The Japanese concept of ‘katei ryōri’ – home-style family dining – is the driving force behind this slick Mayfair operation. Diners are split across two rooms, one more moody and clubby, the other brighter and featuring a small sushi counter. Endo Kazutoshi has designed the menus, which combine the katei ryōri sharing dishes with a sushi selection and Japanese beef cooked over charcoal. Unifying it all is an attention to prime produce, be it the wagyu, the hamachi for the sushi or roasted turbot with furikake and miso butter.
