ANGELINA TO OPEN DAI CHI IN SOHO

The team behind ItalianJapanese joint Angelina in Dalston first ventured into Soho with cocktail bar Golden Gai, and now they’re turning it into kushikatsu spot Dai Chi, complete with a 28-cover dining room and six seat counter. Kushikatsu, a speciality from Osaka, is fried skewers of meat, fish and veg and at Dai Chi you’ll be able to eat it omakase style (aka in a tasting menu format).

The £35 set menu will start with two crudo courses followed by the kushikatsu, with skewers including shiso, shiitake & hazelnut; lotus root, goma & black sesame whipped tofu & aged balsamic; scallop, bergamot ponzu & Exmouth caviar; lobster tail & Hokkaido brioche ‘skewered lobster burger’; and lamb neck with ginger, rosemary, soy, harissa & mustard. They’ll be served with tsukemono pickles and chilled miso soup, before the final courses of a Japanese risotto and a dessert. And if you’re feeling a bit flash, there’s an upgraded £58 version of the menu featuring additional premium skewers like A5 wagyu tenderloin & white truffle and deep fried oysters with blackberry & yuzu kosho granita. We’ve had a few yakitori joints like Humble Chicken and Junsei opening in town recently, so perhaps this is the start of the kushikatsu wave.

Opens mid-November 2021
