It seems that everyone is on the rebrand train at the moment, with a lot of big relaunches in London. The latest is in Mayfair and sees omakase restaurant Taku being relaunched as Sushi Amamoto.
That sees the restaurant being taken over by chef Shogo Amamoto, who happens to also hold two Michelin stars for his Sushi Amamoto restaurant in Taipei. But the team that was previously leading Taku will also be heading up the new restaurant, including head chef Jongho Park.
As for what to expect from the new place, it sounds like a similar affair to before, with two omakase offerings at either £180 for 17 coursesor £380 for a whopping 22 courses.
Taku won a Michelin star in 2023 and retained it even in the 2026 awards, although the restaurant listing itself has since been removed. Given it's retained the same chef and team, we'd say this is highly likely to get that star back next year.
