Japanophiles looking for a tranquil retreat in the heart of London need look no further than Soseki, located in the shade of the Gherkin tower. In contrast to the contemporary architecture it is surrounded by, this restaurant is a visually hypnotic evocation of a Taisho-period teahouse, and the vintage vibe is exemplified by the 1920s antique furniture, kimono tables, intricate lacquered screens and floral gold ceilings. There is no conventional menu here; instead the chef's will prepare a series of courses based on the best fresh ingredients that day. There is also a sushi bar inside Soseki, and the bar – which features stunning views of the Gherkin – serves a superb variety of wine, sake and beer.
