Japanese Robata Grill Inspired Supper Club – With Japan Society and Jenius Social – Hosted by Silla Bjerrum

Our host for this evening’s supper club is Silla Bjerrum, co-founder in the late 1990s of London’s first sushi delivery service, Feng Sushi. She is also known as an advocate for sustainability in food consumption and production, actively seeking positive solutions. She has become well-known as a sushi specialist, but her passion for good food does not stop at sushi. Her new book Robata: Japanese Home Grilling is published in April.
