A Beautiful Balance: Smoked Cornish Mackerel with Sambaizu Jelly

This post was written in September 2024, when the restaurant was TAKU. Since February 2026 it has been Sushi Amamoto.

Our Cornish Mackerel dish is a stunning example of how we balance flavor and presentation. The mackerel is delicately smoked in hay, giving it a subtle smokiness that enhances its natural taste. This rich flavor is perfectly balanced by the acidity of fresh British tomatoes and the tangy sambaizu jelly, a Japanese vinaigrette made from soy sauce, mirin, and vinegar. The combination creates a harmonious blend of smoky and sweet making this dish as beautiful to look at as it is to savour.

This elegant creation is part of our seasonal menu, showcasing our commitment to using fresh, local ingredients and traditional Japanese techniques to craft memorable dining experiences.
