea urchin sashimi. The wine is not afraid of the deep alley! Very exquisite kaiseki cuisine. The dishes are elegant, the ingredients are fresh, the taste is excellent, and the newness is quite new. The seaweed baked outside the tempura is wrapped in hand rolls. The waiters have to eat three mouthfuls. The last mouthful is accompanied by soup to taste different tastes and full of ritual. Venerage and beef sushi with matsutake, the meat is delicate, spread with matsutake, the color and taste are excellent. The slabs of raw fish fillet are equipped with poetry cards written by the chef (you can take it home as a souvenir after the meal), which shows the store's good intentions. The single-point sea urchin sashimi is very delicious and absolutely first-class. As soon as this dish comes out, you know that it is the right place. It is definitely a high-quality new Japanese cuisine. Come to London to eat high-end Japanese food, don't miss his home.

    The Kaiseki restaurant in London has a good evaluation. The sushi inside is good. The chef likes to eat it. It is a little bigger and fresh sea fish sashimi, which is a little worse than all Japan.

    Umu is doing new kaiseki cuisine. It is the most cost-effective new kaiseki I have eaten in many cities in the past few years, and it has become one of my favorite restaurants in London. The door is a bit hidden and the decoration is very modern after entering. I ordered kaiseki winter menu (Winter Kaiseki cuisine). The first cornish cuttlefish with okinawa snow salt, the snow salt just rightly ordered the freshness of the fish, and it will not be noisy. spider crab cake clear soup is crab meat cake with clear soup. The crab cake here is different from the crab cake I ate before. The meat is more compact and the clear soup is very fresh! The third course is fish raw, put on the paper written by the chef himself, the plate is full, the taste is also full. Afterwards, the sashimi, tuna salmon, etc., these mainstream fish raw ingredients, because they are very fresh, you can also eat amazing feeling. The meat taste is very in place, to be honest, now sashimi can eat wow restaurants are less and less, I think these pieces of umu make me feel wow. The fourth fried shrimp tempura, I just want to remind everyone that shrimp head is just decoration can not eat, unlike the original I eat tempura, shrimp head is a piece, here shrimp head can not eat oh. The fifth is sushi, this one is slightly general, after all, it is still new, and the difference between traditional hand-held sushi is still very big. The sixth road monkfish hot pot, the dishes are very interesting and the ingredients are put in a cardboard box, and the winter vegetables with monkfish are very fresh and delicious. Because I don't eat venison, so the last one was replaced with scallops and winter black truffles. I have to say that the truffle slices are very generous, each slice is thick, very tasteful, the whole bowl of rice tastes full, so that I don't like rice. The last dessert is also a fresh and refreshing type, not greasy at all, in line with the taste of Asians. After rectifying, I feel that every one except sushi likes it very much. The overall seafood is mainly the taste, the taste is light and delicious, the decoration is very exquisite, and then look at the price list, the price is very high. This is a kaiseki cuisine that tastes very good and cost-effective. It is worth mentioning that the service is very good, unlike some Japanese food stores, the attitude is very tough, and it is very comfortable to eat here! Back to London in the future, this is definitely my must-come place.

    I didn’t report much hope for Japanese food in the UK, but this store surprised me that I didn’t see the Japanese chef. I drizzled the beef with the sauce and rolled the vegetables. The plate was exquisite and I didn’t eat the greasy and full feeling of meat. It was accompanied by a bowl of steamed rice. It was a satisfying lunch. The sushi platter was not special. The fish was fresh and tasted good, but the rice was not good, loose and loose, and the foie gras sushi was very creative. The potted image of tiramisu liked it very much and the taste was good. This is a recommended Japanese food store. The restaurant is located on a relatively hidden path. Still good to find, the space between the seats is not large, but the environment is not dry, has a good dining atmosphere. The waiters and chefs are mostly European and American, not the same as the Japanese restaurant in the impression, but they will use Japanese to greet, but it sounds a bit weird. Haha. And their service is to make people feel professionally trained

    UmU did not disappoint me, especially the tiramisu is very special, the bottom is added with plum sauce Japanese ingredients, and cattle must be the love of carnivores reminding you to remember to locate in advance on weekends to avoid waiting

    UMU is the only Michelin-star kaiseki cuisine in London, and it is not disappointing. The location of the restaurant is not as quiet as traditional kaiseki cuisine, but the other world hidden behind the wooden door is also a good idea. "With the saints by brown Huaiyu", the rustic exterior contains full sincerity!

    The environment and service are very good. As for the taste, I ordered three dishes and nine sushi. Except for scallop sushi and sea urchin sushi, the others are so-so. It is not delicious but not unpalatable. The sake price is very low. The overall price/performance ratio is quite general, but sushi is much better than sushi in other cheap Japanese restaurants in London.
