Umu

London, UK

Authentic Kyoto-style kaiseki (a traditional multi-course Japanese dinner) in the heart of Mayfair. The Japanese 'umu' translates roughly as 'of nature', and the elegant dishes on offer here have been crafted by Yoshinori Ishii to showcase the true nature of the carefully selected ingredients he uses. Look out for the lightly grilled tuna back and belly with three sauces or wild Cornish lobster with homemade shichimi pepper tofu miso bisque on the à la carte menu. Or surrender to Ishii's culinary prowess and go for the kaiseki tasting menu, complete with Northern Irish wild eel kabayaki with elvers from the River Severn.
