Zuicho, Japanese Kappo restaurant in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong
Zuicho is a Japanese kappo restaurant in Sheung Wan featuring counter seating where chefs prepare each course directly in front of diners. The restaurant offers multi-course tasting menus that change with the seasons and ingredient availability.
The restaurant earned recognition from the Michelin Guide, establishing itself as a keeper of traditional Japanese cooking methods in Hong Kong. This acknowledgment placed it among the city's notable dining venues.
The name Zuicho reflects Japanese culinary philosophy and values. Diners sit at the counter watching chefs work with imported Japanese ingredients prepared using time-honored techniques that are central to the kappo tradition.
The establishment operates in the evenings and requires advance booking to guarantee a table. Visitors should allow several hours for the full experience and dress comfortably, as the meal unfolds at a leisurely pace at the counter.
The chefs adjust their techniques and selections based on daily ingredient availability, so no two visits are ever the same. This flexibility means each meal becomes a direct reflection of the team's skill and intuition rather than a fixed menu.
