Omakase is probably the only kind of restaurants that still thrive under the Omicron wave thanks to the Omakase關注組. Not a big fan of sushi, so Godenya is probably the perfect place to me to savour Japanese cuisine🇯🇵 Despite the dinner was changed to late lunch, it is still one of the best meals. I gonna feature all the dishes and then dedicate a post to their epic sake pairing🍶𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗸𝗼 // 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗵 // 𝗬𝘂𝘇𝘂A very cute presentation and with warm shirako inside the yuzu shell.

A very cute presentation and with warm shirako inside the yuzu shell. Smooth shirako with crispy and earthy, almost nutty, spinach was a great pairing. The yuzu and sake inside also enhanced the sweetness of the milt. A promising and surprising start but looking back after the whole meal, it’s really just the beginning and the least amazing dish. That’s absolutely insane🤯

Best ankimo ever😍 It was super sweet and super flavourful. Just not anything I have tried before. It was so tender that made me think the scallop chewy and bouncy. The pickles gave some tangy kicks and crunchy texture as a contrast. Brilliant and genius👍🏼

Look at the shred of overflowing snow crab meat! It was my first time trying obi taro and I’m in love with it☺️ It was definitely the best taro I tried. It was like a mash that it melted in your mouth. Syungiku is a vegetable that I don’t eat but putting it here, I was fine surprisingly! I just cannot stop admiring the skill and the tastebud of Chef👨🏼🍳

Surprisingly, this is my favourite dish from the menu. The balance of each ingredient was perfectly archived like a triangle🏆The karasumi was smokey and savoury while the shirauo was mildly sweet with hints from the ocean. The humble soba supported the other two while allowing its wheat and earthy flavour emerged when the two faded. Just an impeccable combo that’s both genius and intriguing. Sipping some sake after such a complex flavour was heaven like😮💨

The famous turnip in the winter❄️ The “Mizore” (雪見 rain and snow mixed) was the highlight of the dish. The turnip was everywhere and the samara and ika were the sides for you to try out the different flavours of the same legendary turnip. The turnip was clean, sweet and mildly “gan” flavour. A very Japanese dish in my mind. Subtle, delicate and tribute to the nature of ingredient😉

This presentation was just too cute to eat🦀 Sorry crabby! And a drank crab made by the sake master? I don’t believe you could find a better version in HK, or even the world. The drunken process was like umami-fermentation. The roe and paste were not very salty or winey but umami-ly. That was insane 🤯 Mixing everything together was just the best kind of experience. I also really love the lily bulb, pint nut and rice combo for some a dynamic texture in one bite. To savour the last bit of the shell, Chef recommended us to pour the sake in and drink it. I was so in love with this. Who needs a glass when you could have the shell😍

A hot fish broth before the carbs. As a Cantonese, I have high standard to fish broth and this one was still a hit to me. It was sweet but of course I prefer intenser flavour. The amadai worthed the applause especially when it’s too easy to overcooked for soup👍🏼 But I personally didn’t like the mustard lotus root.

The savoury finale🍜 After so many sake, you need some hot noodle to stay sober and warm your stomach. It was very homey bowl of food, especially in this cozy environment. I felt like the time was back to 2019 when travelling to Japan was still the reality🥺 This simple yet delicious noodle reminded me of what good cuisine should be. Not overcomplicated but just doing the job.

A meal served by the sake master, of course you need some sake🍶 too for dessert. It’s not poured on the side but to the dessert. A very western dessert that reminded me of affogato. A very happy ending🤩

Chef Goshi-san is the sake mastermind behind the amazing sake programme. His extensive knowledge and unfolding passion to sake is what making the pairing splendid. His vision is to bring Japanese sake 🇯🇵 to the international stage and showcase what sake has to offer to the world. If you love sake or you want to enjoy a lavish meal, here is your place🌟
After such a tipsy experience, I don’t know I love the food more or the wine more. Goshi-san successfully elevated the entire experience by sake. The elevation was two ways that the food and the sake were both enhanced after the two encountered. The chemistry was different for different course. Some changed the profile while some amplified the characteristic🤯 How amazing and eye opening this meal could be. I truly admire the details behind 🙇🏻 I cannot wait to be back for another stunning experience.
