This contemporary take on Japanese cuisine occupies one of London’s most designer-y restaurant sites – a curved Modernist building next to The Economist in St James’s, accessible via a single escalator and with a bamboo-and-cypress interior by Kango Kuma, the architect who designed Tokyo’s Olympic stadium. While it has never achieved the fame of its siblings in the glitzy Hakkasan group, it continues to win consistently high ratings for its “beautiful” food.

“Beautiful food in a stunning location” – a Modernist building next to The Economist in St James’s – again wins high ratings for this long-running Japanese outfit in the Hakkasan Group. It’s never really made its mark, however, and continues to inspire little feedback, but such as there is brims with enthusiasm nowadays for the “always-great meals”. And if you support sustainability, you’ll want to know that Sake No Hana is, as of September 2019, the first restaurant in the UK to sell fully farmed Bluefin tuna rather than the endangered variety.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
