Sake No Hana

23 St James's St, St. James's, London SW1A 1HA

Designed by Kengo Kuma, Sake No Hana is a shining example of how a contemporary Japanese restaurant should look. Sakura branches mix with urban design and neutral bamboo tones, which set the backdrop to truly excellent food. Feast on sashimi, nigiri and maki served in a crystal box, and wash it down with a violet risshun cocktail scented with cherry blossom. Move on to quail with shichimi pepper and mirin-marinated black cod with yuzu chilli-miso sauce. Finish with delicate fruit jelly, bitter chocolate and sour cherry, with a side of floral-flavoured macarons.
