THE CHEF
Bringing his talents to Mayfair from Tokyo’s exclusive Ginza district, Shinji Kanesaka is a master of traditional Edomae sushi’s precise techniques – earning the restaurant its first Michelin star within seven months of opening.
THE CONCEPT
Translated as ‘I’ll leave it up to you’, choosing omakase dining means knowing the very finest delicacies, the most exquisite tastes of the moment, are to be chosen for you by a master in the art.
THE HOST
Sushi Kanesaka proudly presents your host, Nanami-san. In this role, known as okami-san, and trained in the incredible art of the Japanese geisha, Nanami-san brings the traditions of beauty, grace and discipline to Sushi Kanesaka.
THE INTERIOR
Designed by the master, Itai-san, Sushi Kanesaka honours the delicate elegance of this traditional style. The centrepiece is a single carved piece of hinoki wood, lined by a row of bent wood chairs modelled on Wegner’s iconic Wishbone design.
By embracing the spirit of omakase, I’m free to select my ingredients from Japan’s seasonal delights, and deliver something utterly fresh with every slice of my blade.

The House of Suntory x Sushi Kanesaka
For one night only, we’re pairing House of Suntory’s exquisite Yamazaki Mizunara’s whisky with Sushi Kanesaka’s Michelin-starred omakase menu. Discover Japan’s finest flavours right here on Park Lane.
Authentic design
Wooden kumiko panels echo shapes found amongst the landscape in Hyde Park. A nod to tradition lives on in the hinoki ice-chests, first used by sushi chefs in the Edo period and still treasured for their ability to delicately control the temperature of the fish.
Omakase
Relinquishing menu choice adds delicious mystery to the moment. It allows the chef’s pursuit of perfection to create something uniquely personal, it builds the anticipation of each bite, and forges a rare and intimate connection between chef and diner.
Shinji Kanesaka
Shinji Kanesaka’s sushi is made in the Edomae style – its most traditional form, where fish is cured to let the inherent flavours shine, and the delicate umami notes quietly hidden within the flesh be revealed.
Perfect pairings
Sushi Kanesaka serves a rich selection of Japanese whiskies to pair with your meal. These whiskies are all created using techniques handed down through generations, embodying the traditions of a craft that echoes the beliefs behind the work of Chef Kanesaka himself.
Okami-san
The role of okami-san is one embedded in the very core of Japanese hospitality. Known as ‘omotenashi’, this is the fundamental belief in providing hospitality from the heart, full of generosity and without expectation.
PRIVATE DINING
Special occasions
For when only the simply remarkable will do, Sushi Kanesaka offers private dining, seating four diners at their own counter, served by their own private chef. A sublime experience.
Each unique, each with a note of distinction and each with a story to tell, our magnificent restaurants and bars all guarantee you a fabulous time, just the way you want it.
