I've been to Imamura 3 times and each time enjoyed fantastic food. They have a great sushi menu and in addition some set meals including an omakaze. Food is fresh, and cooking style is traditional Japanese without any HK adaptation. Service however is extremely slow. A dining experience may take 2 hours on average.

比起年幾前我重比好高評價呢間食店,可以話起香港數一數二,昨天再光顧以為可以再一回味,點知已經吾同唒。再叫番個自選壽司餐,點知海膽同帶子吾太新鮮。整體失望而回。只係個甜品豆腐雪糕配紅豆我係滿意的。比得咁貴一個午餐,希望佢地可以改善一下d食物質素。環境一般

午市想食壽司, 又沒有訂檯, 友人介紹下, 來到今村.不用等位, 環境頗靜… 心想, 應該是高級的壽司店.聽友人講述, 原來早前午市都是爆滿的, 現今則冷冷清清.. 是質素下降? 還是經濟不好? 管它的! 一心想食壽司的我, 已一個箭步入內…午市套餐也有很多選擇, 我們三人都選擇「十件自選壽司」,套餐有麵豉湯, 有蒸蛋, 有甜品.蒸蛋很有心機, 內有乾坤! 讚! 壽司, 一定是全部手握的啦! 食材也很新鮮, 特別是吞拿魚腩! (p.s. 同一款壽司不能重複的order)很肥美, 不欺場. 單是食吞拿魚腩和池魚已經值回票價了! 師傅已在壽司內加入適量的wasabi, 很正宗! 服務也不錯, 侍應不停的加茶!整體而言, 花$180享受一個午餐是挺奢侈的, 不過可以一嚐美味的壽司, 就管不了那麼多!

午市想食壽司, 又沒有訂檯, 友人介紹下, 來到今村.
不用等位, 環境頗靜… 心想, 應該是高級的壽司店.
聽友人講述, 原來早前午市都是爆滿的, 現今則冷冷清清.. 是質素下降? 還是經濟不好?

管它的! 一心想食壽司的我, 已一個箭步入內…

午市套餐也有很多選擇, 我們三人都選擇「十件自選壽司」,
套餐有麵豉湯, 有蒸蛋, 有甜品.

蒸蛋很有心機, 內有乾坤! 讚!

壽司, 一定是全部手握的啦! 食材也很新鮮, 特別是吞拿魚腩! (p.s. 同一款壽司不能重複的order)
很肥美, 不欺場. 單是食吞拿魚腩和池魚已經值回票價了! 師傅已在壽司內加入適量的wasabi, 很正宗!


服務也不錯, 侍應不停的加茶!


整體而言, 花$180享受一個午餐是挺奢侈的, 不過可以一嚐美味的壽司, 就管不了那麼多!

曾經「壽司處今村」是午市壽司的熱門選擇,非要預訂不可, 但隨著壽司店越開越多 , 消費者選擇多了和它的水準持續下降是導致現在去今村食lunch , walk in 也沒有問題的原因。這日忽然有朋友約在銅鑼灣午飯, 想吃壽司, 不想去壽司廣, 於是便想起今村。究竟有甚麼問題呢?$168 自選10件壽司, 原本也甚划算, 但其偷工減料, 令人慎怒。甜蝦壽司,有沒有見過得單邊的甜蝦?元祿也不會這樣做,鐵火卷得3粒, 那應該是半份鐵火卷。做得午市, 開得出$168 十件就請做出足十件, 覺得蝕底的話, 可以加價, 或者變9件, 8件, 不要這樣寒酸。那件海鰻乾過烘煨麵包, 汁呢?可能師傅忘記落吧,只有拖羅是交足貨, 其餘的是千両質素。套遠包前菜, 湯, 甜品, 對, 沒有蒸蛋。服務尚可, 可惜師傳手腳實在太慢, 一點二十分坐低, 等足25分鐘壽司才上枱, 餓死鳥。我建議大家如要在銅鑼灣吃壽司午餐,可以選擇在同一楝大廈11樓的「鮨福助」。

I read so much about this restaurant. it was pretty good but over rated i think.

The fish is pretty fresh and they have so many diffirent kinds of rare fish, but i found that the way fish was sliced wasn't the best. I did not find their sushi is very delicate. But I liked their rice.

The problem i had was the service. It is not a cheap place abut i found that the service did not match the price.
I ordered drinks as soon as i sat down and ordered few appetizers later. the appetizer came before my drink.
As Japanese, that really bothered me.

The lunch time is not too crowded and service is better.
Their lunch set is good deal. I would go back during lunch again.

不過又是高質之作
炸粉一點也不多也不油膩
師傅手勢很不錯!! 

特別是那兩隻蝦
肉厚肥美,可惜只有兩隻
其他都是冬菇、蕃薯等等的蔬菜。

服務差到無朋友, 加茶欠奉, 上菜時感到侍應的冷淡, 相當求其!!

食品方便, 味到正常, 沒有驚喜. 驚喜的她方在於份量極細, 適合正在瘦身節食女士

順帶一提, 現場冷氣嚴重不足, 吃到出汗

六月下旬‧晴

接受飲食雜誌的訪問,談的是omakase,來了這裡,是雜誌方面的安排。

除了訪問的內容,其他工作也很簡單,只是拍幾個遠鏡照就行,連post也不用,因為我還不是正面出鏡。

師傅握了一件拖羅壽司,但我看在眼中,放在後面的漬物更是吸引。

They are quite well-known among Japanese in HK, this is the great selling point as their people do like it, it should be good, right? No disappointment so far, everything is of fine quality and great variety of selection. Portion is not small, everytime I feel so full.
The only bad thing is, tables and chairs are too small, not that comfortable if you sit there for over an hour.

This was the 3rd time we've been here. I must say that the most recent visit was the most disappointing.

This was the 3rd time we've been here. I must say that the most recent visit was the most disappointing.

Despite the dishes being of a good standard (when they finally arrived), the service by the waitresses was non-existant. They could not communicate clearly, they served the hot dishes before the cold dishes, in a haphazard way, they told us half way through the meal that our salad was not available, I had to tell them to re-fill our tea - twice for my husband and twice for myself, not once did they take the initiative themselves (even when asking them to refill for my husband, she did not have the common sense to fill mine at the same time), I had to ask them to clear away our finished dishes/plates - again every single time it was finished, and each dish took ages to come (one by one), in addition it also took too long for our bill. The restaurant was not crowded, and the waitresses were not busy - yet the service was not up to any basic standard.

Some basic training to the waitresses, as a start, would make the dining experience here alot more pleasant.

Super fresh sushi! Ordered: Uni, toro, snapper, shrimp, salmon roe (and few other fish that i forget about the names). Uni and salmon roe are especially good! You know the salmon roe actually bounce like a mini-tennis ball when i dropped one on the table Seaweed crispy, and Uni is super fresh.Would definitely go again.

原本想去既日本餐廳滿曬座,又想食壽司,揾到今村。今村個名平日都有聽聞,可以加幾分信心去試下。一踏入門口就傳出一陣好熱鬧既日文對話,原來右手邊壽司吧己經坐滿人,而且有好幾位日本客人,一邊食一邊同日本壽司師傅談天說地,好有氣氛!自已都覺得坐壽吧可以同師傅溝通,起碼了解到當晚提供各類魚生既特式同食味,方便揾到啱自己口味既野食。可惜我地訂唔到壽司吧,但被安排到一個私隱度較高同舒適度較好既座位,都好滿意!我地叫左1枝清酒,佐酒小食,1人套餐,幾款壽司同兩份烏冬。 前菜:賣相好精緻,有魷魚、炸蟛蜞等。其中最特別既深海魚魚肝,質感有d似鵝肝,原來係有益既食品,當然要食清佢啦! 佐酒小食:- 味淋雞泡魚魚乾:名副其實魚乾上搽左味淋再燒,表面比一般魚乾無咁乾,增加左小小甜味。- 燒魚骨:聽個名好似好特別,其實都係將d小魚骨炸左,無添加任何調味,有小部份帶有小許苦味,個人覺得麻麻地。 一人套餐:- 魚生:感覺生鮮,但部份本身欠缺甜味,比預期差遠。- 田螺配水雲子(海藻):田螺ok,水雲子夠醒胃又可以清一清咀裡複雜既味道,好似法國菜中段 Sherbet 既功用。- 煮 "魚立" 魚:肉質嫩,但偏甜。- 燒魚

原本想去既日本餐廳滿曬座,又想食壽司,揾到今村。今村個名平日都有聽聞,可以加幾分信心去試下。

一踏入門口就傳出一陣好熱鬧既日文對話,原來右手邊壽司吧己經坐滿人,而且有好幾位日本客人,一邊食一邊同日本壽司師傅談天說地,好有氣氛!自已都覺得坐壽吧可以同師傅溝通,起碼了解到當晚提供各類魚生既特式同食味,方便揾到啱自己口味既野食。可惜我地訂唔到壽司吧,但被安排到一個私隱度較高同舒適度較好既座位,都好滿意!

我地叫左1枝清酒,佐酒小食,1人套餐,幾款壽司同兩份烏冬。

前菜:賣相好精緻,有魷魚、炸蟛蜞等。其中最特別既深海魚魚肝,質感有d似鵝肝,原來係有益既食品,當然要食清佢啦!

佐酒小食:

- 味淋雞泡魚魚乾:名副其實魚乾上搽左味淋再燒,表面比一般魚乾無咁乾,增加左小小甜味。


- 燒魚骨:聽個名好似好特別,其實都係將d小魚骨炸左,無添加任何調味,有小部份帶有小許苦味,個人覺得麻麻地。

一人套餐:

- 魚生:感覺生鮮,但部份本身欠缺甜味,比預期差遠。

- 田螺配水雲子(海藻):田螺ok,水雲子夠醒胃又可以清一清咀裡複雜既味道,好似法國菜中段 Sherbet 既功用。

- 煮 "魚立" 魚:肉質嫩,但偏甜。

- 燒魚鮫:提到魚鮫都感覺天然油份會較多,但呢個又唔係喎,完全唔油,但亦都唔乾,肉質保持細嫩,但無其特別之處。

- 壽司:一共有6 件。除新鮮外,並唔感覺特別出色。

- 青瓜卷:反而平時唔起眼兼好普通既青瓜卷能夠將飯香同質感帶出黎,確實奇妙。


極級海膽壽司 + 帶子壽司:海膽係我既至愛,聽到極級則極品啦,一定要試。海膽味濃,但可惜海膽鮮甜味欠奉,有d失望!帶子壽司則夠鮮甜,水準達到。

赤貝壽司 + 白象拔蚌壽司:兩者都夠新鮮,夠鮮甜。


雜菜烏冬:烏冬較煙靭,配上爽脆雜菜絲,食完魚生最佳暖胃食物。


個人單以壽司而論,包括魚生本身甜度,厚度,以及壽司大細都未夠理想 (雖然知道非下價貨色)。除食物外,當晚試到一枝味道不錯既清酒,入口舒暢,香味持久,係當晚一個驚喜!

環境:雖然地方小小,氣氛不俗,佈置同燈光配合得宜,亦充滿日本風味,有花過心思!

服務:可以用服務水平高黎形容,客人唔會感到拘緊,恰到好處!

Sushi Imamura 寿司処今村 used to be quite a reliable place for quality sushi and sashimi. I said “used to” because the quality had dropped substantially with its popularity and fame growing over time. It seems that people are fine to settling average sushi at a cheaper price at lunch, rather than going for higher standard yet more expensive experiences. If you are a owner of a sushi restaurant, which way will you choose? Pulling in more quick profits with sell-out convenient lunch sets or higher quality offers with higher cost and lower turnover?

When I had a reunion dinner with 3 friends at Imamura one night, we were surprised by how deserted the place was. We were the only table in the restaurant for the whole night except for one foreigner at the sushi counter. We picked the table mainly because we were planning to talk to catch up and didn’t want to disturb others at the sushi counter. Regardless, our food was prepared by 今村猛之 樣 and his sous chef as he wasn’t really busy… Omakase (おまかせ) was our natural choice, in fact, almost always my defined choice when dining at sushi restaurant. What’s better than letting the chef to give you the best he can offer, much like the tasting menu in fine-dining restaurants?

The おまかせ started out with 3 cold appetizers (三昧前菜) which did not leave any strong impression despite all being homemade. The Hiroshima oysters with vinegar and oroshi (広島かきのマリネ) was fresh with the oceanic flavor and tantalizing vinegar (酢) and oroshi (おろし) nicely balanced, but the flavor was very standard. Accompanied was the Marinated Raw Sea Cucumber (珍味: なまこ酢 Namako Su) which, like last time I tasted it, was chewy and slimy and wasn’t particularly palate-simulating.

Next served was the more “safe” course of お造り刺身. The platter of sashimi was filled with seasonal fresh fish ranging from はまち (himachi, yellowtail), カンパチ (kanpachi), 帆立 (hotate, scallops), しま鯵 (shima aji, jackfish), さんま (sanma, pacific saury 秋刀魚), カツオ (katsuo, 鰹), to the more special and luxurious 金目鯛 (kinmeidai, golden eye snapper), サザエ (sazae, conch), あわび (awabi, abalone, 鮑), みるがい (mirugai海松貝, Geoduck clam), 牡丹海老 (Botan ebi), and 大とろ (Otoro). While the presentation was absolutely gorgeous, I must say the quality of each type of sashimi wasn’t as pristine as I would have expected. The better ones were the shell fish which still retained their crunchy texture and freshness. The 大とろ, while not the best I had, was richly marbled and filled the coated my lips and mouth with fatty goodness. On the other hand, my favorite さんま was not fatty enough to give a luscious mouthfeel(at least it wasn’t fishy), and the 牡丹海老 lacked the bouncy, juicy, “dancing-in-your-feel” feeling. (The shrimp heads were fried and served after). Both were surprisingly bland and in fact rather disappointing. However, points were given to the knife skills of Chef Imamura, as all sashimi was cut in the appropriate thickness and sizes. I am particularly impressed by the cuts of shell fish which were done poorly in a lot of other sushi restaurants, but not the case here.

After the sashimi, 松葉かに (matsubagani, 松葉蟹) was presented in the most simple, unadorned form. All the crab meat was extracted and placed both inside and outside the shell, with some female crab roes hidden underneath the meat. A pile of deep-reddish crab eggs right next to it certainly drew my attention. This presentation immediately reminded me of the 松葉かに dish that KC had at 幸村 (ゆきむら) in Tokyo.

Of course I did not expect the flavor to be anywhere close to what he had. In fact, the crab meat was totally deprived of sweetness or oceanic flavor, and the roes and eggs also failed to simulate my tastebuds. The course was supposed to be a highlight of the omakase, unfortunately it was mission impossible.

The sushi platter comprised of sushi made with しま鯵 (shima aji), 大とろ (Otoro), 金目鯛 (Kinmeidai),うに(Uni), 穴子 (Anago). They were better than average compared to most of the sushi restaurants in town, and with Chef Imamura in the house they were certainly up to my expectation. The neta to rice ratio, rice temperature and seasoning, and thickness of neta are all appropriately achieved under his skillful hands. The 葱とろ巻 (negitoro rolls) were also freshly done with the nori still crispy. The only caveat was again the freshness of the neta was just not of premium level, so even the highly experienced chef wouldn’t be able to save this natural weakness.

I must say the bowl of seaweed miso soup at the end of the meal was surprisingly delicious and completely excited me! The savory note of the seaweed was perfectly balanced by the umami of the miso (which I must say is of excellent quality). It was so soothing, I asked for a second bowl!

The super sweet melon and persimmon ended the meal. While our group was extremely happy during the dinner, the omakase overall had a lot to be desired. With the今村 brand name, I believe customers will have high expectation to both the quality of the ingredients and the chef skills in an omakase prepared by him. In this dinner I could see the latter – Chef Imamura’s years of experience as a sushi chef. However, the 2nd half of the equation didn’t quite deliver, leaving it an imperfect score.

第261篇食評, 究竟是要彈...


今天我們多人來吃中午飯, 大家都想吃得好一點, 專登答的士過黎食
座位一再確認無誤, 下單都頗快, 但等了又等!!!
我們同時間叫了8個餐, 有平有貴
一早整好左既好快上, 即整既都等不上多久時間
奈何的是吞拿魚腩蓋飯, 等上了半天(半小時)都不見影

催了3-5次, 次次都話黎緊, 攪到我地幾個都拖慢黎食,
唔想另外兩個朋友的餐來到時, 我地已經食晒呢
終於黎到, 但朋友說不太好吃, 新鮮度不夠, 而且腥了一點!

是要起骨拆皮的原因, 還是唔夠人手, 抑或是未捉魚?
