Exquisite Culinary Experience at "Hana Asahi Tsuki"

This time, I visited "Hana Asahi Tsuki," a hidden gem of fine Japanese dining in Tsim Sha Tsui 🚇 for dinner. They specialize in high-quality and refined Omakase 🇯🇵. I chose the "Omakase Moon" menu ($1580), which features a meticulously crafted selection of dishes from appetizers to desserts, blending the chef's creativity with premium ingredients. Every bite was a delight, truly a feast for the taste buds! 😋 The appetizer of snow crab leg meat paired with abalone was beautifully presented. 🦀 The snow crab leg meat was incredibly sweet and fresh, and when combined with the chewy abalone, the oceanic flavors 🌊 were doubled, instantly awakening my appetite! 🤤 Next came the flounder sashimi 🫧, revealed after a bubble burst. Thinly sliced flounder wrapped around delicate white shrimp 🦐, paired with a touch of bamboo charcoal salt 🧂 and luxurious caviar, enhanced by the aroma of shiso flowers. 🐟 The texture and flavor layers were incredibly rich! The Nagasaki Karei oyster 🦪 was plump and brimming with the intense taste of the sea 🌊! The chef added a hint of lemon juice 🍋 to enhance the flavor, making it fresh, creamy, and irresistibly smooth. 👍 The salmon roe and sea urchin cup 🥰 was extraordinary, featuring a generous amount of soy-marinated salmon roe 🟠 paired with ultra-creamy and rich Hokkaido 🇯🇵 Nemuro Bafun sea urchin, topped with a hint of 🍊 yuzu zest for a refreshing touch. The burst of fresh and sweet flavors was simply phenomenal! 💡 The ark shell sashimi 🐚 was crisp and sweet, and the accompanying ark shell liver sauce 😋 was incredibly rich. When eaten together, 👏 the flavors reached new heights. Hokkaido 🦀 hairy crab meat and crab roe paired with Hokkaido 🇯🇵 saltwater sea urchin perfectly captured the essence of the ocean 🌊. The delicate hairy crab meat mixed with the rich crab roe 😍, combined with the sweet saltwater sea urchin, and wrapped in crispy seaweed, delivered an ultimate burst of oceanic flavor in every bite! 😆 The main course of the day 🏯 was A5-grade Hokkaido Tokachi Wagyu beef 🥩 served with Domyoji rice. The A5 Wagyu beef had stunning marbling, and 🔥 the chef's precise control of the heat resulted in a slightly charred exterior and a melt-in-your-mouth texture 🤤. The beef's rich aroma filled my mouth, and the soft and sticky 🍚 Domyoji rice absorbed all the beef juices, making it indulgent yet immensely satisfying! The sushi course featured ten pieces 🍣, freshly prepared by the chef. The rice temperature, vinegar ratio, and thickness of the fish slices 🐟 were all perfectly balanced! Tonight's selection included: 🔸 Sea bream 🔸 Silver cod with black truffle sauce 🔸 Scallop 🔸 Shizuoka Mt. Fuji white salmon 🔸 Deep-sea pool fish with yuzu pepper 🔸 Hokkaido geoduck 🔸 Hokkaido Abashiri Kichiji rockfish 🔸 Shikoku tuna akami marinated in soy sauce with ginger flower shreds 🔸 Kochi prefecture's Otoro 🔸 Hokkaido red sea urchin hand roll with sea salt Highlights: Silver cod 🐟 with black truffle sauce: The silver cod was rich and oily, and 🍄 the black truffle sauce added a bold aroma, pairing perfectly! Shizuoka Mt. Fuji 🗻 white salmon: The texture was firm, and 🐟 the flavor was elegant and refined, exuding a sense of luxury 😊. Hokkaido 🏯 Abashiri Kichiji rockfish: Known as the king of fish, 🐟 its rich oils were lightly seared 🔥, releasing a fragrant aroma. It melted in the mouth, truly a masterpiece! Shikoku tuna 🐟 akami marinated in soy sauce with ginger flower shreds: The soy sauce marinade was well-balanced, 😋 enhancing the tuna's flavor, while the ginger flower shreds added a refreshing touch 🌼, achieving perfect harmony. Kochi prefecture's 🤩 Otoro: Thick, sweet, and uniquely fragrant, 🐟 it was rich and delicious! The finale, Hokkaido 😍 red sea urchin hand roll: Crispy seaweed wrapped around an overflowing amount of red sea urchin 🟠, delivering an intense and sweet flavor that felt like swimming in the ocean 🌊! A touch of sea salt 🧂 enhanced the freshness, making it perfect! After such a rich meal, 🥣 the clam clear soup was a timely addition! 🥄 The broth was clear yet flavorful, with plump clams, providing a warm and comforting end to the meal. ☺️ The dessert of the day was muskmelon 🍈 paired with Kyoho grapes 🍇. The melon was incredibly sweet and juicy 💦, and the grapes were large, crisp, and sweet, providing a perfect conclusion to this exquisite feast 🎉. Each dish was a work of art 🎨, and the ambiance was comfortable. Although the price is not cheap 💰, the quality and experience are absolutely worth it!
