Step into Shin’Labo and you’ll be greeted with a lavish and luxurious atmosphere, a tantalising tease for the meal ahead

 

The ingredients are undoubtedly premium. Think Japanese melons, truffle, uni, and binchotan-grilled A5 Wagyu. But most attempts at inventiveness—like the hefty oshizushi, braised shiitake mushrooms reminiscent of Chinese banquet meals, and mignardise— are not exactly up to expectations. The beverage menu is extensive and includes a tantalising range of sake.
