Kaiseki Cuisine
at Roketsu

Roketsu is the only authentic Kyoto-style Kaiseki restaurant in London. Our philosophy is rooted in promoting genuine Japanese cuisine to the world, and this spirit guides our decisions and choices. We are committed to "Elegance and beauty above all. Subtle, yet strong."

The interior of Roketsu reflects our deep respect for tradition. The restaurant was constructed using materials crafted in Kyoto by the renowned architect Nakamura Sotoji Komuten, a globally recognised master of the Sukiya-style of architecture.

Each day, we present our guests with seasonal ingredients in their most exquisite form. We focus on the visual appeal, taste, aroma, and texture of our dishes, ensuring that our guests experience a delicate and artistic culinary world.

Our Stunning Single-Slab Counter

On the ground floor of our restaurant, we welcome you at a unique counter made from a rare hinoki wood slab, more than 7 meters long and over 300 years old, preserved in Kyoto for over a century.
