Kakure: Central’s new hidden whisky bar that doubles as a Japanese sushi restaurant
- Fresh sushi, teppanyaki and classic whisky are all served in a warm and welcome setting at the hidden Japanese food restaurant Kakure
Habitués of Central all know that tucked-away spot at Landmark Prince’s, inside the Landmark complex. Best known for its Maxim’s fast food establishment CanTeen, it was once occupied by Terroir Parisien.
The name of this new Japanese restaurant, Kakure, translates as “present yet absent” and plays on its obscure location within the mall.
Once you find it, you will discover a warm welcome among its comfortable interior and awesome whisky bar near the entrance. The 3,000 sq ft premises is large enough to accommodate a sushi bar, teppanyaki counter and private rooms, making this a truly versatile space.
We start with a white corn and glass prawn salad (HK$78) which is served with a refreshing jelly vinaigrette. The superior shellfish’s sweetness is enhanced by crunchy and sweet vegetables, just what we need to whet our appetite.
