I got to know of this Japanese restaurant through one of the social media platform and decided to bring my wife here for their omakase lunch today. Suzu Yaiba was located at The Pemberton, couple of minutes walk from Sheung Wan MTR.One of the highlights of this restaurant was the corridor leading to the toilet. It was brightly lit, with plenty of glittering shiny showpieces, like walking on fashion walkway. For their lunch menu, it was reasonably priced, ranged between $450 to $880 per person.Th

Through our casual chat with the master sushi chef did we realize he was the last disciple of a famous Japanese chef in Hong Kong. He even showed us the sushi knife that his master gave it to him as memento.
First dish was appetizer, presented in a plate of moon's crescent. It consisted of eggplant jelly, snail and figs tempura. It was light and appetizing, a good start to our meal.
Steamed dish was done nicely, served hot and was very soft and smooth. There were crab meat, salmon roe, mushroom and gingko nuts in it. They were sweet and fresh in taste.
They served us a tray of side dishes to eat it along with the sushi, to help to clear our taste buds. They were crunchy and juicy.
One of us ordered nami lunch set, with the sushi mainly tuna, consisting of tuna, medium tuna and fatty tuna sushi. They were fresh and chewy, with the fatty tuna very fatty and oily, almost melting in my mouth.
Grilled tuna sickle sushi - It was grilled before serving, thus making it even oily and soft, very flavourful.
Tuna pickles roll - Tuna and pickles were used to wrap into the roll, with the chef very generous with the portion of tuna. It was chewy and meaty, with soy sauce provided to enhance the taste.
Tuna green onion rice - There were alot minced tuna on top of the rice, with shredded green onion on top of the rice. Rice was fragrant and chewy, with the tuna fatty and smooth, going well with the rice.
Another set will be heki, with 12 seasonal sushi of chef's choice. They served us 伊左目, 深海池魚, 赤貝, 手釣池魚配三星漬, 間八, 梳子魚, 北海道牡丹蝦, 冬天鰤魚, 中拖羅, 燒鯖魚, 北海道馬糞海膽, 北海道銀鱈魚 and 小肌 sushi. Given the price and the variety of sushi type given such as seafood and fish etc, it was very value for money. Their sushi were fresh and chewy, with no soy sauce needed to dip onto it, proofing their freshness.
Miso soup was very flavourful, with sliced bean curd in it.
Matcha pudding with red bean - Pudding was very soft and smooth, with strong matcha taste. Red bean was vey sweet and chewy, going well with the pudding.
