"Looking a bit like molecules, the sweet corn appetiser is a favourite of both of ours. The corn is sweet and juicy with crunchy bits of batter which prompt us to wonder how it is made. It is served with a green tea salt which packs a salty punch as it is very fine so go easy on it but it adds a salty contrast to the corn's inherent sweetness."

"The tempura batter was a bit thicker but still maintained its crispiness, while the shrimp and scallops were fresh and had a lovely natural sweetness. Now, this was a proper bowl of comfort food that I would happily eat every week."

"This is a must-try/order item! You wouldn't think it to be anything special when you're looking at the description of it on the menu but when you try it, you'll be absolutely mind blown at how you can make such an amazing dish with very simple ingredients."
