What Makes Japanese Food World Renowned? (2024)

Japanese Food

Asian cuisine is popular worldwide, but Japanese food arguably comprises the most fabulous flavours of the Far East. Japan has always been famous for its unique approach to gastronomy, combining a world of exotic ingredients and aromatic spices to create truly inspiring dishes.

In addition, Japanese cuisine is known for being as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. Which goes some way to explain why food photography is such a widespread passion in Japan, where even the simplest street food can be a work of art in its own right.

What really makes the difference with Japanese food is the essence of simplicity at the core of the country’s cuisine. Most classic Japanese dishes comprise only a handful of ingredients, allowing the fresh flavours of the main components to shine. But as many of these ingredients are unique to Japanese cuisine and culture, the resulting dish tastes nothing like the food served anywhere else in the world.

Coupled with the notable health benefits of Japanese cuisine and an incredibly diverse menu to explore, the allure and appeal of Japanese food is easy to understand.

All of which we embrace and celebrate here at IRO Sushi, where you’ll find only the most authentic and decadent Japanese delicacies served up in London.

Iro Sushi Greenwich is my go to sushi place. I absolutely love their sushi, to me it’s perfect and the price is really reasonable. Their sushi sets are a steal. That doesn’t seem to have an impact on the quality however, as not once have I had an issue with my order. It’s always perfect, fresh, great portions, tasty, and well presented. I’m a heathen though, their tempura crunchy rolls are my weakness. If you’re looking to try sushi for the first time and a bit weary, I’d definitely recommend their crunchy rolls, and maki.If I could give Iro an 11, I would, but none the less 10/10. Will order from Iro for as long as I live here, this will hopefully be my go to sushi joint for a long time.

Always delicious food and great portions.Updating this for a recent order(Aug 2022). I’ve never had any issues from Iro and have been ordering from them for quite a while. The food we received was fresh and still had great portions.

Really good value for money, I’ve been ordering from here through Just Eat for years. My favourites are the prawn katsu temaki, the salmon and avocado uramaki, and the unbeatable salmon poke bowl. I’ve never had anything bad from here, except not a fan of the crab sushi – it’s a bit tasteless. Everything else is worth it.(Recommendation: all sushi is really good with kewpie mayo. For the poke bowl, you get a very generous amount of salmon, but almost no avocado so I add a cubed avocado of my own. Drizzle on kewpie mayo, dark soy sauce, mix, and perfection.)
