Davis Coffer Lyons appointed to find buyer for Soseki

27th July 2010, 12:33pm

Moshi Moshi, Britain's first sushi conveyor belt operator, has put its flagship high-end restaurant Soseki up for sale through leisure property specialist Davis Coffer Lyons.

Soseki has occupied a 2,200 sq ft site on Bury Street underneath the 'Gherkin' since 2008.

Forming part of the Moshi Moshi group, Soseki's menu is inspired by the Japanese concept of 'kaiseki-kappo', translated as 'Japanese haute cuisine in the kitchen', and ordering is done on the 'omakase' principle; instead of a conventional itemised menu, the chefs create different dishes according to what ingredients are available on the day.

The group operates two other sites based on the conveyor belt concept in Liverpool Street and Canary Wharf. Bennett sold the group's fourth site in Brighton last year.

Jonathan Moradoff, who is handling the disposal at DCL, said: "This site is a fantastic opportunity for an operator who would like to debut or strengthen their representation in the City. The site is located right in the heart of the square mile with views of the Gherkin and benefits from City workers' trade throughout the day. 

"Caroline has built up a very strong name in the industry and created an award-winning brand, we're delighted to handle this disposal for her so she can pursue other interests."

Premium and rental offers are invited.
