  The restaurant is distinguished by its exceptional sake program, where each course is thoughtfully paired with sake served at the ideal temperature.

• Fusion of Japanese Kaiseki with Cantonese Influences

The most honored and signature ingredients at Michelin-starred Godenya in Hong Kong reflect its deep Japanese roots and its unique focus on sake pairing. Key ingredients and their significance include:

• Kawahagi (Filefish): Featured in signature dishes, this delicate fish is prized for its subtle flavor and texture, often paired with sake to highlight its umami.

• Shirako + Yuzu: Shirako (cod milt) combined with yuzu citrus creates a refined balance of creamy richness and bright acidity, enhancing the sake experience.

• Karasumi (Dried Mullet Roe): Used in dishes like Karasumi Soba, this ingredient brings a luxurious, salty depth that complements the nuanced flavors of sake.

• Eel "Soup": A dish that showcases the rich, savory qualities of eel, designed to harmonize with carefully selected sake temperatures and types.

• Lotus Root + Kinki Fish: This pairing highlights textural contrast and seasonal Japanese ingredients, crafted to elevate the sake pairing journey.
