Pop up 1518 — Japanese Seasonal Cuisine at the rice factory LONDON

An intimate Japanese pop-up celebrating rice, fermentation & seasonal flavour—three courses, one soulful evening at the rice factory LONDON Japanese Rice × British Seasonal Ingredients A one-night pop-up by Chef Taka, celebrating the soul of Japanese rice through the lens of the British seasons. About the Chef Taka is a Japanese chef based in London with over 20 years of experience across Japanese, Nordic, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and modern British cooking. His food is rooted in Japanese culinary philosophy — seasonality, balance, fermentation and respect for ingredients — but rather than recreating tradition, Taka brings Japanese technique and flavour together with exceptional British seasonal produce. For this pop-up, Japanese rice takes centre stage: a quiet ingredient, but one that carries the versatility, texture and depth at the heart of Japanese food culture. The Pop-Up A relaxed 3-course dinner built around Japanese rice, where Japanese technique meets locally sourced, seasonal British ingredients. Tomato Panna Cotta — tomato water, white miso, shiso Grilled Fish & Seasonal Rice — dashi, mushroom, ginger, sansho Pear & Amazake — rice koji crumble, yuzu The menu will shift with the best produce available on the day, so each pop-up stays true to both Japanese spirit and the British seasons. An optional sake pairing is also available, carefully matched to each course.
