I had been missing aged sushi since I tried a Michelin restaurant in Roppongi years ago. I was thrilled when I first heard about Yu-en, the first aged sushi restaurant in Hong Kong😍😍😍The decor is full of wood. The sushi bar is a thick piece of natural Japanese cypress. Must be very expensive and hard to source🪵The surface of these wild tuna has turned dark red like aged beef, meaning they have been aged for at least a month😲 About 1/3 of the surface is removed and what we eat is only the most in

The surface of these wild tuna has turned dark red like aged beef, meaning they have been aged for at least a month😲 About 1/3 of the surface is removed and what we eat is only the most intensified part in the middle🤤🤤🤤
We have maguro from Oma that has been aged since Jan 7😲😲😲 Most restaurants only age toro for two weeks but honestly it doesn't make much difference than fresh toro. The one-month aged toro we have here is very soft, creamy and much stronger than farmed tuna. The shoyuduke chutoro is more complex like parma ham and chocolate👍🏻😍😍
The first piece is a 13 days aged mandarin orange snapper, also one of my favorites🍣Very tender and citrus🍊 Chef Takeshi intentionally makes the sushi rice warm and fluffy to match aged fish🐟which is awesome, not flat like most restaurants. Honestly I have never eaten such delicious sushi, not even in Japan!!
Warm dishes are also nicely done😍The abalone is full of sake flavor and the bittersweet abalone liver sauce is the highlight of the dish! The steamed egg custard has a lot of umami and tastes like crustaceans because chef has put a broth made from grilled crab shells in the egg mixture🦀
I can see Yu-en is run by a team that devotes great effort. In summary, food is incredible, seats are spacious and service is excellent🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
