Sake to sushi: why Godenya is one of Hong Kong’s top Japanese restaurants
- With room only for six, a prix fixe menu and top-notch sake, Godenya is a labour of love by restaurateur Shiya Goshima
Hidden within the back alleys of Kau U Fong, Godenya is a quiet haven from Japan, and for those who love sake the restaurant is famous for its amazing showcase of the national drink.
Restaurateur Shiya Goshima took a gamble when in 2015 he shut up shop in his homeland and relocated his concept to Hong Kong. At the intimate restaurant, which offers only counter seating for six, the star of the show is the sake. Goshi-san meticulously prepares the rice wine to the exact temperature to match the food. There is only a prix fixe menu here, and you will see items such as drunken crab served with Shinkame 2010 sake at 52 degrees.
