Closest thing to Japan 🇯🇵 I’ve had in a while. What was just a 4.5 hour flight away now seems unthinkable. Good thing we have restaurants like @sushiyoshihk and chefs like Hiroshi-san to remind us of the amazing food, culture, and ingredients Japan has to offer.

Michelin-starred Chef Hiroki is one of the first internationally renowned Japanese chefs to return to the city during the pandemic to unveil his new 19-course menu. Unlike traditional sushi chefs, Chef Hiroki experiments with modern cooking techniques with the best Japanese ingredients making his Omakase menu one of a kind.

1️⃣ Pictured is Hiroki’s kaki sushi aka the best oyster 🦪 I’ve ever eaten — sous vide paired with his signature sweet soy sauce.

2️⃣ Akagai / Blood Clam — instead of using rice, Chef Hiroki creates a nigiri that elevates the texture of yam with egg yolk

3️⃣ Chef Hiroki doing what he does best! 💗

4️⃣ Kinmedai / Splendid Alfonsino Sushi

5️⃣ Ika / Squid Sushi

6️⃣ Hamaguri Ibonoito Somen — clam soup with somen noodles

7️⃣ Deep Fried Hotate — delicately fried fresh Hokkaido scallops

8️⃣ Awabe Sushi — black lip abalone sushi

About author
Harro everyone. I’ve always been on some sort of social networking platform (from Asian Avenue to Facebook) but i’ve never committed fully to a blog. I’m extremely new to this whole blogging scene so bare with me as I slowly piece things together and experiment with ideas. Telling you a little about myself is probably a good way to start. So here we go! My name is Nicole. I was born and raised in Calgary and have since returned to the mother land, now residing in Hong Kong. I grew up in a semi-traditional household as both my parents immigrated to Canada quite young but still kept their roots intact. My dad is a crazy good cook and my parents were previous restaurant owners. I remember involuntarily sacrificing my summer holidays grindin’ at the restaurant (aka child labour). Apparently, my nimble fingers were the essential tools to wonton wrapping, spring roll rolling and dumpling folding. I don’t follow many food blogs mainly because theres too much reading involved. So basically That Food Cray !!! is exactly how I would want to see a food blog run. Wouldn’t you rather SEE pictures/videos of food than read about food? I don’t want to bore with a novel about how my hamburger tasted. I’m hoping That Food Cray !!! will stand out from the rest visually, creatively, and above all else not create a pretentious foodie platform. Hoping to leave with a happy ending… aka foodgasm. -Nicole
