About
Shikigiku Japanese Restaurant occupies a well-appointed space on the fourth podium level of IFC Mall, making it a natural destination for both business lunches and leisurely multi-course dinners in Central. Executive chef Masahiro Noda, trained in the Japanese tradition, leads a kitchen that is most celebrated for its new tempura omakase — a tasting-course approach that treats each fried ingredient as a jewel: fresh whitebait layered with mullet roe, flounder wrapped in shiso crowned with sea urchin, and seasonal vegetables fried to preserve their peak-time crunch. Beyond tempura, the menu encompasses kaiseki-inspired appetisers and elegant sashimi selections. The seamless counter service and well-judged beverage pairings, including sake, Champagne and wine, make for a comprehensive fine-dining experience.
Neighborhood & visiting

Shikigiku Japanese Restaurant sits in Central, one of Hong Kong's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. The house does not publish an online booking link; call ahead to secure a seat, especially on weekends. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional kaiseki restaurants often close between service periods.
