There are quite a few Japanese restaurants near my office in Central, and I try to go to different ones in rotation instead of sticking to my favourite ones in case I get bored of them.

Hanagushi, which relocated from Lan Kwai Fong to M88 in May 2012, is a homely, cosy restaurant that specialises in yakitori.
Even though the restaurant can get a bit packed during lunch hour, their lunch menu is more extensive than those at many other Japanese restaurants in Central, with dishes such as sushi, sashimi, yakitori, beef, Japanese curry and rice available.
(1) The Minced Toro with onion Sushi Rice ($200) had an alluringly fatty taste and a smooth texture that was nicely broken up by the chopped onions.
(2) The Fried Sliced Beef Set ($195) was also tangy and satisfying.
(3) However, it is the Red Bean Paste & Mochi ($25) which keeps me coming back to this place. The red bean paste had the right level of sweetness and the perfect consistency, without being overly watery or mushy. The grilled mochi had an excellently crispy surface, and was wonderfully gelatinous - it is a pretty addictive dessert if you like chewy foods as much as I do!
Hanagushi may not offer the best value for money or the finest Japanese food in the area, but it is certainly decent enough for me to come here every once in a while.Other Japanese restaurant reviews on my blog: http://www.stephs852diary.com/?cat=258
