+81 Sushi Kappo offers an intimate dining experience shaped by Japanese philosophy, precision, craftsmanship, and hospitality.
At the heart of the experience is the rare combination of sushi and kappo dining – a format so uncommon that it scarcely exists even in Japan. Rooted in traditional Japanese technique yet intentionally non-traditional in expression, the omakase evolves continuously through seasonality, creativity, and the finest ingredients available on the day.
Guided by the philosophy of ichigo ichie – “one time, one meeting” – no two dinners are ever exactly the same. A dish may be refined, reinterpreted, or disappear entirely, creating an experience that invites guests to return again and again.
THE EXPERIENCE
Every element of the Sushi Kappo experience is designed to create a sense of presence and ease. The intimate kappo-style counter allows guests to observe the precision and artistry behind each course while engaging directly with the chef. The evening unfolds naturally through timing, conversation, and atmosphere, creating a dining experience that feels immersive, personal, and deeply considered.
Guests may also experience the +81 Prestige Neo Experience – a one-of-a-kind cocktail pairing journey featuring the acclaimed Neo cocktails first introduced at sister venue, Aizome Bar, winner of Bar of the Year 2025. Thoughtfully integrated into the omakase progression, the experience offers a contemporary interpretation of pairing that is unique to +81. A non-alcoholic pairing experience is also available.
OUR APPROACH
The philosophy behind +81 Sushi Kappo is grounded in simplicity, restraint, and care.
Rather than overwhelming the senses, each dish is designed to feel complete through balance, timing, and craftsmanship. Traditional Japanese techniques are used to enhance the natural qualities of ingredients while allowing the menu to evolve in unexpected and expressive ways.
Without relying on gluten, dairy, nuts, or refined sugars, the experience remains refined and considered without compromise. These choices support clarity of flavour and allow guests to remain fully present throughout the progression of the meal.
This philosophy reflects a broader approach to fulfilment – creating experiences that feel memorable, immersive, and quietly lasting long after the evening has ended.
JAPANESE HOSPITALITY
Hospitality at +81 is inspired by omotenashi – the Japanese philosophy of wholehearted, intuitive service.
Attention is given to every detail, often before a need is spoken.
Service is calm, observant, and sincere, allowing guests to feel welcomed in a way that is both effortless and deeply personal.
The result is an atmosphere that feels warm, refined, and unlike anywhere else.
