Flame-Encircled Delights π₯ Junsei: London's Japanese Yakitori Spot
I recently visited Junsei, a Japanese restaurant in Marylebone, London, and it was a fantastic experience! If you're planning to go, make sure to save this guide! π π’ Yakitori (Grilled Chicken Skewers) β¨ Kawa (Chicken Skin) : The skin is super crispy, with a rich aroma of fat that doesn't feel greasy at all. β¨ Reba (Chicken Liver) : Tender with a slightly creamy texture. β¨ Momo (Chicken Thigh) : Juicy and flavorfulβa safe and delicious choice. β¨ Tsukune (Chicken Meatballs) : Served with raw egg for dipping! What a creative touch! π β¨ Hatsu (Chicken Hearts) : Chewy but not tough, with a subtle iron flavor. β¨ Negima (Chicken Thigh + Green Onion) : A classic combination that's hard to go wrong with. The chicken is juicy, and the green onion adds a nice aroma. β¨ Shiso Maki (Perilla Leaf-Wrapped Chicken) : The perilla leaf gives a delightful herbal aroma. β¨ Tebasaki (Chicken Wings) : The skin is perfectly crispy, and the meat is tender. A must-try for chicken wing lovers! π π² Main Dishes π Miso Chicken Donabe (Miso Chicken Clay Pot Rice) : The rice is infused with rich miso and chicken flavors, and the crispy bottom is incredibly aromatic. Perfect for sharing among 2-3 people. π π Sea Bream Donabe (Sea Bream Clay Pot Rice) : For seafood lovers, the fish is tender, and the rice has that same crispy bottom aroma. π Short Rib Donabe (Beef Short Rib Clay Pot Rice) : The beef is flavorful and tender, though it's a bit pricey, it's definitely worth it! π Braised Ramen (Simmered Ramen) : The noodles are chewy, and the toppings are generous. Enjoy it with a soft-boiled egg! π π₯ Side Dishes β¨ Crispy Brussel Sprouts : The natural bitterness of the sprouts is transformed into a delightful aroma after frying. Highly recommended! π β¨ Grilled Hotate (Grilled Scallops) : Large scallops with a chewy texture and delicious sauce. β¨ Red Mullet Shioyaki (Salt-Grilled Red Mullet) : A must-try for fish lovers. The skin is crispy, and the flesh is tender. β¨ Ume Duck (Plum Duck) : The duck is rich in fat, and the plum sauce cuts through the richness nicely. The portion is small, but the taste is good. β¨ Chicken Nanban (South Barbarian Fried Chicken) : Crispy on the outside, served with a tangy Nanban sauce and mayonnaise. β¨ Tsukemono (Pickled Vegetables) : Mild in flavor, good for cutting through richness, though not the best value. β¨ Dobinmushi (Steamed Soup in a Clay Pot) : A small pot of soup with a few meatballs inside. Each person gets a small cup. π΅ #LondonJunsei #LondonYakitori #Yakitori #YakitoriSkewers #JapaneseYakitori #LondonJapanese #LondonJapaneseRestaurant #RestaurantRecommendation
