I’ve always wanted to try the curry udon at this place. So one night I came with my family.
The shop is located at City Garden. We were the first customers that evening.
They have a rather comprehensive menu which includes sashimi, sushi, different types of grilled food, skewers, fried skewers (!?) and many types of set dinner. Plenty of sake and sochu to choose from as well.
We ordered the following:
Sushi set $450:
The salmon, a favorite amongst Hong Kongers but so so for Japanese customers, was very flavourful and filled with fish oil. On the other hand, the uni was not particularly impressive. Others were pretty good. My quibble was that the rice was rather loosely held and difficult to eat with chopsticks.
Aji fry ($220):
Impressive presentation. Very crunchy but a bit oily. Make sure you add a few drops of lemon juice to reduce the oiliness. The fried bones were delicious and also less oily. Good for calcium.
Curry udon ($95):
One of their signature dishes. The curry was apparently home made. It was spicier than normal Japanese curry and quite aromatic. It had plenty of leeks, onions and good quality beef. The udon was springy and thick. This is better than most of the curry udon that I’ve had in Japan. Recommended.
Box pressed Saba sushi ($120):
This is different from “normal” hand made sushi (握り寿司)The rice and the topping are put inside a box and then pressed together. It’s supposed to be the prototype of Edomae sushi.
The rice had less vinegar taste than what I’m used to but the Saba is really rich with fish oil. Delicious and authentic. Recommended.
I didn’t drink that night. We only ordered a bottle of oolong tea and apple juice.
The bill came down to about $1,100. Not cheap but you get what you’ve paid for. Worth a try.
