Creative sushi without soy sauce, featuring unique toppings and sake
"We all love Kensington. The museums, Hyde Park, that pretty street that you aren’t allowed to take pictures of. But we’ve got another reason for you to love it: Yashin Sushi. This quiet spot serves excellent and creative sushi using high-quality fish topped with things like yuzu salt, edible flowers, parmesan, truffle, and sun-dried tomatoes. The atmosphere isn’t exactly buzzing, but the food more than makes up for it." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, jake missing
"Every time a tuna craving strikes, we get flashbacks of the genius, slightly sweet ponzu jelly on top of Yashin Sushi’s soft toro and remember the profound urge to weaponise our chopsticks to secure the last piece of truffle-topped grouper. Nothing here comes with classic soy sauce. In its place, you’ll find a lip-smacking kiss of green chilli sauce on your Scottish salmon or burrata miso on the sea bass. The counter-seating experience is undeniably Kensington glamorous, but thanks to the smaller omakase options, you don’t necessarily have to spend big to experience their unique sushi hat inventions." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
"This serene spot in Kensington serves some excellent and creative sushi topped with things like yuzu salt, edible flowers, parmesan, truffle, and sun-dried tomatoes. The atmosphere isn’t exactly buzzing, but two seats at the counter, with rounds of flawless sushi makes this the ideal spot for a chilled Sunday date night when you just want to wind down." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"Look, if you ever think one of our homemade dishes involves dry ice please know that we’ve just been overly zealous with our vape. We like to leave the fancy theatrics for restaurants like Yashin Sushi. It’s a small but decidedly upmarket Kensington spot that excels in drama by way of raw fish. The counter seating enables a whole lot of expert knife envy and thoughts around whether it’s socially acceptable to lean over and grab a little truffle-infused ponzu jelly. Don’t be deceived by the talk of dry ice and creative takes on the classics, this is truly some of the best sushi in London." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"Yashin in Kensington serves some of the most inventive sushi in London and, yes, this is a fancy Sunday night dinner move. But you may or may not have had a hard weekend so you may or may not deserve to eat some sushi topped with truffle. It’s open until 11pm." - jake missing, sinead cranna
