Majestically fronted by a meandering 20 metre-long row of torii gates (and don’t get us started on the colossal Japanese bell hanging over a footbridge in the middle of the dining room), Koma offers a dining experience unlike any other. Known for putting a clever spin on modern Japanese cuisine, Koma’s new set lunch menu boasts the freshest air-flown ingredients, including the impressive bincho sakura chicken and the shiso negroni. Great for a midweek treat, the latter is a stunning spirit-forward take on the classic negroni with a brilliant twist of distilled umeshu and shiso. Fragrant and sexy, the smoky Japanese plum liquor and herb combo lends itself seamlessly to the chicken—a hearty portion of thigh that is perfectly charred over Japanese binchotan.
