Japanese Restaurants in London Operating During Lockdown

We already knew our local Japanese restaurants & cafes were gems – but in these ‘strange times’ they have emerged as assets to really treasure. Here’s a round up of Japanese eateries which are currently offering takeaway &/or delivery. Let’s support the hard-hit hospitality industry, if we can. Please note this round-up is done by me, Vanessa, and I can’t be held accountable for errors. I’m just trying to be a helpful human.🍣💕 Get in touch if you know a local Japanese restaurant in London that should be included!
