An array of Japanese food presented in small dishes, seen from above on a narrow wooden table.

Shokunin

  • Restaurant

Shokunin is the Japanese word for a master of their craft.

Shokunin brings together the relaxed spirit of a Japanese izakaya with the refined technique and personalised approach of kappo dining. A place of small plates, good drinks and even better company, devoted to making every visit exceptional.

That means seriously good Japanese food, warm hospitality and the freedom to experience the restaurant your way, whether that’s stopping in for a drink and a few plates or settling in to share more of the menu.
