Central Cuisines: Asian, JapaneseAbout
The only thing missing at this traditionally styled Japanese restaurant, with its gleaming woods, tansu chests, woodblock prints, and waitresses decked out in provincial Japanese clothing, are tatami mats. Unfortunately, the tables are so closely packed here that you'd think you were in a Tokyo subway, and the food lacks authenticity. Still, it's good for some R & R between drinking bouts in Lan Kwai Fong and specializes in yakitori (morsels of food barbecued on a stick), with 46 different kinds available and costing HK$25 to HK$100 (US$3.25-US$13/£1.60-£6.50) for a pair. My favorites include asparagus, chicken meatballs, green pepper with minced chicken, and gingko nuts. You can also order fixed-price meals of yakitori (including a vegetarian version), as well as sushi rolls, teppanyaki, tempura, grilled fish, udon noodles, and other typical Japanese fare, along with a dozen different kinds of sake to wash it all down.
