"Sushi Amamoto is opening in this week, led by chef Shogo Amamoto, who runs the original Sushi Amamoto in Taipei, which boasts a waiting list of a year and a menu that would bankrupt most people. The 16-seat omakase sushi restaurant is launching in the space once home to Michelin star Japanese restaurant Taku, on Albemarle Street. Taku retained its star in the recent awards."
"Sushi Amamoto will offer two omakase menus; £180 for 17 courses and £380 for 22 courses. Which is the same pricing structure that Taku held, and is a little bit cheaper than the $2,000 a head menu at the original Sushi Amamoto in Taipei, which holds two Michelin stars. The Mayfair opening is Shogo Amamoto's first restaurant outside of Taiwan, where he moved from his native Japan 12 years ago."
Chef Shogo Amamoto is opening a 16-seat omakase sushi counter in Mayfair's former Taku space on Albemarle Street. The new Sushi Amamoto will offer two tasting menus priced at £180 for 17 courses and £380 for 22 courses. The restaurant follows the Taipei original, which has a year-long waiting list and an extremely expensive $2,000 tasting option and holds two Michelin stars. Taku retained its Michelin star and head chef Jongho Park will remain on site while Shogo Amamoto takes an executive chef patron role. The Mayfair location marks Amamoto's first restaurant outside Taiwan; the address is 36 Albemarle Street, W1S 4JE.
