Malta is a place I knew almost nothing about before going. I had no idea about the big connection between Malta and Hollywood, or that the waters are among the bluest I’ll ever see. I visited for 3 perfect nights at the end of April but left wishing I had stayed for more!

For the average non-Japanese, ordering sake involves just one simple question: hot or cold? Sake is one of my favourite alcoholic drinks, and has been for several years now, so why do I know so little about it?

Key changes include new meat dishes, the introduction of a California roll, and unusual flavour combinations, even by their standards. Despite the quirks and contradictions, combining traditional Japanese methods with more European ingredients, Yashin stand out as one of the best Japanese sushi restaurants in London.

Everyone has one. The best, most memorable dinner of your life. It might change over time. Sometimes the significance fades. Other times it’s simply outdone. Mine happened during my honeymoon in Hawaii at Ginza Onodera Honolulu.
