Kirin Ichiban, Japan’s Prime Brew is delighted to announce the launch of their “pop-up” Yatai restaurant in conjunction with the head chefs of London’s Japanese restaurant Yashin sushi & bar and their exciting Kushiage style restaurant set to launch in 2012.

The Kirin Ichiban Yatai will “pop up” for one week only,  August  3rd - 8th on Brick Lane (next to Big Chill bar) and will serve up a selection of quality, traditional KUSHIAGE dishes which are relatively unknown in the UK; delicious Japanese deep -fried skewer delicacies which will be available with a bottle of crisp Kirin beer  for around just £5, bringing affordable quality food and drink to the streets, plus the restaurant will also show short films on screens and tablets.  Diners will be able to vote for their favourite short film from a shortlist of four that will be shown at the BFI film festival in October.

Yasuhiro Mineno(ex head chef of Nobu)and Shinya Ikeda, joint owners and Head Chef of Yashin sushi & bar and founders of yet to be opened Kushiage style restaurant in Central London in early 2012 have worked carefully with Kirin Ichiban to create a mouth-watering market style menu offering Londoners some authentic flavours and delights from their Japanese street menu.

Customers can choose from a selection of three delicious Kushiage deep-fried skewer dishes served on bamboo sticks and a bottle of beer for around five pounds.  Food and drink enthusiasts can choose from over ten mouth-watering combinations including; pork with Japanese Worcester sauce, marinated lamb with saikyo miso, asparagus with sea salt and lemon, pickled tomato and slightly hot green pepper with lemon to name a few.   New combinations will be added to the menu daily.
