Lan Kwai Fong | High Quality Handmade Japanese Skewers

Walking through Lan Kwai Fong, I was looking for a dinner stop. Attracted by the name of this restaurant: Kyoto One String. There are many cherry blossom decorations placed next to the name of the shop at the entrance🌸 It feels a bit like going to a Japanese alley. Lucky to be arranged to the window position, the clerk opened the screen, turned into a semi-open room design, looking at the quieter than before Lan Kwai Fong streets, closed the bar, a little sigh, in exchange can quietly enjoy the delicious skewers, skewers master is very hospitable, willing to introduce them skewers making methods, first skewers styles, unique strength techniques! In addition to a variety of skewers, there are also rice and noodles to choose from, but once came, we all ordered skewers to try! The chef carefully arranged our skewers to serve them in order and would inquire if we were satisfied with the quality. The master emphasizes that all their skewers use the hanging method, 360 degree burning method, so that all four sides receive the same temperature burning incense. 🔺Tofu Three pieces of tofu are strung together, covered with shredded wood fish, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, plus a little soy sauce ~ 🔺Asparagus Pork Roll The asparagus was wrapped in thin slices of pork. The lard penetrated the asparagus and retained the juice of the asparagus The skewer master specially recommended us to try their first-ever mint skewers, saying that they use very special and careful knife work to stuff the mint into beef tongue/white eel. It sounded really attractive, so we ordered both. The master boldly said that you can't eat it in other restaurants in Hong Kong! 🔺Mentaiko mixed beef tongue This one is really amazing. I was afraid that the beef tongue would be too smoky, but it turned out to be with a few slices of beef tongue heart and then wrapped in mint! The beef tongue heart is certainly very tender, with the salty flavor of mint, rich taste, very special! 🔺Mingtai mix white eel Crispy grilled white fresh skin, tender white eel meat stuffed with mint, super strong knife skills! A brief look at the white eel, you can't tell where to squeeze the mint! 🔺Minded chicken sticks Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, you can really taste that all sides are evenly grilled, and the chicken cartilage crumbs inside add to the taste. There is no mayonnaise that usually comes with it, but there is really no need. The skewers themselves have been smeared with soy sauce, which is fragrant and delicious. 🔺Perilla chicken skin shrimp The chicken skin is naturally grilled to crispy, the chicken oil plus the fragrance of basil leaves enters the shrimp. 🔺Thick-cut pork belly The pork loin is full of oily flavour. The master deliberately left this skewer for the end of our dinner. 🍻札幌（罐330毫升） There is sake to choose from in the shop. I will try it next time I come back. 📍Kyoto’s string Shop C-D, G/F, 31 Wenham Street, Central #eatwithgina #japanesefood #skewers #foodie #travel inspiration #local tour #landscape restaurant #This bar is a bit cool
