The list

A name, a way to reach you, and what you want to hear about. We write when there is something to write about, which is not often.

Personal details

What you hear about

Pick what you want to hear about. Leave them all ticked and you get the lot, which is still only one or two notes a season.

By sending this form you agree to be contacted about the restaurant. Never your table, never anything else, and one line to us stops it.

Fields marked * are required.

SHŌTŌ is one room, and it changes

The carte moves with the season, the counter runs nights that do not come back, and the two private rooms fill before they are announced anywhere else.

The list is how you hear first: early word on seasonal menus, omakase seatings at the counter, and the dates worth holding. One or two notes a season, and nothing else.

  • The dining room under the suspended ring of lava stones
  • A sashimi platter on crushed ice, dressed with shiso leaves and edible flowers
  • The sushi counter and the dining room beyond, under the timber lattice
  • Glazed skewers from the robata grill on a stoneware tray, with lime and shichimi
