Easter Weekend at aqua london

The long break over the Easter weekend is always a great opportunity to take it easy, catch up with friends and family and eat mountains of chocolate without feeling (too) guilty. But you’ll be wanting to get out of the house at some point, so you’ll be pleased to know that we’re open all weekend with a variety of treats to tempt you.

From Friday 18th March until Easter Monday 28th inclusive, we’re serving our exclusive Easterical Easter cocktail in the bar. A delicious blend of dark rum, banana liqueur, white and dark chocolate liqueur and almond milk, it’s all the best bits of a box of chocs in a glass…with a kick!

On Good Friday and Easter Saturday, aqua Kyoto, aqua nueva and aqua spirit are all open as usual (except for a slightly earlier 10.30pm close on Good Friday) serving their regular menus. Then on Easter Sunday and Monday, we’re open from midday through until 10.30pm. Read more +

Celebrate World Sake Day at aqua kyoto

Sake, the elegant fermented rice wine, is a complex and delicious drink whose many varieties are as prized in Japan as Champagne is in France, but less appreciated outside of its native country.

World Sake Day, which occurs annually on 1st October, celebrates sake in all its forms as well as marking the traditional start of the sake production season. To celebrate World Sake Day, all guests joining us for dinner in aqua kyoto on Thursday 1st October will receive a complimentary sake aperitif. Our sommelier Carlo will also be on hand to help guests who would like to explore our comprehensive sake list in choosing one to complement their meal.

Matching sake to wine is a fascinating process; some sakes – the more typical varieties – have an aroma not unlike white wine but a smoother, some say almost nutty flavour. Darker varieties meanwhile have a more complex palate, while umeshu – plum – varieties are sweeter.

Kampai! (Cheers!)

aqua kyoto introduces ‘Food As Art’ menu

The exquisite, precise and colourful presentation of aqua kyoto head chef Paul Greening‘s Japanese cuisine often attracts comparisons with art, but for this new menu Paul has taken the association further, drawing inspiration from three contemporary Japanese artists.

In his ‘Food as Art’ menu Paul references the signature polka dots of Yayoi Kusama, bold, colourful abstracts of Tsuruko Yamazaki and the floral motifs of Ryoko Aoki. Available from 1st September – 30th November, the menu also coincides with FRIEZE Art Fair in October, where all three artists will be exhibited.

So we are excited to introduce Sobremesa Sundays at aqua nueva, offering a menu of Spanish small plates from which you can choose any four along with unlimited cava, all for £55 per person.

Bar Supervisor Simone Rossi named ‘The Mixing Star UK 2015′

For this guest post, Lorenzo Stabile, bar team member in aqua spirit, interviews his colleague Simone Rossi about his recent success in a prestigious international competition.

If you ever wondered how to be inspired to combine flavours for a new cocktail, here is the answer: behind a great cocktail there is always a story that starts its creation. That was the the first step of a journey that allowed Simone Rossi, bar supervisor at aqua spirit, to see his cocktail among the winners of The Mixing Star 2015, a global competition promoted by Italian liqueur company Disaronno.

Moving to London from a little city in Italy, Simone entered the hospitality industry with only a basic knowledge of cocktails but a great passion to develop his skills. A few weeks ago, his passion and determination were rewarded when he was named The Mixing Star UK 2015, one of thirteen worldwide national champions.
