Maru London

Omotenashi, which rephrases as “wholeheartedly looking after your guest”, is more than a simple act of service; instead, at MARU, it can be seen as a way of life and deep-rooted culture, with a focus on the spirit of harmony between guest and host. Omotenashi will be the overriding principle of MARU, present across all aspects of the restaurant; with Chef Maruyama managing all parts of the knowledge, from the menu and cooking to the interior design and ceramics, which he handmade himself, to even designing the flower collections. The chefs will be behind the counter, delivering an intimate dining experience and serving all aspects of the meal to their guests, including the drinks, which will also be treated with the same attention to detail and perspectives as employed with the food.
