in spite of the rave reviews on sushi sase among my banking friends, i had been reluctant to try it for the simple reason that the bill was going to burn a hole in my pocket. i finally got an excuse to go with my loss on the world cup bet against my friend. it wasn't up to my choice of dinner or lunch while my friend was generous enough to choose lunch.knowing sushi sase is a japanese restaurant specializing in kaiseki cuisine, i knew for sure this experience was going to be a luxurious one.
knowing sushi sase is a japanese restaurant specializing in kaiseki cuisine, i knew for sure this experience was going to be a luxurious one. upon entrance of the restaurant, a large sushi bar with 18 seating was enough to convince you the authencity of sushi sase. it certainly reminded me of the sushi experience when i was treated to an exclusive sushi bar in akasaka tokyo. a few sample of minimalistic appertizers, the kaiseki meal began. the omakase sushi set consisted of 15 sushi came in their special presentation as candies to the eyes. the acidity of the sushi rice complemented perfectly to the oceanic flavor to the fish. sushi sase offered from the chef omakase course to an omakase sushi course ranging from hkd 1000+ to 1000. to the adventurous, it offered exoctic dishes like shirako (fish sperm), kazunoko (herring roe) or sazae (horned turban) which you won't easily found elsewhere.
sushi sase is expensive with a reason. it is certainly not a place i can afford to go frequently. but it deserves a spot for the special occasion.
