Yashin Sushi

"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

"Mixed sushi sets, spicy tuna rolls, and salmon ikura donburi. Those are just some of the dishes you can now collect from this high-end Japanese restaurant in South Kensington. You can find their takeaway menu on their Instagram and call 020 7938 1536 to order." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"From £45 (lunch) and £92 (dinner) per person 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. Don’t question the unconventional toppings, just go with it. The counter-seating experience is undeniably Kensington glamorous, but you don’t necessarily have to spend big to experience their unique sushi hat inventions—the 11-piece lunchtime omakase nigiri set is £45." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley

"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 is serving some 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

"Mixed sushi sets, spicy tuna rolls, yellowtail carpaccio, and salmon ikura donburi. Those are just some of the dishes you can now collect from Yashin, a high-end Japanese spot in South Kensington that we rate very highly. You can also pick up their creative sushi boxes daily from The Notting Hill Fish Shop." - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
