This is strictly a set tasting menu (omakase) experience; you must book ahead for one of the specific sittings.

What to order

Safe first

Mussel with Citrus Kosho Ponzu

Universally praised as a 'very tasty' one-bite opener that provides a fresh, acidic start to the 16-course tasting menu.

Hungry

Shokupan with Chicken Liver Parfait

Hailed as 'one of the best' bread courses in London, this house-made milk bread is served with a decadent slab of cultured butter layered with chicken liver parfait and roasted apple mustard.

Wildcard

This Little Piggy

An 'almost-too-cute-to-eat' signature bun shaped like a pig, filled with rich pork trotter and a surprising 'oozing quail egg' yolk.

Wildcard

HFC (Humble Fried Chicken)

A 'real winner' that upgrades classic Japanese karaage using the succulent chicken oyster and finishing it with a luxurious 'healthy dollop of caviar'.

Wildcard

Foie Gras with Persimmon

Described by critics as a 'meaty ice cream sundae,' this creative dish features frozen foie gras shaved over sweet Italian persimmon and crunchy hazelnut brittle.

Good to know

The restaurant pivoted from casual yakitori to fine dining omakase (earning 2 Michelin stars by 2025). Seating is exclusively at the counter. The price point is high (£185+), and the vibe includes a lively soundtrack of Drake and ABBA.
