We're closing all of our restaurants today so that our teams can enjoy a celebration of their own at our annual KIBOU Awards Party.
A great opportunity to get the whole KIBOU family together, and to recognise all that they do for us.
We'll be back open from Tuesday 10th Sept.
Thanks

In Japan there’s a saying: “Nihonshu wa ryori wo erabanai”, meaning “Sake does not get into fights with food.”
As a drink, Sake is great as an aperitif, but it really comes in to its own when it’s paired with food – especially Japanese food!
Different Sakes can bring out the flavours of different foods to help make your meal even more enjoyable and memorable.
Just ask our team for their recommendations, or why not try one of our Sake flights to find your own favourite.

Signature dish... "a dish that is closely identified with a chef or a restaurant, and stands out as a prime example of that establishment's cuisine."
Think that pretty much sums up our Volcano Roll! 😉
10-piece futomaki roll, filled with salmon, avocado & tobiko, dipped in tempura batter, then deep fried and drizzled with our own special sauces.
There's a reason it's been our best seller since we opened!

Etsu Gin

Etsu means ~Pleasure~ in Japanese. This fabulous drink comes all the way from the Japanese island of Hokkaido.

Citrus, yuzu and light floral blossom notes hit you on the nose with peppers, green tea, meadow berries, more yuzu and sansho pepper on the palate, using water sourced from the Taisetu Mountains.
