What it does

London has hundreds of Japanese restaurants — but finding the ones that feel genuinely Japanese takes time. Mekiki is an independent guide built by Japanese Londoner. Browse 100+ carefully selected restaurants across London, filtered by area, cuisine, meal type, price, and Google rating from Michelin-listed omakase to neighbourhood ramen. Bilingual in English and Japanese. Updated regularly. Unlike algorithm-driven review sites, every listing is curated by someone who actually knows the food.

Japanese food in London, curated by Japanese Londoners. Discover authentic Japanese restaurants across the city — from ramen and sushi to izakaya and wagashi.

No ads, no rankings — just the places Japanese Londoners trust. Also runs Youtori , a Japanese supper club in Shoreditch. One of London's finest kaiseki restaurants, serving traditional Kyoto cuisine with exceptional seasonal ingredients. One Michelin star. Intimate omakase in the heart of Mayfair. Chef Maruyama uses classical training to create a seasonally changing menu focused on Ikejime fish from Scottish and Cornish waters. Formerly Jugemu, now Nanahoshi — a 20-seat izakaya in a Soho alley by chef Yuya Kikuchi. Small plates, natural wine, and a deeply Japanese atmosphere transplanted from Tokyo. The original Koya — the restaurant that put handmade udon on London's map. Sanuki-style…from mekiki.co.uk

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
