Ayakami is truly where tradition meets innovation. Every bite felt like a story — the balance of flavours, textures, and presentation was simply outstanding. I’ve been to many Japanese restaurants in London, but none capture authenticity with such modern elegance.

From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family. The staff’s attention to detail and passion for what they do really shows. They explained each dish with care, making the evening feel intimate and special. Ayakami has become our go-to place for celebrating meaningful moments.

What impressed me most was Ayakami’s dedication to using locally-sourced, sustainable ingredients — and somehow every dish still bursts with authentic Japanese depth. The freshness is undeniable. You can taste the respect they have for the craft and the planet.
