Sushi Tetsu

Clerkenwell·$$$

Toro (Fatty Tuna)

£187.00

The fattiest, most buttery cut of the tuna, melting on the tongue.

Tip: The toro usually appears near the end of the omakase sequence because of its richness. Let it melt on your tongue rather than chewing.

#2Score 93/100

Sushi Tetsu

Clerkenwell·$$$

Scallop (Hotate) with Torch

£187.00

Fresh scallop lightly charred under the blowtorch, sweet and smoky.

Tip: The torch is applied tableside — you'll see and smell the charring happen. Eat it immediately while the top is still warm.

#3Score 92/100

Kizana

Battersea·$$$

Truffle Tuna Hosomaki Roll

£12.50

Thin-cut tuna wrapped in nori rice with a dollop of truffle mayo on top.

Tip: This is a daily special that often sells out by evening. Go at lunch on a weekday for the best chance of getting it.

Sushi Tetsu

Clerkenwell·$$$

Ikura (Salmon Roe)

£187.00

Large, briny salmon eggs that pop with oceanic flavour.

Tip: Ikura appears mid-sequence to cleanse your palate between richer pieces. The cold temperature is intentional.

#5Score 90/100

Kizana

Battersea·$$$

Prawn Tempura Roll

£11.50

Crispy prawn, avocado, and cucumber wrapped in rice with spicy mayo.

Tip: Eat this quickly — the tempura stays crispy for the first few minutes but softens if you leave it. The spicy mayo adds good heat.

#6Score 89/100

Sushi Tetsu

Clerkenwell·$$$

Mackerel (Saba)

£187.00

Bold, oily fish with pronounced flavour, cured to balance the richness.

Tip: The vinegar curing is visible as a slight shine on the fish. This piece demonstrates edomae technique at its core.

Prawn (Ebi)

£187.00

Sweet, tender prawn cooked sous vide then sliced and placed raw on rice.

Tip: The prawn is served cool, not cold. The texture is firmer than raw but still tender — this is intentional technique.
