Japanese tapas? Okan helped bring the concept to the fore in London and the brand is growing. It isn’t any wonder when the menu brings miso soup, teppanyaki, yakisoba, donburi, and okonomiyaki, a traditional savoury pancake topped with meat or seafood, kimchi, spring onions, pickled ginger, and sauces such as Kewpie mayo and oyster. This is a dish that remains fairly hard to come by in London. It is remarkable, bringing reams of flavour, salt, softness, crispy edges and fat abound — the perfect hangover cure, especially with the addition of a fried egg (do not swerve).
