Taku (已結業)

今晚跟E先生兩個人到中環Soho區食日本菜，選址在伊利近街的Taku。我們二人從IFC一路沿著自動扶手電梯上半山，扶手梯兩旁都是各式各樣的酒吧、餐廳，好不熱鬧。終於到達伊利近街，Taku的店舖門面裝潢設計採用傳統日本小店的門面風格，跟旁邊四周的西式餐廳風格截然不同，特別得來又很有日本老店的風味。由於E先生已一早於預定座位時要求日式卡位，加上是晚我們是最早到達的客人，因此毫無疑問我們就坐進了寬敞舒適的日式卡位。 坐下後，我們就馬上看餐牌點菜，Taku的外籍侍應對餐牌不是太熟悉，最終給我們找來說廣東話的女侍應，女侍應不但和藹有禮，還對自家店舖的食物非常熟識，值得一讚。Taku所提供的熱茶是玄米茶，粒粒玄米浮在熱茶面層，咬下去時韌韌的，很有趣。我點了一杯Taku Cocktail，而E先生因為要駕車，所以只能喝Taku Signature Mocktail。Green Apple Saketini $60這杯cocktail是青蘋果蓉+sake+調酒，一入口就喝到青蘋果香甜而微帶酸的味道，反而sake的味道不濃烈，好喝而且很合口味。 Apple Lemonade $42這杯以蘋果、紫蘇葉、檸

由於soho距離太遠 很多人不想行往往錯過了這一區許多隱藏的小餐廳直至搬到附近 小妹才發現這家日本菜其實好抵食!!不能不介紹 這裡的 set lunch份量十足 用料新鮮山葵是新鮮磨的 自己添加的醬油 帶鮮味 不太咸 魚生又厚又大片 大大碗珍珠飯絕無欺場小妹 喜愛三色飯(三色: 海膽, 碎吞拿魚腩, 蟹腳)很難得 海膽只帶少量海水味三樣魚生混合一起 非常好吃這次還叫軟殼蟹卷軟殼蟹炸得 金黃香脆亦食出蟹有稍微醃製過有少少辣味 不像平時粘上麵糊 便拿去炸至少每月一次 小妹都會來這裡吃午飯喜歡他們上菜的時間快 亦不用等位可以在一小時內食完午飯後 回office在附近工作的中環人 不妨有空來試試!

是日約食飯, 食完MANGO TREE, 火氣好大, 找點清淡的菜式.三人行又經SOHO, 同事G說就這吧!進, 點了一客三色飯, 內有海膽, 碎TORO,蟹柳, 2片玉子.玉子水水的, 差...海膽新鮮, 不夠海味, 量好多, 吃得開心蟹柳鮮甜,不錯碎TORO, 魚味不夠, 好清淡WASABI八爪魚, 過量WASABI...同事的牛極熟, MEDIUM RARE,來的卻是MEDIUM WELL DONE也有突,基本上就是WELL DONE. 午市ANGUS已經一般以下, 加上火唔洗錢...再來機會不高, 這價錢有太多更好

今日早上勁忙,決定中午食餐好既獎下自己~!走上SOHO,見到有日本野就決定入去一入去空冇一日,12點半俾小弟包場!上OPENRICE一睇,食評可以,就叫個精選午餐前菜是:海帶沙拉,味道有趣,算清爽,合格吞腩他他,味道不錯,不過是吞腩加分,SAUCE沒什麼特別壽司普通,但掃醬油的掃子很可愛 其他主菜不太值得打字甜品的黑芝麻雪糕不錯吃芝麻味夠後來不夠飽份量少得可憐單點一個自家製三味豆腐, 但石膏粉味道重,豆味不夠,但樣子挺好看的中環有更好的選擇,中午應不會再來有機會試試晚餐相+影片後補

談了超過一個月，終於夾到日子與靚女J在SOHO吃頓悠閒午餐。講到SOHO，自然而然地會想起異國風味的西餐，但這天J推介的卻是日本菜，於是我才知道，原來區內也有正宗又有風味的日本餐廳! 位於伊利近街的TAKU，除了環境優美富日本風情，其特色豆腐料理、燒物及良好服務態度，均令人留下深刻印象，以下慢慢介紹。 　當日很早抵達店內，店內空無一人，正好給我慢慢欣賞店內和式風情。TAKU的Mangaer Kathy非常親切，大概見我大著肚子，先由靠走廊的二人位，幫我們換成較闊落的四人檯，後來更替我們轉到四人日式卡位，既舒適好坐又有氣氛。在J的陪同下，開餐前先來到刺身吧檯參觀：除了豐富的酒陣及新鮮刺身，這裡還有一袋袋的大豆，原來此店的豆腐都是自家製的，很有誠意；另一邊廂，師傅又向我們展示是日特產---日本來貨的蟹仔，紅色的小蟹比一元硬幣還要小，仍然生猛，當日也點了一客來嚐嚐。　回到卡位上，發現檯上的醬油並非倒出來，而是連著一把小掃，由食客自行掃上食物的，別有風味。這裡奉客也用上玄米茶，健康又可口，連menu設計也特別可愛，予人感覺極好。首先每人一杯特色mocktail，是日二人都要了Tofu Momo

八月三日 (星期三)靚女Vica早前找我們兩位為食家試日本菜誤打誤撞,選正了我生日(TENJOUBI)那個晚上是緣份,上天早已安排一席師傅發辦(OMAKASE)為我慶祝TAKU位於中環SOHO區,那裡日式食肆不多,因此也吸引不少老外此店最出名的不是魚生壽司燒物,而是其每日限量的自家製豆腐早前已經有飲食雜誌介紹過,想不到我們那麼快便可親口一試事不宜遲,先來過前菜熱熱身共有五款小食,造型十分精緻,很考勁夫的五款小食中,最好的要數澤蟹也是最不願意吃的,因為俢飾得實在太美原隻入口,加入了青檸汁既醒胃,又鮮味滿溢,在口中盪漾了好一陣子百合豆也是較特別的乃在最當造的時候用人手採摘入口即化,味清甜,很特別!!!在市面吃到的海鰻大都是淡水養的這裡賣的卻是從海裡活捉的,身薄肉嫩,海水味豐左口魚很新鮮,很清甜在白身魚中算是較濃味海鮮包括海膽,帶子和三文魚籽帶子集爽口嫩滑於一身,鮮味濃郁伴上每粒都是脹卜卜的三文魚籽,十分juicy海膽很不幸,就此成為了配角幾片金薄點綴,令到整體感覺特別搶眼奪目螺肉惹味,肉質細嫩而爽口期待已久的自家製豆腐終於登場採用東北黃豆,用了日本鹽滷而棄用石膏粉,更能控制豆腐的含水量以上

No bookings, just waltzed in on a Friday evening, and we were given a table upstairs which was preferable as it was quieter. We ordered a bunch of things, and of course couldn't resist a cold tofu with tuna, and a steamed one with crabmeat, though unfortunately the waitress forgot our cold tofu order (which was the one I was looking forward to more). We ordered 2 cold appetisers of cucumbers and eggplants seperately, and there was also a free tofu/tomato combo. Then came the vegetable skewers (

I had a lunch there few days ago. The service was pretty fast and good. I was not too crazy about their Chirashi. The fish was pretty fresh, but I was really disappointed with the sushi rice and egg, which are the basics when it comes to sushi. The décor is really nice and the price is fair. There are not many good Japanese around that area, so I would go again, but I hope they will improve their rice.

The food there is fine. The decor is nice. Staff is fine.I just don't like the fact that they have smoking seat outside and they do not close the entrance door. People smoke crazy outside and the smokes just blow into the restaurant.When I asked them to close the door, they did not close it. I tried to close it myself, they did not allow me to close it.Bottom-line is... if you want clean air, don't go there.Personally feeling... I don't like how I was treated. It's like kindergarden kids fight..

之前行SOHO時, 見到TAKU有我最愛的美點, 所以決定情人節日要求去品嘗.我地booking 6pm, 比預期提早到達, 仍然準備中, 所以係門口坐下, take pictures...6pm就開門, 我急不及待就order了, 我果兩碟最愛Kawahagi (雞泡魚乾) + Beef Tongue這兩味水準very good, 我好like, 有encore的沖動! 由於, 我們是Valentine's Day 的首對customer, 所以sushi chef送了我們一瓶梅sake. 令我地食得非常開心.我地叫了:uni + salmon sashimi (uni好味, 男友原本唔like, 都比佢一個獨食sa ~)Basket 'Farm House' Home-made Tofu (so far so good, 無什麼特別)Kawahagi (雞泡魚乾, 味道剛剛好, 唔會over heat, 正)Japanese Spinach Salad with Seasame sauce (ok la~~)Tamago Sashimi (原本以為係即叫即整, 原來係預先整好, 凍

通常，食Halloween餐多數係西餐廳，但呢次D friend提議去日本餐廳，咁就試吓la. 第一樣試嘅菜式係黑飛魚籽辣味鱆紅魚卷，外觀似乎有點嚇人，黑魚子及辣椒醬佈滿整件壽司，鱆紅魚質感比軟柔軟， 但味道夠辣和新鮮炸牡丹蝦柚子海鮮沙律，用炸麵條當裝飾，兩只大蝦天婦羅作鬼爪從墓穴亂枝處爬出來， 刺身及生菜化作墓地。新鮮柚子肉加沙律醬汁帶點甜味, 非常清新可囗。三色麵豉燒自家製豆腐，三種不同的麵豉配搭自家製燒豆腐, 外脆內軟, 讓你品嚐與別不同的口味燒日本一夜干魷魚，只加了少許salt 去燒，非常之有魷魚嘅原味紅豆自家製豆腐甜品，一次過有三種味道─紅豆、豆腐及煉奶，非常有趣。女士們一定鍾意食佢地仲有鬼太郎sake，聽餐廳經理講，全港九只得佢地有得賣jar!

這星期的Rhodes across China講述廣西的一些農家菜，一道與順德銅盤蒸雞的藥膳蒸雞柳，在家不難做，但用上枸杞、紅棗及黨參等材料烹調，對鬼佬來說是另一世界的事。看完整集，最感興趣還是自家製豆腐，此品要有天然山水加上適合土壤下種出的黃豆，才能做出軟滑而有濃郁豆香的豆腐，想起年前開業的Taku，說採用東北豆做的自家冷豆腐，然而缺乏優質淨水及技術，成品出來亦非想像中的滿有豆香，士別大半載，今天小店已不再以此為招徠了。

First of all,this is my first time dining in Taku Japanese Restaurant. To me,first impression counts before food. The service staffs is very friendly and polite when i enter the restaurant. The place is very cosy as well. Next was the food served in the restaurant,the tofu was average but the sashimi was excellent,it's very fresh and delicious too,not to say their sushi as well.This restaurant is a MUST go if you loves sashimi and it's also an ideal place for couples who wants a quiet yet cosy p

Been there on Saturday and totally agree with the comments about this restaurant. Services bad, food quality nothing special but just typical Japanese Food which I could have it anywhere beside SOHO. The price like this i would have a better restaurant than this. Especially on the services, feel so local of those waitress or maybe manager. Don't really know what they are....but anyway, overall for those foods. I would not get back and try it again. Nothing special for me and my friends at all. T

The selling point for Taku is their homemade Tofu. I really think the restaurant is using this as a gimmick to attract customers and the tofu is overrated. We ordered one of each tofu to try, and I didn't find the flavors to be outstanding, and really couldn't tell why their tofu is superior. Did you know the wet market in Central and probably every market in HK sells homemade fresh tofu? I think the fresh tofu from the market taste pretty much the same as Taku's tofu. Aside from tofu, w
