About
Sushi Shikon opened in 2014 inside the Mandarin Oriental The Landmark and has held three Michelin stars continuously since its debut — one of the longest unbroken three-star runs in Hong Kong. Founded under the creative direction of Masahiro Yoshitake of the two-Michelin-star Sushi Yoshitake in Ginza, the Hong Kong counter is led day-to-day by executive chef Yoshiharu Kakinuma, a third-generation sushi chef trained by Yoshitake himself in Tokyo. The menu is a focused Edomae omakase of seasonal appetisers, precisely vinegared nigiri, clear soup, and dessert, changing with Japan's fishing seasons. Ingredients are sourced from the same trusted purveyors as the Tokyo flagship, ensuring the same quality of tuna, shellfish, and seasonal 'shun' products that have made the Yoshitake name synonymous with Ginza sushi mastery. With just 14 seats across a main counter and intimate private room, Sushi Shikon remains one of the most sought-after reservations in Asia.
