To welcome the return of dinner, Censu is debuting new dinner specials that draw on chef Shun Sato's culture-spanning ethos. New starters include sawara (Spanish mackerel) sous-vide with fresh coriander and miso, Censu beef tartare with Arima sansho dressing atop perfect rectagles of toasted Hokkaido milk bread, and bamboo tempura interspersed with ika squid mousse and served with ebi fishcake in kombu dashi. Meanwhile, larger dishes better demonstrate Censu's new global influences in the likes of flathead lobster kataifi, which takes inspiration from the Middle Eastern dessert; and the three-yellow chicken paella, a cross between Hainan chicken rice and Spanish paella.
