原本只是打算試一試新餐廳，估不到咁有驚喜。一個舒服的環境，享受由日本直送的新鮮食材，再加上廚師超有 heart 的烹調，及駐埸唎酒師為你選擇啱自己口味的清酒，和朋友品嚐一頓好美味及豐盛的晩餐。妻地雞炭火燒🔸妻地雞是一種走地雞，食落超咬口，再加上點配柚子加黑胡椒做成的醬汁，好食到難以形容。鐵板燒青森直送喜之次🔸這是我第一次吃喜之次魚，這魚棲息於寒帶水域深海中，產量少很矜貴，冬季是當造期。燒好的 kinki 果真皮與肉之間充滿飽滿的油分，入口肉質細緻嫩滑，鮮甜及魚味濃郁，本人超喜歡。

This restaurant was so good it inspired me to write my first openrice review.

Wako Teppanyaki is the most interesting Japanese restaurant to have opened in HK in recent years. The name belies the casual ambiance -- although delectable (and expensive!) wagyu can be found here (three-time wagyu olympic winner Miyazaki-gyu mind you, but more on this later), this is not just another fancy teppanyaki place specializing in *insert esoteric Japanese prefecture here* A5 wagyu that will leave you crying as you sign the bill.

It is better to view Wako teppanyaki as an upscale izakaya that happens to specialize in teppanyaki cuisine. It features fresh and delicious products shipped directly from Japan on unique supply chains and prices them extremely reasonably. The head chef, Tomariya san, hails from teppanyaki royalty. His father was one of the original founders of Ukaitei in Tokyo and he himself worked as a teppanyaki chef for years in Tokyo before coming to HK.

What makes this restaurant special is Tomariya san's connections to local produce and fish/meat providers that ship product directly from the prefectures of Aomori (famous for seafood) and Miyazaki (famous for beef/pork/chicken and vegetables). This means he is not relying on the same few suppliers that most Japanese restaurants here in HK use and can offer unique products at prices not suffering from middle-man inflation.

The restaurant sells Aomori-sourced kinki fish for just $240, for example (shipped directly along with Aomori snow!). This same fish anywhere else in HK will run $500-$800. I forgot to take a photo but this is one of the best fish I have had this year -- the teppan grill preserves the oil and flavor perfectly. Miyazaki thick-cut bacon is another example. Priced at just ~$100, it is without exaggeration the most satisfying piece of bacon I have ever had in my life. It was foodblogger amateur hour at the time and I forgot to to take photos, but you will have to take my word for it.

Some photos I did take:

Miyazaki A4 sirloin at ~$480. Amazing flavor. Melt-in-your-mouth texture. Miyazaki beef has won the wagyu olympics for the past three competitions (held once every 5-years) over more famous brands such as Matsuzaka, Kobe, and Saga. Interestingly, the majority Kobe beef is actually born in Miyazaki (the wagyu brand is dependent on where the calf is raised, not where it is born). I actually find this cut of beef too oily but I know this is a personal thing and some people will love it.

Miyazaki wagyu hamburger ~$200. I forgot the exact price but it was around $200. This slow-cooked hamburger is the juiciest and tastiest hamburgers I've had in this town (note no bun, sorry for bad photo). My favorite dish.

Miyazaki sumibiyaki jidori (charcoal-cooked chicken), ~$300. This was another favorite. Juicy and amazing charcoal flavor. A taste unlike anything else found in HK. I learned the reason for this is because there is a Japanese charcoal import ban in HK. To get around this restriction , the chicken is charcoal-grilled to a rare-state in Miyazaki and then shipped vacuum-sealed to HK where Tomariya san finishes it off on the grill.

Bacon okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake), $98. This is the best okonomiyaki I have had in HK. Not to diss Cozy cause that one is solid, but this one is better. The yama-imo gives it the perfect texture and Tomariya san's slow-cooking style keeps the moisture in. This okonomiyaki so good in fact that you could probably just come for this and beers, which probably lowers the restaurant budget profile by about $200-300 per person.

Other dishes I had and recommend include the tofu salad, cabbage salad, miso iberico, and Miyazaki salmon sashimi (leaner and less oily than typical salmon). The sushi is also super reasonable.

If one avoids the wagyu, dining here can be easily done under $500 per person. As an okonomiyaki place, under $300 per person and even cheaper without the requisite draft beers but I don't know why one would do that.

Happy dining!
