✨ We ordered their Lunch Tasting Menu priced at $390 hkd per person + 10% service charge.

— This was a lovely surprise on the house that is usually only served on their dinner menu! Absolutely loved this decadent starter that was full of flavour. The spongy brioche is topped with fresh Japanese scallops and finished with a generous shaving of aged cheddar cheese for that extra boost of flavour and adds to the rich savouriness of the dish itself. The touch of scallion oil to finish really brings all of the flavours together and adds a unique aroma.
Pic 2️⃣: 𝐖𝐚𝐠𝐲𝐮 𝐎𝐱 𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐞 - grilled ox tongue, dashi pomme purée, seasonal vegetable
— Wagyu ox tongue done 2 ways, one grilled and one braised. Personally preferred the grilled version more, as it was a lot more tender and aromatic when grilled. Seasoning on both were equally as good, the braised version was slightly sweeter, which contrasted with the grilled version.

— Good way to start the meal. Sashimi was fresh and presentation was unique too.

— Really enjoyed this main course! Their juicy, thick-cut slices of Kumamoto pork sit on top of a bed of seasoned Japanese rice, they’re seared to perfection and lightly smoked to give it that aromatic finish. It’s finished with a generous sprinkling of green chili for a slight kick and ikura for a burst of umami flavour. I loved the acidity from the peppery yuzu kosho which really opened up my appetite even more.
Pic 5️⃣&6️⃣: 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐉𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 - daikon, sprout, beancurd, yuzu pepper soup, mini chicken don
— Flavours are much milder compared to the other main. The chicken breast was tender and juicy. The yuzu pepper soup was hearty and warming to drink. The flavours of the mini chicken don were very similar to the pork donabe.
Pic 7️⃣: 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 - corn custard, compressed tomato, oolong chicken broth
— The creamy corn custard was a perfect pairing with the tangy and sweet compressed tomato. The earthy oolong chicken broth complemented the smoky charred mushrooms too. Loved the contrasting textures in the dish.
Pic 8️⃣: 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐧𝐮𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐫 𝐓𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐮 - chestnut, sponge cake, mascarpone, chestnut cream, shaved caviar
— Perfect ending to the meal. The sponge layer in the centre was adequately soaked with their aromatic coffee liqueur. The mascarpone was light, and lightly sweetened. The deep roasted chestnut flavour went so well with the coffee aroma too. Finished off with shaved caviar, the combination of the sweet and umami elements really sealed the deal for me.
