Fusion Sushi Lovers * - especially those who have been to Sushi of Gari in New York, would be delighted to find this hidden gem on Stanley street's modern white building across from Holly Brown.I have been to their soft opening and was very happy to see such a new concept come to town! The name "Gyotaku" is derived from the traditional form of Japanese fish printing. The process is extremely delicate and artistic... just like the food served - hence the name! Tonight, I revisited Gyotaku for din

The name "Gyotaku" is derived from the traditional form of Japanese fish printing. The process is extremely delicate and artistic... just like the food served - hence the name! Tonight, I revisited Gyotaku for dinner and was extremely pleased with creative and high quality food.
We started off with the *Tempura shrimp and radish salad* - the shrimps were fresh and batter wasn't too thick! A great appetizer to kick start the meal.
We ordered several types of fusion sushi, my favourite being the Tuna quail egg sushi, the Fois gras sushi with blueberry sauce and the Scallop sushi with basil parma ham and fresh cherry tomatoes . If you like meat, I'd recommend the Duck breast sushi or Wagyu beef sushi which I thought was a nice change from the usual seafood sushi.
I had the Fois gras Chawamushi and it came with a layer of mushroom soup - what a great concept! Will try the Crab bisque Chawamushi next time, heard it was very popular too!
Then on to the Star of the night! Gyotaku's Japanese wagyu (Saga beef) & Fois gras fried rice bowl with poached egg!
Extreme goodies mixed in one bowl, this heavenly combination is NOT on the menu. You can ask for it when you get there and if you're lucky... you'll get to try it
If you're a Wagyu beef lover, I would recommend the Saga Beef steak instead of the rice bowl as you get more of the Saga beef flavour.
Am recently a big fan of Japanese grilled cod fish and heard that Gyotaku's was amazing. This dish definitely lived up to it's reputation and is also available for lunch. Much better than most of the Japanese cod fish dishes I've had in HK.
Our meal ended with the famous Sesame pudding * .. I must say I loved it even though I wasn't a sesame fan. You can have the sauce on the side if you don't want the sesame taste to be too strong.. but overall it was a relatively light dessert with great flavours.
Am looking forward to trying Gyotaku's lunch dishes as I heard their Japanese beef curry was made from scratch - Yes.. meaning fresh fruit and NOT from curry cubes! AMAZING! Can't wait to try visit Gyotaku again *
