While maki, nigiri and sashimi are familiar parts of the British vocabulary now, it took a while for Brits to fully embrace the traditional Japanese cuisine, but embrace it we have.
Every supermarket now has at least one sushi selection pack as part of its meal deal offering, and grab 'n' go outlets like Wasabi and Itsu can be found across the UK.
People love sushi as it's a healthy choice, incorporating a specific variety of short-grain rice accompanied by different raw or cooked fish and/or vegetables. There are so many varieties and flavours - and when you start adding in hot sides like yakitori, you're really heading for tastebud heaven.
But what about when you want something a bit fancier, a bit more luxurious, more special, a bit more... authentic than the average high street chain?
Then you want to have dinner at one of the best sushi places in London - and there are hundreds, if not thousands, of sushi restaurants out there.
