"Japanese tacos at Bar Yoku
You’ll find Bar Yoku at The Welder, which is well worth a visit. The Welder is a collective of cool hospitality and health offerings that frame an open plan communal eating space. The vibe is long tables, hanging chairs and lots of greenery. Bar Yoku is an Izakaya Japanese Bar in the back of the Welder, serving punchy Japanese snacks as well as the best Yakitori in town. My favourite from here is the soft shell crab taco - tempura sheet of nori in the shape of a taco - crammed with rice, crab, micro herbs and kewpie. My other favourites include white fish sashimi, smoked bonito cream, pickled cucumber and shiso!
