Christmas at Hotori

Weekday lunches, and dinners, in December

A lunch in the week is the Christmas party most City venues don't advertise — at Hotori it is binchotan and Edomae sushi, lunch Monday to Friday. Thursday and Friday evenings usually go first, so tell us your date early. Festive menus — ask us.

An evening to yourselves

The grill in view, the room your own

The dining room at dusk — warm pendant lights, banquette seating and framed chicken paintings along the wall

Beak-to-tail yakitori over Japanese binchotan at one counter, Edomae sushi cut to order at the other, and a single room between them.

Take the room and the evening is built around your table: the kitchen cooks for your party alone, and the counters become part of the room rather than seats for other guests.
