Wagyu Kaiseki Den

Wagyu Kaiseki Den is an exclusive high end Japanese Kaiseki restaurant in Sheung Wan. Its the first Japanese restaurant in Hong Kong to earn a Michelin star and has since consecutively kept its Michelin star for the past 6 years! They're the masterminds behind Rozan and Wagyu Takumi. Its just as pricey too. It set us back HKD$1888 a person fot the omakase tasting menu which is a mix between the finest sushi, sashimi and hot foods. So...is it worth the price?I didn't include all the pictures due

I didn't include all the pictures due to shaky hands, hungry stomach...but I'll let you know what they were.

 We started the evening with a sea bream marinated in Kelp flavoured sea urchin, red taro stem and slatered in a sweet and nutty sesame sauce. Look at how pretty it is.
Next came a Hot Egg Custard (not pictured) topped with Abalone tea beans in a seaweed sauce.

 The 'Sudachi' clear soup came next. But its not your typical "teapot soup."

 It was loaded with Conger-pike eel, sweet corn with shrimp dumplings, Matsutake mushrooms, gingko nuts and a Sudachi clear soup. I personally love 'teapot soup' and I absolutely loved the flavourful soup and devoured all its delicious seafood and veggies.

 Look at those plump pieces of sweet sea urchin, loaded with lots of fragrant black truffle rice. You mix it into the clay pot rice...and I can NOT explain HOWWWWWWWWW AH-MAZING this smelled and tasted. I loved every little single bite of it. Amaze-balls!

 Then the most mouth watering charcoal grilled wagyu tenderloin, sirloin and vegetables were served! I loved how juicy and plump the tenderloin sirloin was. There was a subtle smokey hint and it was perfectly heavenly.
Last was the dessert: a coffee pudding with vanilla ice cream, warabi mochi cake and chestnut.
It was an amazing feast!! It definitely is expensive, but my gosh...this place is GOOD.
