From sashimi, nigiri and sushi to set menus with lobster and seafood, from Wagyu beef and fried rice to soups and skewers, Japanese food is nothing if not varied. Hong Kong is filled with restaurants that display the full diversity of the cuisine, and at Taiyoken on Wai Ching Street in Yau Ma Tei, there is a menu that shows them all. Head down to Austin or Jordan stations on the Metro to get stuck into the sushi.

A meal at Taiyoken begins, as most Japanese food does, with a palate-cleansing soup.
