Harrods already has a range of fantastic eateries on-site and soon it's getting another. The famous department store is now partnering with renowned Japanese chef Masayoshi 'Masa' Takayama to open Masa inside the building. This follows a number of collaborations with top chefs, most recently opening Studio Frantzén with Swedish cooking star Björn Frantzén.
Although this is the first UK opening for Takayama, he’s well-established in the US. There he operates several restaurants, including the first Masa location in New York, which holds three Michelin stars. The New York restaurant is known for high-end sushi and omakase, the Japanese tradition of leaving things up to the chef. Food is served in a minimalist space with seasonal plants, with the idea that this allows the food to truly shine and be an experience.
Further details about the London Masa restaurant are yet to be released. More information is expected to become available later on this year so keep your eyes peeled if you’re a fan of Japanese cuisine.
