The Hong Kong outpost of Japanese chef Keizo Seki's acclaimed Sushi Zo brand, housed in the beautifully restored Tai Kwun heritage precinct, offers Edomae omakase led by executive chefs Michikazu Yoshida and Ryohei Sugawara — both Japanese, both trained in the Zo tradition of allowing the fish to speak without embellishment.

About
Founded in Los Angeles by Japanese chef-owner Keizo Seki and now spanning Hong Kong, New York, Thailand, and Japan, Sushi Zo has built an international reputation for strict Edomae technique: no spicy tuna, no mayonnaise, fish sourced directly from Japan's finest regional markets. The Hong Kong counter sits in the lower ground floor of Tai Kwun, the city's beloved heritage arts and entertainment precinct on Hollywood Road, lending the restaurant a cultural setting unlike any other omakase address in Central. Executive chefs Michikazu Yoshida and Ryohei Sugawara jointly lead the kitchen, ensuring the restaurant's exacting standards are maintained across both lunch and dinner services. The fish program emphasises wild-caught seasonal species, with closures on Mondays and Sundays aligned to Japan's seafood delivery schedule. Sushi Zo has a loyal following among both Hong Kong residents and Japanese food tourists.
