Sushi Chef de Partie MA/NA Location: 30 Upper Grosvenor Street, Mayfair About MA/NA Opening in early 2026 on Upper Grosvenor Street, MA/NA is born from the Japanese philosophy that every ingredient carries an invisible power, a life-force shaped by nature and the hands that honour it. Mana is the spiritual energy beneath the surface of all things felt rather than seen transforming emotion into experience, and a meal into memory. Guided by this belief, MA/NA will offer a seamless blend of restaurant and bar, refined Japanese cuisine alongside an exceptional cocktail, wine and sake list. Cocktails flow into dinner, and dinner naturally returns to drinks. Every element of MA/NA, from design and service to sound and light, is intentional.
