Ten seats. One lesson.

Attention is the only ingredient we never substitute.

Chef Kenji Mori spent twenty six years in Kanazawa learning one thing: the fish decides. He moved to London to teach it. Every course arrives with a sentence, every sentence earns the next course. You do not order. You attend.

Tonight's nine lessons

The menu changes with the market. The order never does: light to deep, cut to fire to rice.

  1. 01Akami, first lightlean bluefin, brushed nikiri
  2. 02Hirame, the quiet knifeflounder, yuzu salt, three day rest
  3. 03Hotate, patiencehand dived scallop, warm rice
  4. 04Saba, the argumentcured mackerel, pressed kombu
  5. 05Unagi, firecharcoal, tare aged eleven years
  6. 06Chutoro, the rewardmedium fat, cut against the grain
  7. 07Uni, trustHokkaido, no seasoning at all
  8. 08Tamago, the examthe apprentice's egg, judged daily
  9. 09Miso, and what you learnedred miso, the walk home

£180 · two seatings · Tuesday to Saturday · dietary notes at booking, the chef adapts the lesson, never the standard.

Sumi

#17181A · the ink, the room at night

The counter is lit like a stage: everything not the fish falls into sumi.

Washi

#F1EAD9 · the paper, the ground

Menus, cards, walls: warm paper that takes a stamp and holds it.

Hinoki

#B98B57 · the wood, the counter itself

Two hundred year cypress. The only texture the brand ever needs.

The red belongs to the seal. It appears nowhere else, ever. That is the whole rule.

Carried home

What leaves the counter leaves stamped. Four vessels, one seal.

Washi chopstick sleeve
01 The chopstick sleeve. Washi, folded once, stamped once.
Black lacquer takeaway box
02 The box. Lacquer dark, for the six piece lesson to go.
Stoneware sake cup
03 The cup. Stoneware, seal under the glaze, found at the last sip.
Furoshiki gift wrap
04 The furoshiki. Cloth for the gift box, knotted the Kanazawa way.

Seats for September open on the first of August, at noon.

Ten seats, two seatings, five nights. The list fills in minutes: the lesson begins with showing up on time.
