In fact, <a href=\"http:\/\/ichibuns.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ichibuns<\/a> is the brainchild of Alan Yau (London-based restaurateur who founded Wagamama\u2019s and the genius behind the London restaurants Hakkasan\u00a0and\u00a0Yauatcha, which have each been awarded a\u00a0Michelin\u00a0Star), Robin Leigh (Nobu and Busaba Eathai), Kurt Zdesar (Les Bains Douches and PingPong) and Endo Kazutoshi (Zuma).<\/p>\n<p>So, what\u2019s included within each of the three levels of this rockabilly diner I hear you ask? Well, downstairs you will stumble across a dimly lit basement bar, with a visually stunning wall decorated with Pachinko machines, a take on a pin ball machine often found in American diners. The bar serves up a dangerous array of delicious cocktails, from Smoked Whiskey Negroni\u2019s to Coconut and Chili Mojito\u2019s, all drinks come individually packaged and served in take-away slushy cups to go (perfect if you need to rush off to catch the last tube and need a night-cap en route!). Upstairs, amidst the traditional Japanese sunken tables and lustrous leafy greens, is a bright and atmospheric restaurant area. But the piece de resistance is the restaurants open kitchen on the ground floor where patrons can order their meals to take-away.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/sam7.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46760\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/sam7.jpg?resize=580%2C386\" alt=\"sam7\" width=\"580\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/sam7.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/sam7.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/sam7.jpg?resize=600%2C399&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/sam7.jpg?resize=680%2C452&amp;ssl=1 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the food culture of Hokkaido, Japan\u2019s Northernmost island, the inciting menu provides all with various delicious treats, from pimped-up ramen with Wagyu beef and king crab to Asian-inspired burgers.
