I went for the Nambu Special dinner (&pound;36). First to arrive was a set of four nigiri; tuna, salmon, squid, and cooked prawn <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/rjw1/4711430198/in/set-72157624176724441/ photo]</small>. The quality was very good, though I felt the selection of fish was a bit uninteresting. Next was a very tasty seafood and mushroom soup served in a teapot <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/rjw1/4711430472/in/set-72157624176724441/ lid-on photo]</small>, <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/rjw1/4710789299/in/set-72157624176724441/ lid-off photo]</small>, <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/rjw1/4711430688/in/set-72157624176724441/ photo after pouring]</small>, followed by tempura <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/rjw1/4710789543/in/set-72157624176724441/ photo]</small>; this was very well executed, though the batter could have been slightly lighter. The final savoury course was skewers of seafood served on a bed of beansprouts, with miso soup and rice on the side <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/rjw1/4711431410/in/set-72157624176724441/ photo]</small>. The skewers consisted of squid, prawn, a delicately cooked scallop, and some salmon. The meal was finished off with a plate of fruit consisting of two orange segments and some honeydew melon. Green tea was free and regularly topped up.

Japanese restaurant near Baker Street Station.

It's not large, seating 36 at tables and possibly another 5 at the sushi bar. The menu is quite extensive and has a two-page Japanese-only section.

bob visited on a Thursday evening in June 2010. There were a few customers already in when I arrived at 9pm, and a few more arrived while I was there.
