Sushi Amamoto London marks the long-awaited arrival of one of Asia’s most revered sushi masters into the heart of Mayfair, as Shogo Amamoto takes over the Michelin-starred Taku site on Albemarle Street. The transition is intentionally seamless: Head Chef Jongho Park and General Manager Manson Au continue to lead the restaurant they helped establish, retaining the calm precision and immaculate service that earned the venue its Michelin star just months after opening.
This is Amamoto’s first international outpost following the extraordinary success of Sushi Amamoto in Taipei, a 12–14 seat counter that became so coveted it evolved into a private members’ restaurant, earning two Michelin stars and gaining a reputation as one of East Asia’s hardest reservations.
Sushi Amamoto is a small, but thoughtful restaurant. Guests are seated at one long English oak counter where they can watch Amamoto's team of dedicated chefs create masterful sushi and sashimi dishes. Elsewhere, minimalist interiors make use of natural materials, from pale woods to neutral stone, to offer a calm and traditional aesthetic. To preserve this calm, loud talking and phone calls are discouraged, and late arrivals are not permitted.
With just 16 covers seated at the counter, the restaurant accepts three sittings each day from Tuesday to Saturday, with the option to choose between a lunch omakase menu, and a signature or prestige omakase menu for dinner. If you’re not familiar with the term omakase, it’s a form of Japanese dining that translates as ‘I’ll leave it up to you’, in which guests pass complete control over to the chef.
With its elite pedigree, deeply disciplined craft and one of London’s most experienced omakase teams at the helm, Sushi Amamoto London enters the city’s fine-dining scene not as a newcomer, but as a fully formed, world-class counter poised to become one of Mayfair’s most compelling culinary destinations.
