Soseki

It's easy to forget that you're at the foot of the Gherkin when you walk in Soseki's doors. Shoji screens, cedar paneling and tatami mats shield diners from the modern anxieties of the City. Inside, chefs prepare food inspired by the concept kaiseki-kappo, or Japanese haute cuisine. Guests can expect artfully prepared food that adheres to the principle of omakase, where chefs prepare only the very freshest of ingredients at their disposal rather than having a set menu from which guests can choose. This way, the creativity and absolute peak of the chef's culinary abilities are showcased.
