This “completely original” two-year-old Japanese restaurant in Marylebone offers “a great and authentic kaiseki experience” with “luxury ingredients and amazing presentation” from chef-patron Daisuke Hayashi, who trained at Kyoto’s famous Kikunoi. The interior, complete with 10-seater counter, was tailor-made in the Sukiya style from 100-year-old hinoki wood in Kyoto and shipped over, which means “being in the dining room is like being transported to Japan”. A la carte dining is also available in the Bo-sen ‘wine and dining room’, where guests relax over a light meal in mid-century European armchairs, with a choice of 500 wines and sakes.

Sitting at the counter, is “like a trip to Japan” – you sample “a stunning 10-course tasting menu: a sublime experience with top-quality ingredients”, where “every dish has a story… and it’s wonderful”. One or two reporters would only say it’s only “good enough” at the “eye-watering prices”, but even so Hayashi looks set to earn the renown here that he failed to garner during his short stint at Tokimeite. Wash down your meal with one of the 70 sakes assembled by former UMU sommelier, Ryosuke Mashio.

Summary

Set to be one of 2021’s more ambitions openings – chef Daisuke Hayashi’s new kaiseki restaurant in Marylebone will draw on his 20 years under Yoshihiro Murata at the three-Michelin-starred Kikunoi Honten in Kyoto (his London CV includes Tokimeite and Chrysan near Broadgate). It will offer a kaiseki-only menu, so the presumption is that you will need to melt your credit card to go...
