We noticed that Hoka Hoka Causeway Bay was doing a Set Dinner Menu for two with Sake Pairing included. The 9 Courses dinner starts from just $880 for two people inclusive, including a 300ml sake. For an extra dollar more at $980, you can also receive the full 720ml Sake Bottle, including all the below food courses and most items were served as 2 singular portions rather than being shared. It is really fair. Note: The special price of $880-$980 must be reserved in advance by phone call. Th

蓬萊泉 和 Houraisen Junmai Gingo, from Aichi Prefecture, Japan -The whole 720ml Bottle is included if you pre-book the $980 Dinner Set for 2 people.

Hiyashi Cold Japanese Tomato Salad - 冷やしトマトA nice started in the Summer, with a sour vinegar dressing and already peeled. ~ 7/10
_
Aka Mebaru Sashimi 2 Ways - 赤メバルThis is 2 people’s portion, and you receive the whole fish!! One plate of this tasted slightly more fatter than the other. I usually like thin cuts of this fish, but this particular one performed with the thicker cuts. Chef recommends very little soy or wasabi, but mix it with the Sake above. ~ 7.5/10
_
Soy & Ginger Stewed Abalones - トコブシの生姜煮付けI was surprised because this is only 1 person’s portion, which means each person gets 2 abalones. It paired really well with the Sake above, bringing out the pear fruitiness in the rice wine. ~ 9/10
_
Japanese Asari Clams in Sake soup - あさりの酒蒸しUsing the more expensive imported Asari, this was for 2 persons but a large serving size. It has a lot of sweetness from the clams and the sake, although personally I prefer even more sake and clams flavour. Can’t complain at this price. ~ 7/10
_
Home-made Pumpkin Croquette - 自家製かぼちゃコロッケThis was quite loose but sweet. One of our favorite courses and it has some minced meat inside. ~ 8/10
_
Salt-grilled Ayu fish - 鮎の塩焼きThis is a must do around this time of the year. Here it was grilled a bit too salty to my liking, but the meat remained moist inside and sweet. Again you get 1 fish for each person. Served with 蓼酢 Tadesu, For the above Ayu fish to dip into, its based on the same plant diet that the fish eats itself, which lends it the slight melon flavour.. ~ 7/10
_
Grilled Beef and Kimchi, and Japanese Nagasu Chicken with Miso - 長洲鶏の味噌串焼き, 牛肉のキムチ串焼きI think the caramelization today was a bit weak, which means it was more boiled like. However the chicken meat was tender but I prefer them skin-on for flavour. Like the combination of beef and kimchi, but again, think the crust could be better. ~ 6/10
_
Avocado Tempura - アボカド天麩羅Interesting to see this and it was fun to eat, also working well with the Sake. It brought out a real sweetness. Topped with chili strands. ~ 8/10
_
Yamaimo and Tuna Maguro-zuke Don - 山芋とマグロの漬け丼The tuna was just marinated, it’s a good finish with the slimey grated yamaimo ~ 8/10
_
Bill for 4, with 2 x 720ml Sake Bottles included -$2244 for 4 people only and most dishes above were presented as individual portions and quite filling, as there is no need to share between eating partners.. A really good bargain in HK and this Dinner Course changes every month with a different Japanese and Seasonal theme. I think it's really worth coming back every month to explore their new Sake and Food Pairing Courses. If not for the taste, at least for the low price-tag.
