From the Editor

Sake no Hana opened at the Moxy Lower East Side in December 2023 — a TAO Group revival of the Hakkasan Group's London Sake no Hana (closed December 2021), trading on brand IP held across the shared parent-company ecosystem connecting the two groups. The room runs as a sushi and modern-Japanese dining program under TAO's corporate culinary team (Ralph Scamardella, Daisuke Kojima, Jeff Hall in the directing lineage); no named day-to-day Executive Chef of public record. Credentials run thin — no Michelin (no star, no Bib, no Selected listing), no NYT review, no Eater Heatmap or Essential — the editorial substance is the brand-revival narrative and the Moxy LES room itself, not kitchen credentialing. The Highlight Room (TAO Group's late-night rooftop in the same Moxy LES building) is the closest peer in the catalog — same operator, same building, same KEEP outcome. For a TAO-Group-corporate revival of a closed Hakkasan-era brand — listed here as Moxy LES room substance, not as kitchen-credential canon.
