120313 Inagiku - Chef Takashi Okabe

We headed to Inagiku at IFC, Hong Kong to try the new sushi chef, Takashi Okabe, former head sushi chef at Sushi Musashino, Hilton Tokyo, Japan. To be honest, we did not have terribly high expectations as Inagiku’s existing sushi chef was already very good.

We got a bit confused about this one.

Before Pier Restaurant, Tetsuya’s was the restaurant on our must visit list for Sydney. In fact our whole Australian trip’s schedule was planned around our Tuesday dinner booking here. Arriving at the restaurant, we immediately feel the strong Japanese influence from chef / owner Tetsuya Wakuda’s roots.
