Going ‘kamikazi’ for omakase
Surprises are in store at Liberty Private Works
There are many styles of Japanese cuisine – Teppanyaki, Kaiseki,
Nabemono… the list goes on. But of the many Japanese restaurants in
Hong Kong, we’ve found a real gem that does Omakase best. How
else do you explain that it’s practically booked out till mid-September?
Liberty Private Works is a new ‘outlet’ that serves French-Japanese
fusion, omakase style. This means Japanese Canadian Chef Makoto Ono
gets all creative, and surprises his guests with a degustation menu of
six or seven original dishes. His obsession to detail is evident in the
seasonal ingredients that he selects fresh from the market and in the
perfection of his technique. You’ll get to see his surprises unfold
right before your eyes, as you sit around him at the small, industrial
chic dining bar that can take no more than 16 guests at a time. Another
detail that’s not overlooked is the art that deck the walls, which Ono
will change every few months. As an artiste himself, he has plans to
publish a cook book that will not only celebrate the art of cooking,
but will also be geared towards us guys who are into ‘date cooking’.
As they say in Japan, “Douzo meshiagare”!
