In The Room Upstairs at The Oarsman
September 2026
Following a successful residency earlier this year, Dinings SW3 returns to The Room Upstairs this September.
For two weekends, Executive Chef Masaki Sugisaki and his team from the acclaimed Knightsbridge restaurant will once again bring their distinctive Japanese cooking to Marlow.
Guests will be seated together around a shared table and presented with a multi-course omakase menu, chosen by the chef and guided by seasonality. Rooted in traditional Japanese technique and shaped by subtle European influence, the experience is elegant, considered and quietly theatrical.

About Dinings SW3
Approaching its tenth anniversary, Dinings SW3 is one of London’s most respected Japanese restaurants. Located in Knightsbridge, the restaurant offers an izakaya-inspired experience – elegant yet informal – blending long-standing signatures with dishes that evolve weekly with the seasons.
About Masaki Sugisaki
Masaki grew up in Saitama, just north of Tokyo, where his family ran a traditional kaiseki restaurant. After training in Japan and London – including being part of the opening team at Nobu Berkeley Street – he opened Dinings SW3 in 2017. His cooking reflects both heritage and experience: precise, expressive and grounded in sustainability.
