Michelin-starred Japanese chef set to cook in London for the first time
Michelin-starred Japanese chef Taro Noguchi is set to cook in London for the first time, in a collaboration with Leonard Tanyag at LUNA.
Osaka omakase restaurant Noguchi Taro earned a Michelin star in 2011, which it has retained ever since.
And Taro is now set to head to London to take part in LUNA’s first Chefs’ Collection series, for a two-night only four-hands omakase with executive chef Leonard.
Taking place on July 22 and July 23, the exclusive collaboration will unfold at LUNA’s hidden 12-seat chef’s counter, discreetly tucked within Los Mochis London City.
Marking his first-ever appearance in London, chef Taro brings his bold, instinctive and theatrical style of omakase to LUNA for two unforgettable nights.
A self-taught chef, he is known for transforming traditional dining into an emotionally engaging performance where smoke, texture, and playful tension heighten the experience as much as taste.
Guided by the belief that “fun” is the ultimate value in dining, Noguchi crafts menus that evolve daily and spark a sense of wonder with every course. Now, in a rare cross-cultural collaboration, he joins chef Leonard to fuse their creative visions, explore new ingredients and deliver a once-in-a-lifetime omakase experience above the London skyline.
Together, the two chefs will create a bespoke, one-off tasting menu that brings their distinct voices together in a bold, immersive four-hands format.
To complement the experience, guests can elevate their evening with a curated drinks pairing of their choice: a refined sake pairing at £120, a classic wine pairing at £160, or an ultra-premium wine selection at £210.
Set high above the city on the ninth floor of 100 Liverpool Street, LUNA provides the ideal setting for this collaboration; an intimate, 12-seat omakase counter offering uninterrupted skyline views and a deeply considered dining experience.
The 12-course menu shifts with the seasons, each course inspired by a different phase of the moon.
All three sittings are now available to book, with seats extremely limited, but available via this link.
