Goshima Shinya’s masterful temple to sake is not the kind of restaurant you stumble across, but make purposeful strides toward, despite it being hidden down a dark, narrow alleyway. The highly seasonal menu of Japanese dishes with the occasional Hong Kong-inspired twist offers flavours rarely seen anywhere else, and it’s all matched with an equally fascinating sake journey—or should we say rather that the impressive wines are matched with food designed to complement them? At Godenya, the sake cannot live without food and vice versa; together, they create the most exceptional experience.
