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

Safe first

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'.

Wildcard

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.

Hungry

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.

What to skip

Skip
Beetroot Tofu and Sea UrchinDescribed as having a texture 'redolent of ectoplasm', critics warn this specific starter is 'not for the faint-hearted'.

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.
