A group of ten lucky Qype reviewers (see below) were treated to a wonderful evening of sushi-making, cocktail-sipping and a chance to learn the secrets of successful barbecuing on the terrace of Feng Sushi's South Bank restaurant. Feng’s co-founder, Silla Bjerrum, was there to ensure that everyone had a good time and also answer questions from guests about the company’s ethical ethos of serving seasonal and sustainable food.

There were queues around the block again at Olympia on Sunday the 24th of July – the final day of 2011’s Hyper Japan event. If you didn’t make it, here’s what you missed out on. The venue was packed every day, with many people dressed in beautiful, traditional kimonos or famous manga characters, and for those that didn't made the effort, there were opportunities to dress up as a geisha or a samurai warrior and have their photo taken. There were also stage performances from comedians, musicians, and kabuki players, stalls selling magazines, books, films and games, and, of course plenty of tastings of saké, yakitori and sushi, which is where Feng Sushi comes in.
