The Woodstock Kushiyaki Bar opens its doors bringing the first authentic Japanese Izakaya to the capital.

Located adjacent to Oxford Street, the bar serves an extensive Japanese led drinks menu and freshly grilled Kushiyaki skewers, in a relaxed (unbookable) environment. The concept is based on the pubs and bars found in Japan, acting as a ‘pit-stop’ for a ‘pint and skewer’ before heading home after work.

The menu offers over 20 varieties of freshly prepared skewers and is divided simply into: ‘Kushiyaki’ – grilled skewers served with salt or teriyaki sauce; and ‘Kushiyage’ – fried skewers served with miso and dashi sauce. 

The ground floor is focused on casual drinking with a large slate fronted bar, exposed wooden walls and limited seating, and an open kitchen bringing an element of theatre to the space. Downstairs there is a collection of tables and stools and an additional bar.
