Tonight / A first look

Three ways into the evening.

A small edit from the live menu. Add a dish now, or open the full list below.

One room · Two disciplines

Close enough to watch every cut. Warm enough to stay for the fire.

Hoshi brings the sushi counter and the binchotan grill into one measured room in St. Georg.

The counter / Kenji Morita

Twenty-two years, measured one cut at a time.

Kenji learned at a sushi bar beside the old Tsukiji market, then ran kitchens in Osaka and Melbourne. At Hoshi he cuts every fish himself, presses the rice by hand and writes the specials board each afternoon from what came in that morning. “The board begins empty. The morning decides what goes on it.”

The grill / Lit daily at 16:00

White oak. Clear heat.

The long grill runs on binchotan. Skewers, wagyu and whole fish go over it to order, brushed with a tare we have topped up since opening day.
The room / 48 seats

A place for watching. A room for disappearing into.

Take one of twelve seats facing the chef, settle into the dark-timber dining room with thirty-six more, or gather fourteen around the single table behind the curtain.
