About
Tosa is a genuinely Japanese-operated izakaya on King Street in Hammersmith, one of West London's most beloved local Japanese restaurants. The Japanese chef-owner — who spent fourteen years at a prominent London Japanese restaurant before striking out independently, alongside his Japanese wife — brings deep expertise to a menu built around the robata grill: wood-fired skewers of meats, seafood, and vegetables cooked over charcoal to order. Sushi and sashimi prepared at a dedicated counter round out the offering. The restaurant has a loyal local following and a warm, unpretentious neighbourhood atmosphere. A second branch exists at 152 High Road, East Finchley.
