@Ute - The ice cream was lovely!

@Pavel - Aw, sorry dude. Though I reckon six of those sticks with a beer and edamame for £10 is okay (unless you're choosing the asparagus) since it's equivalent to a quid per stick. Yeah, I guess if it's a promo thing it could have been cheaper.

Twas a bit disappointed if I'm honest, wasn't great value at £10 for a small plate of food. Tasty mind but for a pop up promoting a new resto you'd think it would have been a bit cheaper? Also SIDE WAYS RAIN so we had to run inside at one point :^P

Nice one! Shame that it's open for only such a short time, I fear I won't make it. the ice cream looks so lovely, I adore Japanese sweets.

@Su-Lin - Yes, this is a preview of the real thing set to open next year!

Don't think I'll be able to make it this time but cannot wait till the kushiage restaurant is opened - that's the plan right? Did I understand correctly?

I am relieved you can order a decent amount of skewers. I was worried I'd need to go for dinner afterwards.

2011-08-03T21:41:27.992+01:00

@Pavel - Nice one!

@Alex - It really is a good deal.

I agree re the dearth of cook it yourself - for example, I hoped Abeno would let us cook the okonomiyaki ourselves but sadly not. I'd sign that waiver too!

Gonna have to give this a go! I wasn't convinced 'til I got to the photos of the grub itself, then combined weaknesses for any meat on sticks and anything deep fried kicked in and KO'd any sense of objectivitiy I might have.

Three sticks and a beer (albeit bottled rather than a good solid pint) for a fiver is actually a pretty good deal - certainly in this city!

Booked for Sunday! Win :^)

@Miss Whiplash - Haha, you'd best give your booking to someone else then.

@ThatFoodGuy - Like I said, it's a preview of the permanent restaurant coming next year.

@Lizzie - Heheh, only joshing :)

@Sig@scandilicious - Can't wait for the real thing!

@chasingbawa - Me neither!

Excellent stuff; actually makes me want to go, but sadly off on a long hols in the West Country. You look like a particularly hungry pixie!

Three sticks for a fiver? Am I reading this right - three of those cocktail sticks? Seems horrendously expensivo if so...

I love black sesame ice cream:) And kushikatsu! Can't wait for the restaurant to open.

Lordy, I'm heading down this week! Shame it's only on for 1 week, love Kirin, love fried Japanese food, love amazing sauces in squeezy bottles. Awesome.

Red bean ice cream is totally awesome - as is green (mung) bean. Wish it were more widely available.

2011-08-03T00:38:25.183+01:00

Only for a week?! This place sounds like it would make a killing if it opened for even a little bit longer. I wonder if there'll be anything similar to this at the Fringe in Edinburgh this month...

Srsly? No slightly hot green peppers? Not sure I wanna go any more!
