Executive Chef Simon Gregory is focusing on sharing platters and small plates in his varied menu. Some of the dishes on offer include spinach and mushroom gyozas with fragrant ginger dashi and black truffle and chilli noodles with glazed Japanese mushrooms, asparagus, cashew nuts and lime.
Those are part of the restaurants veggie and vegan offering, but there will also be barbecue lamb rumps and seafood platters among the options for meat and fish eaters.
Drink-wise, visitors can expect classics such as the Matcha Smash and Beijing Sling, as well as sake wines, and speciality teas. The interior of the restaurant will feature cherry blossom trees, green onyx floorings, colourful wallpapers and antique gold mirrors.
