Tomoe is a traditional Japanese izakaya style restaurant at 292 Upper Richmond Road in Putney. Its compact and calm dining room is centred on a visible sushi counter, allowing guests to watch the chefs work while enjoying a menu that moves through raw, grilled, fried, simmered and noodle based preparations.
Sushi and sashimi form an important part of the selection, with fresh fish served as nigiri, maki, mixed platters and chirashi over seasoned rice. Salmon, tuna, eel and white fish can be combined with avocado, pickled ginger, wasabi and soy, while seasonal recommendations give regular diners a reason to ask what is freshest that day.
Cooked small plates include edamame, agedashi tofu, aubergine with miso, chicken wings and crisp tempura made with seafood or vegetables. Grilled chicken with yuzu, black cod, sirloin steak and deep fried soft shell crab show the kitchen’s range beyond sushi, balancing savoury sauces with citrus, pickles and grated daikon.
Soba, udon and lunchtime ramen provide warming noodle choices, while bento boxes gather rice, miso soup, pickles and several small dishes into one complete meal. Japanese curry and rice bowls add further comfort, and the sake selection complements the izakaya format for diners who want to share plates over a longer evening.
