Soseki

Featured in The Good Food Guide 2011, Soseki showcases Japanese haute cuisine in sleek, dramatic surroundings with a bold sushi bar. Overlooking the Gherkin Plaza, Soseki restaurant is studded with 1920s antiques imported from Tokyo.

Reminiscent of a Taisho-period teahouse, Soseki Aldgate is the City’s hidden Japanese gem, placing a focus on sustainable fishing. Critically acclaimed Soseki London encourages British growers to cultivate Japanese ingredients, and many ingredients are locally sourced.

Dine at the oak counter in the evenings with a bottle of wine, whilst the expert sushi chef conjures up an array of fresh sushi creations. An oasis of tranquil calm in the capital, Soseki features an authentic Japanese lounge bar in a quintessentially English setting.

Seasonal salads sit alongside sumptuous platters of charcuterie or traditional Japanese fare on the Soseki menu. In trendy East London, Soseki is a 10-minute walk from Tower Hill Tube Station.
