Kanesaka Hong Kong occupies the 5th floor of CCB Tower in Central, a counter-only Edomae sushi room built around a long hinoki bar and a handcrafted kumiko wood ceiling. The restaurant carries one Michelin star and belongs to the Kanesaka lineage founded by Shinji Kanesaka in Tokyo.
Head Chef Seiji Taniguchi trained at Sushi Kanesaka's Tokyo Palace Hotel branch under Chef Kikuchi Shunsuke, a protégé of founder Shinji Kanesaka, before taking the helm in Hong Kong. His omakase focuses on Edomae technique, with particular attention to aging and ripening ingredients before they reach the counter.
Omakase runs HKD 2,980 per person. Both lunch and dinner service are offered, with seating strictly at the counter. The restaurant is open Monday through Saturday, with lunch from 12:00 to 15:00 and dinner from 19:00 to 23:00 (19:30 start on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings); it is closed on Sunday. An English menu is available, and bookings are taken by phone. Reservations are considered very hard to secure, so advance planning and early calls are advisable.
