Tasty Tokiya Sushi!

Just had some delicious take-away sushi from Tokiya Sushi Bar on Battersea Rise.

Was lovely eating it outside in the evening breeze, after working up an appetite cycling over to fetch it!

We (me and my mum)had some Vegetable Gyoza to start off with, which neither of us had tried before. They are very similar to Chinese dumpling (Dim sum kinda-thing) and we'll probably be going back for more!
Then, one of our favourites, which was a grilled aubergine topped with miso soup, and in my opinion is perfection in soft texture and salty/sweet flavours. We sometimes make it at home, but like everything else, it's so much better when you only have to eat it! :)
The spicy-tuna hand rolls (also called temaki) were also bliss, although I did have to wave my hand over my mouth and have a mouthfull of rice afterwards - very spicy indeed!
We also had some sweet prawn (ebi) nigiri (that's a clump of rice with fish on top) which are wonderfully light and refreshing. Salmon and avocado makizushi (nori surrounding rice and fish), a classic, which you can never go wrong with, and prawn tempura rolls which I wasn't sure about because they had mayonaisse in them, but they were surprisingly nice and creamy, which was great.

This little sushi bar doesn't look like much, but it is definitely some of the best sushi in the area, impecably fresh, carefully prepared, friendly and devilishly delicious!
