Welcome back Endo-San @kazutoshi.endo 🍣

Probably one of the most anticipated re-openings of the year. Endo at the Rotunda is back and better than ever, with a refreshed dining room and even more creativity worked into the omakase. 20 courses, 10 seats and 1-Michelin star (for now). Great to back here. There’s nothing quite like it in London. As the lift opens, you walk into the most amazing space. Panoramic views, that incredible ceiling installation, the omakase counter on the left and a new matcha area on the right. As before, it all starts with Endo-san’s business card: binchotan-kissed nori, sushi rice, wasabi, Cornish otoro, soy and caviar. There are few things more enjoyable than starting the evening with a bite like this. Loved the Japanese yellowtail with monkfish liver and caviar - an incredible combination of flavours and texture - this was one of my favourites from the night. Yellowtail had some bite, liver was like uni in texture, creamy but with lots more umami. The scallop nigiri was buttery smooth too, but it was the chopped oyster nigiri that really did it for me, just insane. In total, around 20 courses with plenty of complex nigiri and a variety of intricate small plates. The finale was the A4 Wagyu from Miyazaki. Cooked to perfection over binchotan. Buttery, beefy and served with a duo of sauces - the yaki sauce was so rich and delicious. The fig and umeshu cocktail was crazy too - bitter sweet and well balanced. For me this is the best omakase in London. Every detail and each part of the evening is so carefully thought out. Food, ambience, service - nothing falls short. #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️
