‘Sushi Hakucho’

To Open in Tsim Sha Tsui This November

 

CHEF HARADA MAKOTO AT WORK


Traditional ‘chef’s choice’ hideaway presents prized sushi

from pristine waters of Japan’s southernmost island

Kyushu-style ‘Omakase’ Restaurant ‘Sushi Hakucho’ is soft opening in Minden Avenue in Tsim Sha Tsui this November, adding a new member to the Bird Kingdom Group, presenting an exquisite yet affordable gourmet experience.  

 

At the cosy ‘chef’s choice’ hideaway Sushi Hakucho, guests are invited to discover the finest, freshest sushi in its seasonal glory from Japan’s southernmost island of Kyushu, artfully hand-crafted by veteran sushi master Harada Makoto.  

Surrounded by the sea, Kyushu is famed throughout Japan and beyond for concerted environmental protection efforts for less pollution – from where Sushi Hakucho is now exclusively sourcing pristine seafood at its seasonal finest, on menus showcasing traditional knifing and preparation skills from the chef’s 30 years’ experience and exquisite presentation.

 

Current early autumn specialties are fish, crab, shellfish and shrimp at its best. These include Sanma from Hokkaido, the undisputed king of seasonal fish in Japan, named “Autumn Sword Fish”, with fresh ocean flavour and succulent texture; Bafun Uni and Aka Uni with a bolder taste that is rich in umami and slightly bitter notes; Japanese Watarigani Blue Crab, at its meatiest and most delicious in colder months; Uchiwa Ebi (Fan Prawn), along with Noble Scallop and Ise Ebi (Spiny Lobster) from Amakusa.

Also on the menu, Kyushu’s Red Wagyu (Kumamoto A5 Wagyu) is famed as the only free-grazing cattle in Japan, richest in healthy monounsaturated fat with sweet rather than greasy taste and serious umami flavour.

 

In accordance with ‘omakase’ tradition, tasting menus are entirely dependent on seasonality of ingredients.  Chef Makoto’s specialty sushis include fresh and sweet squid - Ika and Quail Egg Yolk Sushi, Ika and Urchin Sushi, combining umami flavour of both, and Snakehead Fish Sushi, a prized seasonal eel higher in fat with strong flavour. Pickled Mackerel Sushi features gold award-winning Tsushima mackerel from Kamamoto Prefecture by an ancient, artisan food preservation method.

 

Headlining other exclusive produce at Sushi Hakucho, Kyushu’s native “Hinohikari” rice is more mellow and less sticky in texture than others, and seaweed is from his wife’s family business, one of Japan’s leading producers.

 

Enhancing the ‘omakase’ experience are sakes Chef Mokoto personally selects from Noguchi Naohiko Sake Institute, a renowned brewery launched by Naohiko Noguchi, one of the most famous Tojis (Master Brewers) in Japan, widely known as “The God of Sake Brewing”; including Miyamanishiki, Gohyakumangoku, Aiyama, Junmai, Honjozo and Junmai Daiginjo.

 

Sushi Hakucho is named after the Japanese word for white bird or swan, as well as traditional white cooking pots which are revered in Japanese art culture.  One such antique, with a faded painting of sushi dating back to 1890, is showcased at the restaurant as a symbolic emblem of authentic sushi culture.

 

Bird Kingdom Group Founder and CEO Mr Eric Ting said: “Sushi Hakucho is introducing a unique new ‘omakase’ experience to Hong Kong, focused exclusively on seafood and produce from the pristine waters and land of Kyushu, crafted by one of the island’s most seasoned sushi masters.  For aficionados of sushi and sashimi, this is an exceptional new haven to try.”

 

Seating just 30 in a cosy 800 sq. ft. space, Sushi Hakucho is designed in quintessentially Japanese minimalist style. Pale wood furnishing and fixtures emanate a sense of calm and tranquillity, and a u-shaped open bar seats 14 for guests to interact with the chef.

 

The set ‘omakase’ menu is priced HK$450 per person for lunch and HK$980 per person for dinner, with opening hours 12 –3 pm (Lunch) and 6 pm-midnight (Dinner) daily.

 

Sushi Hakucho is located at G13, Harbour Pinnacle, 8 Minden Avenue, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong – next door to sister Bird Kingdom Group restaurant KIDO, a traditional Fukuoka-style ‘hakata-ku’ skewer bar with convivial, communal ‘kaunta seki’ counter seating typical of ‘yakitori’ chicken skewer cafes in Japan.

 DATOKEEHUACHEE@GMAIL.COM DATO SRI LIOW SOON HEE BECAME A BENEFACTOR OF KUIL SRI MAHA MUNISWARAR HINDU SHRINE WHEN MANI, ONE OF HIS BODYGUARDS, ASKED MALAYSIA'S YOUNGESTV PHILANTHROPIST LAST YEAR IN 2019 IF HEB COULD HELP COMPLETE THE TEMPLE. The little shrine of Lord Muniswarar was built in 1930 as a makeshift place of worship by the first batch of Tamils who settled in Ampang, now called Bandar Baru Ampang. The original is so small, the size of a room, it could not be called a temple. The descendants of the settlers recently pooled their limited resources to build a proper brick and mortar temple but eventually ran out of funds to complete the structure! Everything grounded to a halt. Until Mani, one of the 10 Tamil bodyguards of Dato Sri Liow Soon Hee, asked his boss if he could help. On 27 December 2019 last year before Covid was even born, Dato Sri Liow Soon Hee visited the unfinished temple. He was so impressed by the devotees of Muniswarar and their plight he took 24 hours t...
