One of the world’s greatest sushi masters, chef Mitsuhiro Araki moved to Hong Kong to open The Araki. It is the only Japanese restaurant in the city where the master chef is present throughout the year. Araki gained three Michelin stars in his Tokyo and London restaurants, and achieved a star in just over a year in Hong Kong.
