The honoured three
Three plates that say
what we cook.
Pick the shorthand: a thirty-year recipe (the Bento), the morning's craft (the Sushi), or the broth we'll never serve from a packet (the Ramen).
二 No. 02
Sushi & Sashimi Set
Hand-cut nigiri and rolled maki, prepared each morning. Plated on the blue-and-white china that has fed Leeds shoppers, lawyers, and lovers for twenty-five years.
三 No. 03
Special Ramen
Home-brewed miso broth simmered slow, ladled over noodles with charred chicken and a soft-yolk egg. The cold-Yorkshire-evening dish.
Three commitments
A kitchen with rules
we don't break.
1
Yorkshire-sourced
The fillet beef drives in from a farm forty-five minutes away — 2-year-old calves, 28-day-matured. The vegetables come from the wholesale market at dawn.
2
Home-brewed
Every sauce, every dressing, every miso-base soup is brewed in-house. No bottle on the shelf has anything in it we did not make.

Family-built
Simon and Rena Gueller hand-built the dining room twenty-five years ago — including the sycamore plank tables Simon spotted in a music shop, intended for cellos.
The room Simon built
Owner-operator
Tables made from cello wood.
"Back in the 90s, I was walking past a music shop that had these beautiful planks of sycamore ready to be crafted into a cello."
Simon and Rena Gueller opened the room in 2000 with eight tables, hand-built from the sycamore Simon spotted in that shop. Within a year they were seating a hundred. Within three weeks of opening, the Yorkshire Evening Post ran them on the front page.
Twenty-five years later, the same family still works the line — and they're planning the generational hand-over to the next.
