Our Story

Suzume is a shop, bar and tasting space devoted to the world of sake. Born from years of importing sake and working closely with breweries across Japan, we curate an extensive list shaped by direct relationships that span decades.

 

Our menu is written with sake in mind, each dish thoughtfully composed to flatter, lift and gently draw out the character of every glass. You can browse the shop, settle at the bar for small plates, or spend the evening in the restaurant with our team guiding you through thoughtful pairings. While we are not a Japanese restaurant, we explore ingredients and influences from the archipelago, weaving them through a broader culinary lens. 

 

A few doors down from our sister restaurant, The Spärrows, we are separate but connected, much like sisters often are. We also open our doors for private hire and tastings.

 

Above all, Suzume exists to share the depth, craft and diversity of sake in the UK, supporting our brewery partners and helping this remarkable drink find its rightful place at the table. We look forward to welcoming you to our home under the arches.
