What: Endo Kazutoshi is a third-generation sushi master who spent years training in Japanese kitchens in Tokyo, as well as working as the executive chef at global Japanese restaurant Zuma, before finally opening Endo at The Rotunda in 2019. Within the first six months of opening, it won a Michelin star, proof in itself of his stratospheric skill. Y...
What: Sushi Kanesaka made big waves when it arrived at 45 Park Lane toting a £420 omakase menu from one of the world’s most notable sushi masters. Shinji Kanesaka is joined by some of the most experienced of his two Michelin-starred Tokyo team, and though blisteringly expensive, you’ll struggle to find better fish anywhere in London. Where: 45 Park...
What: Unlike most omakase in London, Mayha is not a Japanese import. Rather, the restaurant arrived from Lebanon, where it was displaced by the catastrophic Beirut explosion of 2020. This 11-seater chef’s counter is right at home in Marylebone, where chefs Yuichi Nakaya and Jurek Wasio turn out very thoughtful, seasonal Japanese dishes and some bol...
What: A sister site to the excellent Taku in Mayfair, INÉ is a little more flexible than its Michelin-starred sibling, offering an a la carte and a takeaway bento box as well as an omakase experience. The latter is similar to Taku in length and style, set along a beautiful, minimal wooden counter - expect 17 courses of immaculate sushi and seasonal...
What: Husband and wife chef team Tamas and Tomoko are the brains behind this intimate wood counter experience in Mayfair. There are only 10 seats on offer, and while the menu changes daily in line with what the chef chooses to prepare, you can expect a sushi selection to be included, as well as the likes of squid with quince ponzu jelly, and Jerusa...
What: Third-generation sushi chef Taiji Maruyama has spent time perfecting his trade at the likes of three Michelin-starred Ginza in Tokyo, and global Japanese restaurant NOBU. Maru is all about celebrating the style of omotenashi, which translates as ‘wholeheartedly looking after your guest’. In practice, this sees Maruyama involved in every part ...
What: Making its mark on London's omakase scene with a totally unique offering is izakaya-inspired The Aubrey at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park. Here, guests can indulge in an omakase cocktail experience, which follows the same 'I'll leave it up to you' principles as a traditional menu - but swaps food for drinks! The two-hour experience is served at ...
What: There’s no getting away from the fact that The Araki is pricey – we're talking £310 per head. But then we are in Mayfair, and this is probably one of the best examples of omakase dining in London. There is only one menu and it revolves entirely around sushi, with head chef Mitsuhiro Araki bringing his experience from time spent at his three-M...
What: Engawa serves either a three or five-course omakase menu for £75 and £95 respectively. This begins with a daily selection of appetisers and 11 assorted sashimi, followed by a chef’s special (you'll have to find out what’s on offer on the day), a main course and a dessert, if you opt for the longer menu. Specialising in high-grade Kobe beef, w...
What: Takuya Watanabe (Taku) is the founder and chef patron of Michelin-starred Jin Paris, although fortunately for us he decided to make the trip across the channel to open this Edomae omakase in Mayfair. The dining room is a serene oasis of pale woods and natural stone, setting the tone for a meal of pure artistry. Omakase is served for lunch and...
