About
Takumi by Daisuke Mori earned a Michelin star in its debut year in 2017 and has retained it continuously, building a loyal following around Chef Mori's singular ability to speak both culinary languages fluently. The restaurant occupies a quiet ground-floor space in Wan Chai, its ten counter seats arranged in a single intimate row facing the kitchen. Mori trained in Japan before years in France, and his menus show it: a kuruma shrimp might be served in a refined consommé with Japanese herbs, or black sesame might appear as a lace-fine dessert flower alongside lemon yogurt. The nine-course tasting menu — priced at approximately HKD 2,080 — is the essential format, with optional wine pairings that lean toward Burgundy and Champagne. Free valet parking and a private dining room make it practical for business as well as celebration.
