Nigata prefecture cuisine and sake specialist.

Service needs fine tuning.
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:
餐廳樓底很高，以黑色為主調。餐廳成H字形,很多角位，私隱度高但不容易呼叫侍應。
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，燒鯖魚，銀杏，筑前煮和魚湯浸青菜。每款都很美味，尤其是茶碗蒸，蛋蒸得很滑溜，用料足，獻汁亦富有鰹魚味。很有誠意的前菜。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.
刺身拼盤的質素整體非常不錯。拖羅和海膽尤其鮮味。其他都很新鮮。因這裏似乎是主打熟食, 所以刺身亦能有很好的質數實在是始料不及。絕對物有所值。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.
接著來一盤日本野菜拼盤。賣相很精緻。分別有紅菜頭，籮蔔，露荀, 南瓜等，全都鮮甜爽口。太太每次在日本餐廳都會叫, 這或可解釋為何日本女性都比較長壽。 而我一向對在餐廳內點切日本野菜之決定的智慧存疑, 這或可解釋為何男性都比女性短壽。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.
這一味"Noppe"是新潟的傳統鄉土料理之一。說穿了其實很像「筑前煮」加入高湯和三文魚子。竹筍爽口無渣，上湯的味道都被野菜吸收了，味道頗有層次。我們都很喜歡。不妨一試。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.
新潟玉子燒: 非常,非常甜的蛋卷。口感像吃蛋布甸一樣。甜得像甜品。以前的日本人確是以玉子作甜品的。提議最後才點。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.
雜錦天婦羅: 店名既以海老(蝦)為名，對大蝦天婦羅不期然有些期待。可惜大蝦的炸漿有點油，反而較其他款式的天婦羅遜色。其他天婦羅則做得不錯。吃天婦羅我較喜歡點鹽。三種類的鹽亦有提鮮的作用。當然，在香港很難找到比「一宝」好的天婦羅。
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。這裡亦提供了數款「釜飯」。我們點了毛蟹釜飯。這釜飯份量充足，每人可分兩碗。飯香撲鼻，軟硬適中，相信能滿足對日本米有要求的各位。除了本身的飯香外亦滲透了一點毛蟹的海鮮味。太太非常喜歡。吃慣重口味的我則略嫌味道不夠濃郁，加入蟹味噌有提鮮的作用但我認為「蟹膳」的蟹肉蒸飯更有鮮味。
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.店內的銅具是無形文化遺產。可能其他餐具亦是藝術品，所以侍應一直沒有收拾盤盤碟碟。
我們點了新潟地酒的試飲拼盤。每款酒都有詳盡的介紹。五大杯。性價比高。由非常清新帶甜至沉厚木桶味的都有。值得一試。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.
服務方面有頗大的進步空間。其實服務員都很殷勤有禮，但雖然客人不多，但大家都不斷團團轉，忙這忙那的，很難叫到侍應。侍應收碟亦很慢。我認為是經理沒有給員工清晰的訓練和指示所致。這個問題應容易解決的。
埋單每人約$600元，以食物份量和質素來說頗為經濟。值得一試。
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.
