An authentically serene transport to Kyoto offering a hushed, high-end Kaiseki experience at a spectacular hinoki wood counter.
Ordering Strategy
Book the Chef's Table for the full 9-10 course Kaiseki performance; be punctual as it is a choreographed service. There is a strict etiquette (e.g., use the wet towel only for hands).
What to order
Toro Sashimi with Egg Yolk Sauce
The 'star of the show' according to multiple critics; fatty otoro slices are served with an egg-yolk-enriched sauce described as 'liquid gold' that 'melts in the mouth'.
Hassun Course
Presented in a 'handmade jewellery box', this course is a 'cornucopia' of seasonal artistry, featuring intricate bites like 'revelation' miso-marinated avocado and yam shaped like butterflies.
Lamb and Wild Garlic Hot Pot
A 'decadent' and hearty course consisting of a 'miso-rich broth' served with a gas ring to braise raw lamb and wild garlic, finished with a rich truffle sauce.

Good to know
The interior was built in Kyoto and shipped to London. Dinner runs £190+ per person. There is a smaller downstairs area 'Bo-sen' for a la carte, but the main event is the counter.
