Fukami Restaurant (Shanghai Sheshan Oriental)

Location

3388 Sichen Road, Sijing Town, Songjiang District //上海市松江区泗泾镇泗称公 路338弄
Shanghai
China

It was clear to us right from the beginning that the Fukami restaurant at the Sofitel Sheshan was Japanese through and through. A center room filled with natural lighting looks out over a traditional rock garden, and leads into smaller private rooms, some with their own sunken tables, others with dedicated teppanyaki tables.

Hatsune

Location

Hatsune Third floor, S8-30, The Village at Sanlitun // 北京朝阳区三里屯 19号院南区三层S8-30. Tel:010-6415 3939
Beijing
China

Started by Along Wong, an American-Chinese ex professional snowboarder, Hatsune is quickly becoming the restaurant to mention whenever people are looking for Japanese. Their second branch in Sanlitun Village is a sign of the restaurant’s growing success, but before choosing Hatsune as your next Japanese dining experience, there are some things you should know.

1. Walking in

Kagen Teppanyaki

Location

B1/F, Tower C, Heqiao Mansion, A8 Guanghua Donglu, // 北京光华东路甲8号和 乔大厦C座地下1层 Tel:010-6583-2332
Beijing
China

Now when my friend told me that she wanted to eat Japanese food, I immediately thought of Sushi and told her that I knew of a good restaurant. Not being fond of my choice and ignorance to Japanese cuisine, she insisted that we went to Kagen Teppanyaki. She then added that it would be like an educational dining experience.

Kagen

Location

B1/F, Tower C, Heqiao Mansion, A8 Guanghua East Road, Chaoyang District, // 北京朝阳区光华东路甲8号和乔大厦C座地下1层
Beijing
China

As thick as thieves or perhaps the Three Musketeers, Japanese mainstay Hatsune stands guard over twin sister restaurants Kagen and Kagen Teppanyaki located directly below in He Qiao Mansion’s basement. With just a discreetly-lit Kagen symbol out on the street and no signs on the stairwell, first-time diners are easily identified by their puzzled glances and furtive whispers. Impress your date or new business partner with a smoother entrance; simple swipe your hand over the red laser lights to one side of the door and it will magically open, 007-style. You’re in.

UNKAI Restaurant (LANDISON PLAZA Hotel Hangzhou)

Location

333 Tiyuchang Road, Hangzhou // 雷迪森大酒店, 杭州体育场路333号 Tel:(86)571 8515 8888
Hangzhou, 33
China

With Japanese cuisine being a sort of 'Holy Grail' adventure in Hangzhou, the options are somewhat limited for the discriminating diner who wants an authentic taste and experience. UNKAI brings the true essence of Japanese dining within your reach, and delivers a tremendously good selection of foods that will make you feel as if you had made the voyage to the Land of the Rising Sun yourself!

Haiku by Hatsune

Beijing
China

Alan Wong has added another mainstay to his Beijing-based Japanese fusion empire with Hatsune spin-off Haiku, modestly described in the PR leaflet as the “hottest thing to happen to Japanese fare since Wasabi”.

Oden

Location

• 204 Taiyue Suites, 16 Sanlitun South Road, Chaoyang District,/ 北京市朝阳区南三里屯路16号泰悦豪庭2层204 Tel:010-6506 6700
Beijing
China

With new Japanese restaurants sprouting up in Beijing on a seemingly daily basis, the requirement for innovation and quality is more important than ever. Wilfred Kwok and Zhang Huahui, co-owners of newly-opened Oden, believe they have cracked the formula with their eatery, characterised by traditional Japanese home fare upgraded by premium ingredients in an all-white setting.

Shiro Matsu

Location

• Chi’en Men 23, 23 Qianmen Dong Dajie, Dongcheng District, //前门 23号院内,北京市东城区前门东大街23号。Tel: 010-6523 3226
Beijing
China

It takes some guts to open a culinary establishment in Ch’ien Men 23, the Legation Quarter 'lifestyle and entertainment complex’ a stone’s throw from the great Tiananmen Square and old Mao himself. Indeed, the mere mention of the location raises one’s expectations and eyebrows. Luckily Shiro Matsu, the newest addition to Aqua’s Beijing empire housed in a glossy glass structure in the northwest corner of the Legation Quarter courtyard certainly does not disappoint when it comes to first impressions.
