Sushi Kumogaku

Hong Kong-born chef Chan Wing-Kin helms the bar of Sushi Kumogaku, representing a wave of young local chefs who are diligently continuing the long tradition of sushi while adding their own subtle touches to the craft that are unique to the city.

 

With chef Chan Wing-Kin manning the counter, this 18-seater rivals the best omakase restaurants in town, rooted as it is in the centuries-old Edomae-style sushi tradition. A procession of pristine nigiri and creative raw and cooked dishes delivers a memorable meal, honed by time-honoured Japanese cooking techniques. Each bite is accompanied by an explanation of the sourcing and preparation, and it’s clear from the get-go that every component has been carefully considered to enhance the natural flavours of the fish. Diners can expect to be delighted with rare, seasonal ingredients on each visit; in winter, we were served baby salmon from Rausu in Hokkaido, presented with a special pin indicating its distinctive provenance and age. A wide range of wine and sake rotates regularly, available by the bottle or carafe.
