We walked past 0.5°Japanese Contemporary Cuisine & Bar quite a few times in the past and were always curious of the type of cuisine available here. Finally, we got the chance to check it out first hand.
There's a stylish sushi bar in the heart of 0.5° with two sushi chefs working diligently behind the scene when we arrived.
This contemporary Japanese restaurant sports an industrial chic design that is so common these days.
We had a close look into the food menu and wow everything is priced in Japanese Yens! After checking with our server, it turned to be just a nice "gimmick" that they were throwing around.
The food is in fact in Hong Kong dollars and when reading it, simply take out the last digit to "convert it into HK$".
I had their supreme sushi set which I heard was the most popular dish here these days.
The Hokkaido scallop sushi, so sweet and flavorful.
The ebi sushi had superb texture and super sweet flavor.
Yaki toro (Seared toro) sushi - Lightly seared to perfection, melt in your mouth good.
The spicy tuna roll - I thought just average.
Sea urchin - one of my personal favorites. Very sweet but not as flavorful as most uni we've had elsewhere.
I thought I was going to stop there but since someone already ordered this, I had to give it a go - Buri (寒鰤) done three-ways.
I did my homework online on the term buri and it seemed to be related to yellowtail, hamachi and amberjack. They are probably from the same family.
This looked like hamachi all the way and the server explained that it's the back side of the buri. Very rich and flavorful.
Secondly, we had the buri tartare with spring onion and a special soy.
Now, we moved onto the belly, the most flavorful part of the fish and it was stunning. Very rich in fat content with superbly rich taste and the texture was extremely firm.
