Tenkuni (已結業)

几年前在日本京都祗园品尝过家庭式经营的"関西" 风鳗鱼料理，味道回味至今曾经的美味终于可以再在香港寻回了！此店虽然做鳗鱼高级料理，但门口非常隐闭，常常经过加拿芬道的我，却一直没有留意到这道又高又窄的门口上到店内，是很和式的木制装潢 ... 是了 ... 那种在日本用餐的肃静和温暖！急不及待的点了套餐，很快见到穿上和服的侍者送上餐前沙律 ～ 颇鲜嫩的这店的午餐是以迷你怀石形式奉客，所以先有这盘美食，很精致吧！杂锦刺身中的𫠒红、帆立贝、鲹鱼等都颇新鲜，还有酒盗和渍物，前菜真的有够丰富啊主角不久也奉上来了，同样丰盛得让人兴奋！先来喝一口汤，清澈见底，可不是普通面豉汤，是 "肝吸"！那件看上去不太可口的鳗鱼肝，香港甚少见却是爽口带甘润的滋味，鲜甜的汤令人喝得清新舒服附上的茶碗蒸，蛋香滑又充满高汤的甜，碗底有鸡肉、白果、椎茸等，碗面嫩绿的叶上，加放了些干制柚子皮 为原本较清淡的蒸蛋增添了一份独特回甘！当然最重要的，是快快打开那红色盒子 ... 鲜活屠宰的日本鳗重，就呈现眼前足足整条份量，太吸引了这里的鳗鱼饭和别店的分别，在于用上由静冈运送过来的鲜活河鳗，开腹活宰而非用上冰鲜货，而制作时更采用 "関西" 式的直接烤烘方式 ～可口的鳗鱼，皮烧得香脆，肉烤得嫩滑加上那自家制的鳗鱼酱汁，甜香浓郁，真的与别不同！！套餐还附上荞麦面，弹牙滑溜的淀粉质，实在令我吃得撑著肚子你在 facebook 或 IG 等平台，会见到不少人 post 上不同店子的鳗鱼饭图片文字可想而知，这种美食是很多香港人至爱可惜的是，本地吃到的，水准大多不太令人满意更不要说甚么 "関东" 或 "関西" 煮法根本大多只是港式制法我钟爱只烤不蒸的 "関西" 式鳗鱼，一直以来未曾见于香港这天盼望多年的偶遇，当然吃得超满足！但与我在京都吃过的相比，这间香港专门店可说有八成相似剩下两成，就是较清淡的烤鳗酱油，未能因炭烤的化学作用下，而制作出那种焦香浓甜的味道层次另外，那天吃的鳗鱼本身，未算肥美，少了那份鱼脂的香炭烤火喉亦不算太强，少了焦炭香，却令鱼肉质保持软嫩，不会太干，这可能是厨师特意迁就香港人的口味吧不过，这道鳗重已超越本港吃过的所有同类出品想象一下一边看著鱼缸里的日本产鳗鱼一边尝著美味的传统鳗重喜欢吃这道菜的你会不兴奋吗？条件是只要你肯付出四百多港元** 不幸的，店主刚刚公布，因牌照问题，这隐世专门店要另觅地方重开所以我常说当你拥有的时候不要考虑尽情的好好去享受吧…查看更多

在本地要食好的鳗鱼饭，从前有"湖舟"，现在则有这一间"TENKUNI"....店位置隐身于从前龙蛇混杂的香槟大厦中。走进去四围团团转，拐了几个弯才找到了入口....怎知后来才知，原来还有另一个店门口是对著大街斜路加边的....但那道门，睇起来更是不起眼....来得这里，一定是为了鳗鱼。而单叫一客鳗鱼饭，在这里动辄就要花费数百大洋。故此横竖也是要"豪"了，点一个内包有鳗鱼饭的SET，除了有我想吃的UNAGI DON之外还有小钵前菜、刺身、沙律、茶碗蒸、鱼肝清汤、乌冬及咖啡，叫这套餐，当是化算得多了....太太相对上不是太热衷于鳗鱼此道，所以就只点了个天妇罗SET....侍者先上麦茶及毛巾，待甫用热烫的毛巾抹过手，小钵前菜、刺身、沙律便端了上来....沙律菜蛮翠绿鲜爽的，不过个人稍嫌沙律醋汁下得太多出现了喧宾夺主的状况；切成幼条的鱿鱼非常够糯甜软熟，完全没有在吃擦胶的可怕口感；牛蒡十分爽甜；银杏带微甘而没见苦沥、腌高菜味亦不见死咸....刺身两味，个人较爱油花重一点，质感滑嫩的SHIMA AJI；至于色红润的鲭花，个人一向认为它肉质太削太嚡，所以就只浅尝了一点而已.... 好了，令人引首以待的鳗鱼饭卒之登场了....但在品尝之前，先来吃点茶碗蒸及喝一口面豉汤再算....蛋很滑，而且蛋中还蛮特别的添上了不少的果皮丝，吃起来香气就更盛更突出....面豉汤味很温和，没死咸喝至人咯喉；而且汤中还放有若干数量的鱼骨以及鳗鱼肝，入口鲜甜中带微甘苦，很特别....满心期待打开盖，美妙的鳗鱼饭就摆在眼前....鱼肉滑溜，皮脆，蒲烧汁甜而不腻；肉中细骨全被清掉不怕啃喉....说这儿的蒲烧鳗鱼为城中其一最好，实不夸张也....吃蒲烧鳗鱼，一定要有下山椒粉才能尝出风味来的....这儿的名物是烧鳗，其他的相对来讲就普通了，好像这个tempura don便是 ---- 炸浆偏湿淰不是我那杯茶 (尽管食材是够新鲜的)....埋尾的冷乌冬，汤汁色泽清澈而浓郁，配合Q而弹牙的乌冬，乃天仙配也....吃至此，肚已饱到极。和侍者说，可以免不用上咖啡了....…查看更多

今天约了朋友吃饭聊天，朋友是识食之人，我所选的餐厅自然不能令老友失望。这家餐厅所出售的鳗鱼饭都以产自日本静冈县的活鳗烧制，皮脆肉嫩，水准不俗。鳗鱼分为海鳗和河鳗，一般而言，我们在香港餐厅吃的都是海鳗，日本人称为穴子（あなご  anago），肉质软腍，主要用来制作寿司和穴子饭。至于日本人所称的鳗鱼，是指河鳗（うなぎ unagi），油脂较多，丰腴可口。河鳗的价格高于海鳗，在香港要吃到日本所产的活河鳗并不容易。我数年前在袖山先生主理的湖舟吃过以滨名湖鳗鱼烧制的鳗鱼饭，认为质素冠于全港，后来袖山先生离港，湖舟歇业，便再没吃过鳗鱼饭。这家餐厅的装潢典雅，座位之间有纸屏风相隔，饶有日本风格。我所点的套餐包括前菜、蒸蛋、沙律、刺身、鳗肝汤、鳗重、乌冬和咖啡，份量丰足，非常饱肚。鳗鱼烧得微带焦香，肉质纤细而富弹性，新鲜鳗鱼确非雪藏货可比，只可惜不够肥美，缺乏脂香，也许是因为香港租金高昂，餐厅将货就价所致，但整体而言，我还是觉得质素甚佳。与朋友一面享受美食，一面分享喜乐，倾诉烦忧，令人身心放松，可说是短期「充电」，而「充电」就是为了让自己有力面对排山倒海的工作！…查看更多

Tenkuni 天くに is opened by a Japanese owner who frequently travels to Nagoya, one of the most famous areas for serving Fresh water Unagi Eel as a hitsumabushi dish. In his Hong Kong based Restaurant, they source live eels from the equally famed Lake Hamanako in Shizuoka. In Hong Kong this is also the only dedicated restaurant which serves live Japanese eels in a Kaiseki style, along with their Tempura items. I have previously covered this for Japanese Magazine "Concierge" to introduce this unique eel restaurant. Live Eels from Japan, Shizuoka - They are prepared fresh daily in the kitchen, and is the only restaurant to import these expensive and rare ingredients to sell in Hong Kong. Per Japanese eel starts at only HKD $420, which is actually reasonable. Sashimi & Appetizer Course - This is part of the Kaiseki style Set Lunch or Dinner meal, and they import jet set fresh Seafood from Japan for their Sashimi and Tempura courses. Live Kuruma King Prawn Tempura - These are actually prepared live from a tank too, and fried in a thin batter, in a Kansai style. Tempura Abalone - This was prepared quite well and tender. There is also a bit of the abalone liver attached, which is a preparation rarer to find. (For Sushi or Tsumami Sashimi, the Abalone Liver is often made into a sauce..) Double Sea Urchin & Shiso Tempura - A Signature item here, this uses top quality Hokkaido Bafun uni in two ways. 1 Urchin layer is sandwiched between the shiso herbs and fried, and then it is topped with more tongues of raw urchins. The Chef said he wanted customers to taste the urchin in both it's cooked and fresh sweet form. Ingenious.. Live Kabayaki Grilled Eel, from Lake Hamanako, Shizuoka (Whole Eel HKD $420) - The Eel is slaughtered and cleaned from belly up, the only restaurant in Hong Kong to prepare this way properly in Western Japan Kansai style. The eel itself is also not steamed in any of it's preparation, meaning it's grilled directly over heat source until Crispy. This style of true Kansai preparation is unique in Hong Kong, and apparently some customers are used to the more softer steamed then grilled Kantou version. So take note because only true Kansai style Unagi aficionado will truly enjoy this! Kabayaki Kansai style Grilled Live Unagi... The eel meat during early summer is not too fatty nor gelatinous yet, so it has some crisp edges. To those used to eating Unagi the Kantou or Tokyo way, which is steamed at least once, this could be more of the drier mouth feel side but for a reason. Eel Liver Kimosui Soup - Each eel only has 1 liver, and within the HKD $420 price this delicacy in soup is included. If you prefer the Eel to be served on a bed of rice Unaju style, the price increases to HKD $480 simply because both the Chef and Owner said they use the best quality Japanese rice without compromise. Overall, Tenkuni restaurant is one of a kind in Hong Kong. I secretly wished that their Unagi eel can have an option of also being prepared Eastern Kantou style with a steaming process involved, not because I prefer that, but the restaurant might need to be mindful of some customers not being used to this crispier unique version not popularly served outside of Kansai region!Price: HKD $420 to $1200 for Full Kaiseki Dinner Meal + 10% Per PersonFood: ♕♕♕♕ - ♕♕♕♕ 1/2 Address: 尖沙咀加拿分道44号香槟大厦地舖 G/F, Champagne Court, 44 Carnarvon Road, Tsim Sha Tsui Ph: +852 23688842…查看更多

现杀现烧鳗鱼饭，我好怀疑香港有几多家，不得不试。要试就试清楚的，晚饭叫了最贵的厨师发版。所有用料是合格的，对得起千二蚊位呢个价钱，各前菜，煮物，鱼生，牛肉等，味道，㕑功亦无问题，好食，稳稳阵阵但欠缺惊喜。主打嘅鳗鱼饭，烧功真的不错，表皮香脆，可惜用嘅鳗鱼不够肥美，肉质有点干身，油脂亦不足。酱汁味道有层次但亦不会过浓甜。配上那碗鳗肝清汤，在香港水平来说，记忆中已经是我吃过最好的。和经理讨论鳗鱼的问题，他们也知道是不够肥美，但基于成本问题，现在中午一客鳗鱼饭套餐已经要价四百多，再用更好的，价钱客户会完全接受不到！真可惜，就是差那一点点，令水平依然和日本有差距！又要怪香港租金吧！但如果鳗鱼饭瘾超又去唔到日本，还是可以值得试试，顶到一时三刻的…查看更多
