Luna Omakase to open new London site in March

The team behind Los Mochis and Juno Omakase is set to open Luna Omakase, an exclusive 12-seat restaurant set within Los Mochis London City in March.

At the helm is executive head chef Leonard Tanyag, who with his 20 years of experience and international expertise will bring a “refined and personal” approach to traditional omakase dining, a style that means “I’ll leave it up to you”.

Distinct from its sister restaurant, Luna Omakase will present Sosaku-style Edomae Omakase, a modern interpretation of traditional Edomae sushi, which originated in Tokyo during the Edo period.

At Luna, the 12-course daily changing tasting menu will highlight seasonal ingredients and sustainable seafood, shaped by Tanyag’s extensive expertise.

The experience will begin with a welcome drink, followed by “mellow” bites building to “umami-rich” dishes over the course of the evening.

Each course can be paired with sake, wine, or cocktails, culminating in a traditional tea ceremony.

Situated on the ninth floor, the restaurant’s design has been curated with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame views of St Paul’s Cathedral and the London skyline.

The new site will also feature ambient lighting, artwork by Oms Rocha, a series of 12 circular paintings symbolising the moon’s perpetual cycle, a wooden dining counter, and a sculptural hanging shelf displaying artisanal glassware and sake bottles.

Luna Omakase is the newest addition to the Thesleff Group’s portfolio which includes Los Mochis, Juno Omakase, Sale e Pepe and Viajante87.

Markus Thesleff, founder and CEO, said: “For Luna, we set out to create a fresh take on omakase, one that feels both familiar and unexpected. While Juno uniquely blends Mexican and Japanese cuisine, Luna has its own identity, rooted in tradition but seen through a modern lens.

“Drawing from Edomae sushi, we take a Sosaku-style approach, combining time-honoured techniques with Leo’s creative flair. Each dish centres around a key ingredient that is reimagined, bringing out new contrasts and depths of flavour. Our menu reflects our journeys, travels, and memories which are always evolving, always inspired, and, most of all, meant to be enjoyed.”

Tanyag added: “Markus and I share a love for food that is both bold in flavour and texture. With Luna, we wanted to bring a new kind of omakase experience to London, one that honours Japanese tradition whilst embracing innovation. Every dish on the menu is deeply personal to me, each one inspired by a memory, experience, or emotion, that I hope will resonate with our diners.”

With only 12 seats available each evening at each of the two sittings at 6pm and 8.30pm, Luna is set to be one of the most coveted dining experiences in
the city, told through flavours and storytelling.

The 12-course Luna Omakase experience is priced at £295 and includes a welcome drink. Drink pairings are available starting from £190 for sake and classic wines, with premium wine pairings offered at £295.
