Endo Kazutoshi, the sushi master who studied under Tokyo's Jiro Ono, will open a new restaurant and listening bar in Chelsea this autumn, the Standard can reveal.
New Venue Details
The 10-seat omakase experience will be in a two-storey Chelsea townhouse, with a listening bar called Moga upstairs and dining on the ground floor. Endo says he will root his sushi more steadfastly in tradition and culture, inspired by Tokyo in the 1920s.
Personal Connection
The intimate venue pays homage to his grandfather, who once owned a restaurant in Yokohama, where Endo learned the basics. “I often ask myself what responsibility I have to carry on the traditions and culture of Japan in my work,” Endo says. “This is the next chapter. Behind every piece of sushi is the work of many hands — those who catch fish, grow the rice, and create the objects to serve it. This is a story I wish to tell.”
Endo previously had a residency at Annabel's after his White City restaurant closed due to a fire. He will open in the autumn; more information is available at endo-chelsea.com.
