Kirazu is a restaurant with a message. And much of that message has to do with...uh...beans. "The beans are high in protein and low calories. The lowest percentage of obesity in developed countries." Kirazu is something like health-conscious Japanese tapas, which sounds significantly less delicious than its gorgeous creations turn out to be. Stationed perfectly on the borner between Soho and Leicester Square, Kanagawa-born Head Chef Yuya Kikuchi has curated preparations of sauteed lotus root, roasted duck, seaweed salad, even miso ramen in tapas-sized arrangements which make for an ideal, and very unique, night out among Leicester Square's most conventional, perhaps tourist-minded shopfronts.
