With so many wedding venues across London, we know it can be hard to find the right place for you. But, if you're a city couple looking for a prime spot within Greenwich with some of the best views in the entire capital, Kawagishi Japanese Restaurant could be the one for you. Based right on the edge of the Thames, this lovely, independent restaurant literally looks out to sights of huge ships sailing by, and the illuminated London skyline, like a scene out of a film.
Inside, you'll find a light, spacious restaurant benefitting from large, floor-to-ceiling windows which flood the rooms with natural light. The decor is neutral and minimalist, perfect as a blank canvas for transforming the place to own tastes and themes for your special day. Decorate with streamers, bunting, balloons and table decor to make the space your own. There are some beautiful interior touches, too, such as an enchanting wall mural which depicts a classical Japanese scene of an elegant crane flying above crashing waves. This unique aesthetic choice could be a real feature in your day, offering a place for photos. Onto the food and the team are happy to work with you on creating a bespoke menu and package to suit your wants and needs.
There's plenty to work with already, though, with an abundance of starters, sushi, tempura and more. Across the menu, some stand out dishes include fried tofu with spring onion pickled ginger nori and dashi sauce, alongside seared tuna with kizami wasabi, daikon crest with ponzu sauce, as well as fried chicken bites marinated in ginger garlic, served with jalapeno sauce. Especially if planning canapes or small bites across tables, these dishes would work really well. For mains, think poke bowls filled with delicious, fresh toppings like salmon teriyaki and black cod miso, or perhaps an array of lightly fried tempura.
