High Street Japanese clothing.

Cheap and cheerful but decent quality food. The bento boxes at lunch are a good deal.

Books and magazines in Japanese and a small selection in English.

Japanese vegan food. This is the place to bring veggie and vegan friends AND still have a good meal.

For Japanese fast-food on the go. Quality is so-so. The tai-yaki are baked fresh in front of you and are a good buy.

More rock and roll Japanese food. High end, not cheap and buzzing.

For all your Japanese confectionary needs. Lovely jelly candies and mochi. Let the lovely staff advise you if you're wondering what to buy.

For the super-super trendy. Clothes. I'm scared to go in, but it is proper Japanese.

Japanese stationery, clothing, furniture and housewares. Multiple shops in London, this is my favourite.

A modern and western style of ramen, rock and roll baby!

Okonomiyaki is part-omelette, part-pancake and 100% delicious! There's two restaurants: this one and one on Museum Street. Recommended!

For all your manga and kawaii toy needs. Based in a touristy, trashy mall just off Piccadilly Circus, don't let that put you off.

Lovely ramen restaurant smack in the middle of London. My favourite is the Karaka TanTan Noodles. Also have a restaurant on Lower Regent Street.

Lovely Udon restaurant, where noodles are made on site. Keep an eye out for the specials.

THE place to get Japanese groceries in central London. Also has takeaway food. My favourites: melon pan pastries.
