Located on the 101t floor in ICC, one of the tallest building in Hong Kong, you could not ask for more with a spectacular atmosphere with breathtaking views. Following the footsteps of the traditional Japanese Kaiseki, the Tenku RyuGin doesn’t provide la carte as an option. And the seasonal menu brings with it some sumptuous cuisine that is created using some fresh and the best ingredients that are brought directly from Japan. All the chefs who have helmed the top have always set high standards and the current Chef Hidemechi Saki is no exception as he and his team always strive hard to meet the expectations of its Japanese counterpart, the Nihonryori RyuGin.

Normally the menu lasts for about a month based on the availability of the ingredients. The 10-course meal consists of several dishes starting with the appetizers, some grilled and steamed dishes, soup and dessert to finish with. The 10-course meal was skillfully structured consisting of a varied collection of dishes and prepared using some of the best ingredients and beautifully presented.
In the Kitchen
Chef Hidemichi Seki.
Cooking naturally comes to Hidemichi Seki as his family runs a Chinese restaurant called the Guangzhou restaurant and hence the passion for food and cooking embarked on him at a very early age itself. But to become a professional chef you need to train under a professional chef and Chef Seki started his career in the much acclaimed Kaiseki restaurant where he came face to face with Chef Seiji Yamamoto, the current owner of the RyuGin line of restaurants.
When Chef Seiji Yamamoto started his own restaurant Nihonryori RyuGin in Tokyo, Chef Seki joined with him and spend almost seven years mastering his culinary skills. A short stint in a Spanish restaurant enabled Chef Seki to gain a great knowledge about international cuisine. When Chef Seiji Yamamoto opened the Tenku RyuGin in Hong Kong, Chef Seki joined as a sous chef in 2012. And in 2015 he was promoted as the Chef de Cuisine of the Tenku RyuGin.
