Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR China
From Michelin Guide
The longstanding sushi fixture in Sheung Wan moved to this shopping mall in 2021 and has assumed a bigger footprint. The kitchen team delivers a single menu of great value and rest assured that the fish, mostly wild-caught in Japan, is as good as ever. Yamagata sushi rice is dressed in a special blend of red vinegar for optimal acidity. If you’re lucky, you may even get to taste the live baby cuttlefish which are only available for two weeks each year.
