Asian cuisine is popular worldwide, but Japanese food arguably comprises the most fabulous flavours of the Far East. Japan has always been famous for its unique approach to gastronomy, combining a world of exotic ingredients and aromatic spices to create truly inspiring dishes.
An introduction to Japanese food

In addition, Japanese cuisine is known for being as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. Which goes some way to explain why food photography is such a widespread passion in Japan, where even the simplest street food can be a work of art in its own right.
What really makes the difference with Japanese food is the essence of simplicity at the core of the country’s cuisine. Most classic Japanese dishes comprise only a handful of ingredients, allowing the fresh flavours of the main components to shine. But as many of these ingredients are unique to Japanese cuisine and culture, the resulting dish tastes nothing like the food served anywhere else in the world.
Coupled with the notable health benefits of Japanese cuisine and an incredibly diverse menu to explore, the allure and appeal of Japanese food is easy to understand.
All of which we embrace and celebrate here at IRO Sushi, where you’ll find only the most authentic and decadent Japanese delicacies served up in London.
