Apparently, this little Izakaya shop does not allow photoshoots, so sorry about the lack of photos. One'll however not regret visiting here to experience the food. I've had a fair few dishes from here that are interesting, whereas some probably will not suit everyone's tastebud. There are certainly many dishes here with an acquired taste, requiring a bit of open mindedness and experimental approach. Personally, I will put almost anything into my stomach, I just love eating too much.. Brillat
Some recommended dishes for trying and heaps more I haven't tried either - some of them may not necesarily please everyone, but in my opinion most dishes here are executed to a very satisfactory standard. I might have remembered some names wrong and if possible they're written in Chinese or English. Please check yourself:
きょうりと赤かぶ - Some pickled cucumber and a vegetable belong to the beetroot family.
梅貝煮 - cooked but cold 螺. Cleaned thoroughly and usually quite a fresh, bitey texture.
障泥烏賊 - raw oval squid, a sweet Ika. Its actually used in famous Japanese sushi restaurants, even Michelin 3 Star ones, however its known to have a chewy texture. Done nicely by the chef with a bit of salad garnish, slices of myoga, grated wasabi, etc.
蓮根はさみ揚げ - Sandwiches of chicken meat, shiso and lotus. Sometimes, when cut too thick, certain pieces might be undercooked. When done correctly however, I really like this.
春菊の胡麻和え - Instead of spinach, using the slightly more powerful tasting 春菊, which is similar in taste to '唐O'.
焼き薩摩揚げ - Just realised reviewed below recommended this as well. Luckily, not one of the commercial, Toy'S'Rus texture like fish cakes. Great.
金山寺わさび - Sweetish beans and wasabi pickles with Cucumber pieces. I love this but its both sweet and hot.
梅くらげ - a Plum pickle/tsuke dish with little black pieces of what I think are jellyfish. Not sure, but goes perfect with rice. I have a craving for this all the time, buts it not always on the specials menu.
潤めいわし丸干し - Similar to Shishamo but this is more like a marinated sardine then grilled. Deep flavour but no fish roes.
黒豚TONKATSU - Deep Fried pork. I've had the best tonkatsu in HK in this shop so far, but its not consistent. Sometimes its top of the world albeit thin. Sometimes its really oily. Nevertheless, I'll take the gamble but perhaps not at the end of the night or on busy Friday nights, when the frying oil isn't at its freshest, best state.
若さぎ南蛮漬け/天ぷら - A smallish pond smelt fish, either marinated or tempura fried.
白魚唐揚げ - Deep Fried 白飯魚, aka 鴻星 style but bigger and much better! 佐酒良物!
油揚げ納豆包み揚げ - Fried tofu pockets with natto inside.
磯辺餅 - Seaweed with mochi. Can have this in a lot of shops too.
鱚しそ包み塩焼き - This is a whiting fish (I think) wrapped with shiso leaves then fried. Love this.
串焼き - 牛 Tongue or 鳥 very good standard. 砂肝 a little bit tough. TSUKUNE soft bones with chicken mince meet not recommended, its not good here - how disappointing as I usually love this.
ほっけ or 鯖塩焼き - These grilled fishes also good, but the first isn't recommended for Hong Kong people despite it being one of the staple foods for poor Japanese families haha.
秋田こまち - Good Japanese rice too.
Overall, the standard of the food in this shop is very high indeed plus as you can see, there're many varieties - what I've mentioned are not even 30% of the dishes here I think. It'll take me 1 year to eat them all haha!
Food range from high '2', high '3', high '4' to low '5', most in the 4 range.
