About
Sessyu occupies two floors of the stylish Cubus building in Causeway Bay, with the teppanyaki counter on the upper level and a dedicated nabe/hotpot dining room below. The concept fuses the structural discipline of kaiseki — its careful sequencing of courses, seasonal sensitivity, and restrained aesthetic — with the lively spectacle of teppanyaki, where chef Matsumura cooks in front of guests on an iron plate heated to precision temperature. Sourcing is paramount: the kitchen draws on Kobe (the most celebrated wagyu appellation), Hida (revered for deep marbling and intense flavour), and Miyazaki (a more recently celebrated but critically acclaimed region) to offer a comparative wagyu experience that few restaurants in Hong Kong can match. Recognition from the French Gastronomy Association — a discerning international body — testifies to a dining standard that crosses cultural boundaries. Counter seating keeps the experience intimate, with each party receiving the chef's full attention throughout the meal.
