Japanese in Acton
Helpful Tools
Acton has always attracted newcomers to the Capital. For years it has been a desginated stop-over for Australian and South African backpackers on their European adventures. A more permanant fixture in the area is the thriving Japanese community in London.
When a private Japanese academy located to the site of one Acton's oldest schools, almost overnight sushi bars and Japanese supermarkets sprang up around the local buisinesses and mock-Tudor houses of middle class Hanger Hill. The added bonus of a couple of local golf courses ensured a hole in one for Japan's favourite pastime.
Rekio
Reiko Hashimoto-Lambert was born in Kyoto and moved to Hong Kong once she finished university. Working as an air hostess exposed her to many different cuisines, which influenced her decision to open a Japanese cooking school after moving to London in 1997. Rekio describes her cooking credentials as 'more Delia than Gordon Ramsay'. She teaches everything from everyday Japanese food to complicated fusion dishes. Try her salmon teriyaki and sushi maki.
