Tokimeite is the Japanese phrase for the feeling of excitement and anticipation. This new restaurant on the site of the former Sakura on Conduit Street is the latest UK venture for 7 Michelin Star Chef Murata.

Created by acclaimed Japanese design practice Glamorous, Tokimeitē is set over three levels, with each space characterised by a unique design aesthetic inspired by the traditions of Japanese crafts and festivals. The basement level features a Chef's Table room with direct visual access to the working kitchen.

Tokimeitē’s elegant yet informal environment invites guests to dine according to their mood or occasion, from a casual get-together with friends over drinks and sharing plates, to a private dinner with specially selected course dishes. An extensive range of premium sake, shochu and whiskies is also offered to complement the cuisine.
