9/11/22 - updated with a look at the design and opening details
As sure a sign as we know that the City is getting back on the front foot is news of a swanky new sushi spot opening in that part of town. Shiro will be the Aqua Group's fifth restaurant in London - they already have high-rise restaurants Aqua Shard, Hutong (both at The Shard), Aqua Kyoto and Aqua Nueva (on Regent Street).
The London outpost is in the newly redone development at 100 Liverpool Street. The two-floored restaurant will feature a sushi counter and robata counter along with an outdoor terrace.
The opening in London follows Shiro's success in Hong Kong where the restaurant made quite a name for itself with its crystal sushi. That's an innovation from the chefs that saw them drape intensely flavoured jelly layers over their sushi rolls. It's a neat touch that not only apparently tastes great, but looks good on an Insta feed too. And that never hurts.
And in the London restaurant, they're looking to introduce lunchtime sets, their own take on bento boxes. So that'll probably be popular with city folk.
“Shiro in Broadgate Circle will be our first Shiro in the UK," the group's founder David Yeo told Hot Dinners. "We are delighted to be bringing this hugely popular hip contemporary Japanese dining from its home in Hong Kong.”
