“Creative sushi lovers, especially those who have been to Sushi of Gari in New York, will be delighted to find this hidden gem in Stanley Street”
Gyotaku is the time honored, traditional Japanese art of fish printing, captured on a piece of shoji paper as a keepsake. The process is extremely delicate and artistic... just like the food served. When you hear a dish is made of seared foie gras with mango sauce, you probably wouldn’t picture it as sushi. But here at Gyotaku, Hong Kong’s newest creative sushi restaurant, a little knob of vinegared-rice makes for the perfect blank slate for a slew of new flavors.
Gyotaku opened its doors on Stanley Street in January, targeting higher end sushi-lovers with artful creations. Owner John Liang wanted “a team of chefs that can produce great tasting dishes for the Hong Kong taste bud with innovative ideas while adding a slightly modern twist to traditional Japanese food.” Only the freshest ingredients are used - sourced from Canada, Australia, Taiwan, Spain and Brazil – and dishes are painstakingly crafted from scratch, everything from the fruit-based curry sauces to the popular homemade fruit sake.
For HK$288, you’ll enjoy a special 9-course creative tasting menu for TWO, inclusive of service charge…
