"Post-Covid, it felt like Japanese spots, especially the higher-end ones, were having a tough time: moneyed travellers switched from London to other cities and the non-dom status changes cleared out a lot of "residents". But now it looks like the tide is turning, with hand roll spots popping up across the city and a new izakaya announced this week too. Sushi Amamoto London sits at the sharper end of that wave, built around an omakase where each piece is treated as a complete dish."
"Amamoto's original Sushi Amamoto opened in Taipei's Da'an district in 2015, with just 14 seats and a reputation for being a tough reservation. It debuted in the Michelin Guide in 2019 and immediately earned two stars, before landing on the World's 50 Best Discovery list in 2022. In London, the idea is continuity rather than reinvention, keeping the same core approach while responding to Britain's seasons and the best local ingredients."
Sushi Amamoto London has relaunched in Mayfair at 36 Albemarle Street, bringing Shogo Amamoto's Edomae style to the city as his first venture outside Taiwan. The counter retains head chef Jongho Park and general manager Manason Au, preserving the team that opened in 2022 and earned one Michelin star within four months. The omakase treats each piece as a complete dish and adapts to Britain's seasons and local ingredients. Menus mirror previous pricing: £180 for a 17-course lunch and £380 for a 22-course prestige omakase, with a £320 sommelier pairing available.
