Japanika's aim formed 5 years ago by it's two co-founders, who's taste buds loved nothing more than authentic Japanese flavours. This was easily found in London with the many small authentic and top class restaurant offerings that this amazing city has. The problem came when we wanted to enjoy the same experience during our daily lunch breaks, we simply couldn't find the food that we would find at restaurants in the evening. The next 13 months was spent researching and learning. The best Japanese chefs were brought in to consult, this even involved a few airline tickets. From the fish to finding the best sushi rich grains, 'Haruka' of course, and right down to sourcing the sharpest knives and the tools needed to keep them that way. Each dish was designed and crafted with this fantastic array of what we referred to at the time as the ''Japanese Kitchen Masters''.
