One of the world’s greatest sushi masters, chef Mitsuhiro Araki, moved to Hong Kong last year to open The Araki in Tsim Sha Tsui – the only Japanese restaurant in Hong Kong with the master chef present throughout the year. Araki achieved three Michelin stars in his restaurants in Tokyo and London.

In Hong Kong, he offers an 18-course omakase menu; Araki and his team prepare dishes in front of diners seated around the 12-seat counter. We enjoyed steamed abalone with shirako, bird’s nest and fish maw; giant grouper liver; Hata and Hokkaido sea urchin, and the chef’s performance of akami, chutoro and otoro tuna. Advance reservations are necessary.
