Roketsu Restaurant London by Daisuke Hayashi Will Serve Kaiseki | Eater London

"Opening this November at 12 New Quebec Street, a new kaiseki restaurant from chef Daisuke Hayashi draws on two decades of training under Yoshihiro Murata and a short London preview in early 2020. Split across two floors, the venue includes a dedicated area where guests can witness and engage in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, with interiors by the family business of the late Sotoji Nakamura, noted for authentic Japanese tea rooms. The restaurant will offer a strict kaiseki-only multi-course menu rather than an à la carte option; critics have hailed the concept’s promise while warning that London’s appetite for kaiseki and the likely eye-watering prices remain to be seen. During pandemic closures the team also circulated serene, luxurious £50 bento boxes around the city." - James Hansen
