New Menu to Launch at The Langham London ’ s Celebrated Bar this November

- ARTESIAN -
Artesian has partnered with chef Angelo Sato , of Humble Chicken in Soho , to create an exciting new food menu for The Langham ’ s celebrated bar . Launching on 10 November 2022 , the menu has been inspired by traditional Japanese dishes and ingredients . Angelo has worked incredible depth of flavour into the dishes , pushing the boundaries of conventional bar snacks whilst also retaining the moreish , easy to eat style that is so well suited to bars .
Japanese-born Angelo is best known as chef-owner of Humble Chicken in Soho , a critically acclaimed yakitori-focused izakaya bar that celebrates grilling every part of the bird over charcoal . He is a champion of zero waste cookery and wherever possible uses local , seasonal produce to underpin the sustainable ethos of his menus . In creating the menu for Artesian , he has been inspired by the food of his Japanese heritage , reinventing the dishes and flavours of his home country in a modern and creative way . The use of homemade fermented ingredients such as yuzu kosho , citrus kosho and koji barley will add to the distinctive character of the new menu .
Angelo ’ s sustainable and creative approach to cooking perfectly complements the work of
Artesian ’ s Head Bartender , Giulia Cuccurullo , with cocktails from the bar ’ s Duality list being enhanced by Angelo ’ s fresh and powerful flavours . From the menu , dishes will include Tuna tartare with avocado , tomato ponzu , seaweed chips and shiso ; Buttermilk chicken kara-age , shichimi with spicy miso mayo ; Scotch egg , katsu curry , mayo and nori ; Peking duck bao sliders ; and Mussels , citrus kosho ponzu with onion condiment .
Speaking on his new menu at Artesian , Angelo Sato commented : “ I am really excited to partner with Artesian and create a fresh new take on bar food for one of the best bars in the world ! The menu is inspired by my Japanese heritage , incorporating the likes of shiso , miso , katsu curry and nori . All of the dishes have been designed to complement the Artesian experience – tasty bites to enjoy alongside Giulia Cuccurullo ’ s amazing cocktails .”
Speaking the new collaboration , Michel Roux Jr commented : “ Artesian has long been a playground for innovation ; in cocktails , in service and now , with Angelo Sato of Humble Chicken , in bar snacks . It ’ s a pleasure to welcome Angelo to our line-up of talented chefs and all of the crunchy , salty , spicy flavours and textures he brings with him .”
