•黄アジ (天草)
Golden Aji from Amakusa
•サメガレイ
Roughscale Sole, with Meat & Engawa fin. Slightly torched
•🌟甘海老 唐墨
Sweet Prawns with shaved Karasumi Mullet roe
•🌟甲イカ.エゾバフンウニ
Signature 2 thin pieces of Kou Ika Cuttlefish, sandwiched with Hokkaido Sea Urchin
•酢の物: 刺身くらげ.キュウリ "ビニールハウス栽培"
Jellyfish with green house Cucumber. For a Sunomono dish, this was way too sharp acidic, 有啲嗆喉嚨. The Jellyfish quality was very good but this off balance really spoiled the quality! 🙄
•金目鯛
Kinmedai Alfonsino. Served non-torched on the skin. A bit bland this piece
•北寄貝
Hokkigai Surf Clam
•天然 真鯖 (三重県)
Wild Saba Mackerel with Shiro Kombu, Sesame. Taste again when considered in unison, was all over the place. The vinegar/salt in the mackerel, the off sweet shari, etc
•鮪 大トロ 17日熟成
17 days Aged Otoro Tuna belly. Quite meltingly oily but frankly, not much aging flavors detectable compared to others practicing same
•バフンウニ ドック
Sea Urchin in Seaweed 😢. These had nearly no sweetness taste, except for myoban preservatives bitterness, also slightly melty. Weren't told where these came from, but it tasted like those worser Russian Urchins finally packaged in Hokkaido for wholesale. *I understand this is compromised in my Lunch Set, but anyway just saying as it is
•手巻き 鰤, ネギトロ, ごま
Hand roll with Buri, Negitoro, Sesame, Scallions etc. Not much character & taste
•お吸い物 舞茸
Maitake soup. Decent but surprisingly slightly oily in mouthfeel for an osuimono
•🌟 青森県 Aomori Apple Sorbet
This was surprisingly very good, with both fresh & also almost Caramelized apple taste within, complex!

Overall this $800 Lunch set, especially with a few of my previous Winter dinner bookings cancelled, was good CP Value for sure. It just so happened that I found the tuning of the otsumami/sushi to be a bit all over the place to my liking. This isn't helped by the fact that some seafood they source is unique, but a few tasted farmed, which could not actually handle the extra accent from the added Seasonings which might be trying hard to impress. The Aging didn't had a major effect either! Come if u want to try some unique seafood in HK context. But personally a bit off my usual spectrum range 😬
