Worth a try.

This relatively new Japanese restaurant specializes in cuisines from the Nigata prefecture and seems to be first one in Hong Kong. Plenty of interesting choices to choose from. This is part of the menu:
餐厅楼底很高,以黑色为主调。餐厅成H字形,很多角位,私隐度高但不容易呼叫侍应。
The restaurant is conveniently located at a commercial building right behind Times Square. Not a big restaurant but the ceiling is very high and the tables are widely spaced out. It's not easy to catch the attention of the waiters though. 前菜有茶碗蒸,烧鲭鱼,银杏,筑前煮和鱼汤浸青菜。每款都很美味,尤其是茶碗蒸,蛋蒸得很滑溜,用料足,献汁亦富有鲣鱼味。很有诚意的前菜。
Everyone had one of these automatically. (I think they charge $50 for this but I'm not sure.)
The appetizer set consists of Cha wan mushi (Steamed Egg), Ginkgo nuts, Grilled Saba, Sea weed and Lotus roots marinated in soy sauce, fish soup and mirin. The steamed egg in particular was very nice and smooth.
刺身拼盘的质素整体非常不错。拖罗和海胆尤其鲜味。其他都很新鲜。因这里似乎是主打熟食, 所以刺身亦能有很好的质数实在是始料不及。绝对物有所值。推介。
The quality of the assorted sashimi was very good, especially the toro and the uni. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the sashimi since this restaurant appears to specialize more on cooked food. It's reasonably priced too. Definitely worth a try.
接著来一盘日本野菜拼盘。卖相很精致。分别有红菜头,箩卜,露荀, 南瓜等,全都鲜甜爽口。太太每次在日本餐厅都会叫, 这或可解释为何日本女性都比较长寿。 而我一向对在餐厅内点切日本野菜之决定的智慧存疑, 这或可解释为何男性都比女性短寿。
Assorted Japanese vegetables. A favorite of my wife. She orders this whenever she sees this on the menu of any Japanese restaurant. I suppose that partly explains the longevity of Japanese women. Eat your veggies.
这一味"Noppe"是新潟的传统乡土料理之一。说穿了其实很像「筑前煮」加入高汤和三文鱼子。竹笋爽口无渣,上汤的味道都被野菜吸收了,味道颇有层次。我们都很喜欢。不妨一试。
Noppe: A traditional dish from Nigata. It is similar to another traditional Japanese stew, Chikuzenni, but made primarily with bamboo shoots and salmon roe. The bamboo shoots were nice and crunchy and mixed well with the ikura. Very interesting. We enjoyed it.
新潟玉子烧: 非常,非常甜的蛋卷。口感像吃蛋布甸一样。甜得像 甜品。以前的日本人确是以玉子作甜品的。提议最后才点。
Tamagoyaki: Far sweeter than normal egg rolls. Almost like custard. Whether you like this depends on whether you have a sweet tooth. I suggest ordering this as your last dish.
杂锦天妇罗: 店名既以海老(虾)为名,对大虾天妇罗不期然有些期待。可惜大虾的炸浆有点油,反而较其他款式的天妇罗逊色。其他天妇罗则做得不错。吃天妇罗我较喜欢点盐。三种类的盐亦有提鲜的作用。
当然,在香港很难找到比「一宝」好的天妇罗。
Tempura: one would expect that for a restaurant named "the whiskers of a shrimp", the shrimps would have been the best. surprisingly the ebi wasn't as good as other tempura. The tempura was good but not exceptional. The batter could be less oily. Having said that, once you've tried "Ippoh", it's hard to find a better one in Hong Kong.
新潟其中最有名的是日本米。这里亦提供了数款「釜饭」。我们点了毛蟹釜饭。这釜饭份量充足,每人可分两碗。
饭香扑鼻,软硬适中,相信能满足对日本米有要求的各位。除了本身的饭香外亦渗透了一点毛蟹的海鲜味。太太非常喜欢。吃惯重口味的我则略嫌味道不够浓郁,加入蟹味噌有提鲜的作用但我认为「蟹膳」的蟹肉蒸饭更有鲜味。
Nigata is famous for their Japanese rice. Ebi no Hige provides a number of steamed fish/crab in clay pot. We ordered a steamed claypot rice.
The portion was fairly substantial. The quality of the rice did not disappoint. The rice had a wonderful aroma and the texture was perfect. Even though the crab taste was not as pronounced as I had hoped (even after mixing in the crab miso), my wife really enjoyed it. Worth a try. According to the menu, the copper trays used here are national treasures. All were hand made according to traditional techniques. I suppose the plates must be works of arts too, that must explain why none of the waiters changed our plates or took away empty dishes.
店内的铜具是无形文化遗产。可能其他餐具亦是艺术品,所以侍应一直没有收拾盘盘碟碟。 我们点了新潟地酒的试饮拼盘。每款酒都有详尽的介绍。五大杯。性价比高。由非常清新带甜至沉厚木桶味的都有。值得一试。
As Nigata produces really high quality rice, it follows that their sake - which is made of rice - must be good too. I suggest ordering the sake tasting set. 5 different types of sake that came in generous portion at a reasonable price.
服务方面有颇大的进步空间。其实服务员都很殷勤有礼,但虽然客人不多,但大家都不断团团转,忙这忙那的,很难叫到侍应。侍应收碟亦很慢。我认为是经理没有给员工清晰的训练和指示所致。这个问题应容易解决的。
埋单每人约$600元,以食物份量和质素来说颇为经济。值得一试。
Even though there weren't too many customers, I have to say the service was a bit clumsy. It's very hard to catch the attention of any staff.
They didn't clear empty dishes away or changed our plates at all unless we expressly asked them to, which is hardly acceptable in any decent Japanese restaurant.
Other than that, the staff were polite and we're trying hard. I think they just need a bit more direction as to who stands where and what to do...etc.
I threw the receipt away so i couldn't remember how much I paid precisely. It should be in the region of $600-$700 per head. Very reasonably priced in view of the quality of the food. Recommended.
