The universal appeal of sushi is quite amazing - as long as the menu mentions omakase, people will flock to the newest spot in town in the hopes of being transported to seafood heaven! Skillful preparation or not (and unfortunately, in Hong Kong, it’s more often ‘not’), sushi is just too eye-catching! ———— 🍣 Omakase 📍 Sushi Yonjugo 🇭🇰 G/F, 35B Staunton, Central ———— #dflCentral #dflHK

🇭🇰 Sushi Yonjugo is the latest cozy 9-seater housed in Soho, helmed by veteran chef Milton Lau, previously of Tokyo's Kyubey and Hong Kong's renown Kenjo and Koshoku. Our flight kicked off with scrumptious sashimi offerings including the Hokkaido conch with black truffle paste, topped in white truffle which was a aromatic crunch, while the akamatsu - infused with sakura-wood smoke in a dome, worked harmoniously with the flavorful fish and shiso edible flowers. Meanwhile, its nigiris were all met with a higher neta to shari ratio with a dual of fish-oil filled aburis, while the uni was an odd pairing of bafun topped with murasaki. We did however, admire the ootoro with its signature creaminess, but bolder here through a 10-day ageing process. With a name denoting a 45-degree bow in Japanese culture, Yonjugo is an epic feat of top quality ingredients. While our love resided towards its openers, execution here is overall strong; yet it feels less of a reserved bow of subtlety - but rather explosive punches in each dish, all dressed to impress.

--45度我淨係諗起sin cos系列--. . . At first I was like…why it is called sushi Yonjujo (basically sushi 45 lol), and now I know! It’s actually inspired by 🙇🏻‍♂️Saikeirei (a 45-degree bow symbolising utmost respect and gratitude in 🇯🇵Jap culture). Only 9 seats inside so it’s just another sushi place that’s hard to get a seat EVER. Most of the ingredients were fresh from Japan and It would have arrived the resto before 10am! 👨‍🍳Chef Milton Lau (維師傅) there is sooo kind and is willing to explain everything. Learnt a lot about the ingredients from him! He also worked in Kyubey in Japan before and was even in SF! I love the Ootoro that he aged for 10 days (the 6th cut - he said he could do 7 cuts of tuna and each cut has a different fat ratio / flavor! ) It’s really intriguing! Everything is fresh and maybe a bit too lively - I can show you the dancing 🦐shrimp sushi if you want LOL. Anyways I like Kegani especially when I don’t need to de-shell it, so it’s perfect for me! And LOOK at that UNI double decker - a combo of bafun uni and rishiti-to uni. Chef also put a pinch of special plum salt on top to bring out the natural sweetness. . Some of the dishes that are the highlights! 沖繩鳥冰吹鯛薄切 大分佐賀關鯖魚 毛蟹 伊勢海女青邊鮑壽司 活車海老壽司 三重海老壽司 10天熟成大善吞拿魚腩壽司 . You can TRY to book on the 1st of every month and see if you are ☺️lucky!.
