A Solo Indulgence in Sheung Wan

Recently, I enjoyed a luxurious omakase meal at Sushi Rin in Sheung Wan. The fresh, seasonal ingredients were mainly sourced from Japan, including Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Okinawa 🇯🇵, making it feel like being in Japan while in Hong Kong. Each piece of sushi was prepared and paired with unique methods and seasonings, offering delightful surprises 👍🏻. The chef provided detailed explanations for every piece. Sitting at the counter, I could savor the food while admiring the chef's craftsmanship~ 🍣 Mikan Sea Bream: Sea bream fed with mikan peel, offering a subtle sweet aroma. 🍣 Squid: Slightly sticky texture, enhanced with the refreshing taste of yuzu peel. 🍣 Akagai from Iwate Prefecture: Thick and bouncy texture. 🍣 Deep-sea Pool Fish: Rich and tender, with delicate and flavorful fat. 🍣 Seared Black Cod: Full of oiliness, complemented with a touch of Kyoto scallion for an extra layer of aroma. 🍣 Yellowtail from Kagoshima: Paired with yuzu pepper sauce, fresh, tender, and springy. 🍣 Chutoro: Softer than usual, as the chef explained, it comes from closer to the belly, making it extra tender and sweeter. 🍣 Akami Tuna: From the back, marinated in oil to enhance its umami flavor, making it even more pronounced. 🍣 Pool Fish with Ginger Paste: A novel combination that surprisingly works perfectly. 🍣 Mackerel: Extremely fresh, paired with a slice of pickled kelp for a refreshing and sweet taste. 🍣 Sea Urchin: Incredibly sweet and generously served (😆). 🍣 Tuna Tartare Hand Roll: Satisfying with crispy seaweed, soft and fluffy tartare, and some scallions inside, creating a burst of layers. The set also included salad, steamed egg, soup, and dessert. With a 30% lunch discount, it cost less than $500 per person. Highly recommended! Great value!
