Sushi Kanesaka

Exquisite Edomae Sushi in the Heart of Mayfair

Located inside the luxurious 45 Park Lane hotel in London’s upscale Mayfair district, Sushi Kanesaka offers a refined yet intimate sushi experience just a short ride from London’s top concert venues. Helmed by Michelin-starred chef Shinji Kanesaka from Tokyo, this restaurant is the chef’s first outside Japan and brings the art of traditional Edomae sushi to a sleek, minimalist Omakase setting with just nine seats.

Why Concert-goers love it

For concert-goers looking to make a night of it, Sushi Kanesaka offers a peaceful, elegant escape before the buzz of live music. Though it’s not the spot for a quick bite, its proximity to key West End venues and the intimate, noise-controlled atmosphere make it a top pick for those wanting a luxurious pre-show meal. The focused service and concise Omakase menus mean your experience is timely without feeling rushed.
