Restaurant 1 of the CWB Japan Challenge – Kouheitsu

CWB Japan Challenge – to try every (decent) Japanese restaurant in CWB (that I haven’t tried) and review them.

Was excited to try the new Sekai no Yamachan in Circle Tower, but turns out they haven’t opened yet (as of early March 2017). As such, we ended up at one of Circle Tower’s nameless, faceless izakaya – Kouheitsu. A fairly local shop, it was very full that weekday night, and we ended seated up at the bar.

Menu was completely standard, with the only unusual dish (as far as I could tell), a deep fried tofu and eel wrap, which to my everlasting surprise, was pretty tasty (my snobby Japanese friend hated it of course).

We ordered a number of other typical things, including ramen salad, yakitori, sushi, etc. Wanted to find something unusual but there really wasn’t much on the menu. Asked for the specialty and they suggested Ox Tongue (which I love but is just so standard)… As for quality and taste – there was one stand-out dish: mentaiko fried rice.

Plenty of mentaiko but interestingly combined with takana pickles for a great combination of slightly sour and salty. Apart from that, nothing incredible nor memorable but neither was anything actually terrible.

Drinks list wasn’t bad, with some interesting beers available by bottle including a few varieties of Coedo, Hitachino and other atypical Japanese beers I can’t remember. However, they unforgivably have no beers on tap - an Izakaya without draft beer??  As for liquor, they have a number of choices for sake and a very limited selection of shochu as well (they had to dig up an off-the-menu bottle for me). Service was friendly, and they put up with quite a bit of my nonsense. No other large complaints. 

Total bill was about $300 / person with quite a bit of food and ordered. Fairly reasonable.

Bottom line: My baseline middle-of-the-road HK CWB izakaya – wouldn’t go back voluntarily but if someone insisted we go, I wouldn’t be too upset either.
