    Lovely chilled out spot just inside from the canal with authentic udon and soba noodles on cold or hot broth. Little play area for kids and outside patio when the sun is shining.

    Perfect place for children: plenty of scaled down furniture, toys, and outdoors space by the canal. The udon noodles with sesame are one of my favourite dishes, Japanese omelette a close second.

    Love this place so much. A little japanese oasis in Haggerston. If you manage to find it, try the matcha or black sesame cheesecake and the corresponding/complementary latte. Lovely pottery too!

    Not sure enough people know about this place, it's authentic Japanese cuisines Just off the canal. I always get the daily special - can't go wrong. They all sell ingredients and condiments

    Quiet little authentic Japanese on the canal. Try the avocado toast with wasabi soy sauce and nori & their black-sesame lattes.

    Lovely spot on Kingsland Basin with an authentic Japanese feel. A bit tough to find though - look for the metal gate!

    A beautiful little cafe with amazing udon and other Japanese treats. The cold udon with sesame dip was a highlights. Order toast and spreads for fun schmere-able treats you weren't expecting.

    Authentic small Japanese place hidden in the Kingsland basin. Try the cold Soba with sesame dip, a very unique dish and difficult to find out of Japan.

    It's worth tracking down this new peaceful Japanese café along the Haggerston canal basin. Great coffee. Try the avacado toast with wasabi soy sauce and nori.

    Definitely a lovely place but make sure to dedicate 1.5 hours if you are planning to have lunch here. They may also run out of some options in the menu before 1pm..

    I found the natto set menu a bit bland, but the matcha cheesecake is worth to live for.

    The sour plum rice ball is fantastic! Also the matcha latte when ordered without sugar is great (otherwise I find it quite sweet).
