About
Zuicho's chef-owner Fumio Suzuki is a Tokyo native who trained at Kita-Ooji and then spent years as head chef at the celebrated Ginza Uchiyama, a restaurant that accumulated over ten consecutive Michelin stars — a track record that speaks to his classical kappo foundations. He opened Zuicho in Sheung Wan in 2019 and earned his first Hong Kong Michelin star two years later. The 10-seat counter format is intentionally intimate: Suzuki-san prepares each course in full view, walking guests through a menu that marries traditional Japanese kappo technique with the finest seasonal produce sourced from trusted Japanese purveyors. Zuicho has cultivated a loyal following among Hong Kong's most serious Japanese food enthusiasts, and its low-key Jervois Street address — hidden in the ground floor of The Mercer — adds an element of discovery to the evening. Reservations are by telephone or TableCheck only.
Neighborhood & visiting

Zuicho sits in Sheung Wan, one of Hong Kong's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused kaiseki counter this is strongly recommended. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional kaiseki restaurants often close between service periods.

Why it's on Washoku Guide
  • Chef Fumio Suzuki's ten-plus Michelin-starred background from Ginza Uchiyama brings extraordinary pedigree to this intimate Sheung Wan counter.
  • One Michelin star since 2021 and a small, devout following confirm Zuicho as one of Hong Kong's most consistent Japanese omakase experiences.
  • The discreet Jervois Street address inside The Mercer gives the restaurant the atmosphere of a private club rather than a restaurant.
  • Classic Tokyo kappo technique executed with seasonal Japanese ingredients at its purest — no concessions to trend, only craft.

Reservations by telephone (+852 2156 1883, Tue–Sun 11:00–18:00) or TableCheck. Closed Mondays and two Sundays per month.
