Izakaya in style: hidden gem in Happy Valley Time for a little celebration upon finishing our participation in a popular design festival. This izakaya place is right next to Wong Nai Chung Sports Centre in Happy Valley. Assorted sushi set: this is heaven. The chef selected 10 different kinds of sashimi to go with the finely pressed sushi rice. My favourites go to the chutoro tuna and the torched olive flounder. A5 Hida beef wagyu on skewer: honestly over the top, thick cut and served with butter
Time for a little celebration upon finishing our participation in a popular design festival. This izakaya place is right next to Wong Nai Chung Sports Centre in Happy Valley.
Assorted sushi set: this is heaven. The chef selected 10 different kinds of sashimi to go with the finely pressed sushi rice. My favourites go to the chutoro tuna and the torched olive flounder.
A5 Hida beef wagyu on skewer: honestly over the top, thick cut and served with butter. The rims were seared and crispy, the inside was absolutely melty, fatty and buttery. A sheer bliss.
Their menu features a variety of fancy fusion in terms of skewers. Here are a few of my best picks we tasted: grilled shrimp wrapped with shiso leaf and fried chicken skin; handmade minced chicken stick dipped with raw Japanese egg sauce; pork belly topped with wasabi and sliced shiso; runny onsen egg wrapped with bacon. With my highest compliments.
Since it’s Izakaya hour, we also sampled some staple items like seared scallop; cheesy rice cake; white button mushroom; and chicken with leek yakitori.
Definitely a high quality Izakaya place, every seat, particularly those over the bar table, enjoys a spectacular view of the chefs preparing and cooking the delicacies.
