Sushi Shikon


Awarded three Michelin stars in the 2014 Hong Kong/Macau Michelin Guide, Sushi Shikon is the quintessential Ginza sushi experience, now available in Hong Kong.


Sushi Shikon is the first branch of Sushi Yoshitake in Ginza, founded by Master Chef Masahiro Yoshitake, which has been holding three Michelin stars in Tokyo since 2012. Each day, the finest fresh ingredients are flown to Hong Kong live from Tokyo’s famous Tsukiji market, and extraordinary lengths have been taken to provide not just world-class Japanese cuisine, but also a complete cultural experience. The restaurant is overseen by executive chef Yoshiharu Kakinuma, who worked with Chef Yoshitake in Tokyo for several years before taking over Sushi Shikon in Hong Kong.


Dining at Sushi Shikon is an unforgettable experience, served in an intimate atmosphere, where guests interact with and observe the master chefs craft each dish over the course of a two-hour meal from just across a beautiful, 8-seat wooden Hinoki counter.

Giando


Located on the first floor of Fenwick Pier, GIANDO Italian Restaurant & Bar commands an impressive view of Hong Kong skyline. It was only fitting to call the new restaurant GIANDO – short for ‘Giandomenico’, Caprioli’s first name.


The restaurant is a minimalist on decoration as the main focus is primarily on the menu, which makes good use of freshly imported Italian produce. “All too often restaurants with a view use it to cover up poor-quality food, and this won’t be the case for Giando” the chef-owner said. The restaurant is in prime location to take advantage of the soon-to-be-completed waterfront development, which is already offering benefits with the nearby Tamar government site’s road network giving improved access to Fenwick Pier.

His association with Italy’s rich and famous was established in 1998 while cooking for exclusive resort hotels including Hotel Oberosler, Dolci Hotels and Castello di Montegridolfo. In 2000, he left for Los Angeles for the opening of the famous Osteria Angelini. It was here that his skills were discovered by the Agnelli family – who took him as their personal chef.
