Nanashi (Shoreditch)

• Tuna tartar was beautiful with its pink and green theme
• Some shards of deep fried rice paper sprinkled with beetroot powder added crunch and color
• Salmon sushi burger were two little cakes of compressed deep fried rice which formed a bun
• Firm chunks of peeled chargrilled aubergine dribbled with a sweet miso sauce and scattered with almond flakes toasted to quite an aggressive shade of brown
• The slightly bitter edge was a lovely contrast with the sweetness of the sauce
• The only dish that wasn't great was the tempura soba
• I prefer this dish served with the tempura on the side for dipping into the broth and noodles
• Mirin and soy was a little dull
• I would have preferred a classic dashi with bonito flakes
• Will give the soups a miss next time because our server told us they are all made with the same vegetarian broth
