NIJŪ: The Soul of Japanese Home Cooking in Mayfair

Nestled in an elegant townhouse on Berkeley Street, NIJŪ brings the authentic flavors of Katei Ryōri—traditional Japanese home-style cooking—to the heart of Mayfair. Under the guidance of third-generation sushi master Chef Endo Kazutoshi (of Michelin-starred Endo at the Rotunda), this refined dining destination offers a genuine Japanese experience that balances luxury with comfort.

A Culinary Journey Through Japan

The menu at NIJŪ celebrates the art of sharing, with dishes designed to bring people together around the table. Executive Chef Chris Golding and Head Sushi Chef David Bury expertly craft a selection that spans from meticulously prepared nigiri and sashimi to Konro-grilled house-aged Wagyu beef. The restaurant's commitment to ingredient-led cuisine is evident in every bite, with seasonal produce taking center stage.

Signature Experiences

The sushi counter provides front-row seats to witness the artistry of NIJŪ's sushi masters, while the special charcoal mix of binchotan, briquette, and cherry wood used on their Konro grill creates a uniquely delicious flavor profile for their premium meats. Don't miss their standout dishes like the turbot with furikake and miso butter or the decadent milk chocolate delice with hazelnut ganache and miso caramel ice cream.

Beyond the Dining Room

Complete your experience with a visit to Nipperkin, the intimate cocktail bar hidden beneath the restaurant. Inspired by Japanese listening bars from the 1950s, this cozy space offers expertly crafted cocktails that complement the dining experience perfectly.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking an exceptional meal, NIJŪ delivers a sophisticated yet approachable take on Japanese cuisine that honors tradition while embracing innovation.
