Omakase Apare

It’s been a long time since I last had Omakase. This time, I brought my husband to try “Apare Sushi” in Tsim Sha Tsui. Eating delicious food makes me especially happy😆. Dinner sets are priced at $1380 and $1680. We each chose one to try the difference. Here’s a detailed introduction below👇🏻

Dinner Set $1680:
Appetizers: 🧈 Monkfish liver tofu with Nara pickled white cucumber, 🐙 octopus with miso sauce, 🦀 crab
The tofu and octopus are quite rich in flavor, and the fried crab is very crispy.

🦪 Nagasaki Prefecture Konagai oysters, served with a broth jelly made from bonito and shiso flowers.
It’s my first time eating oysters that are completely non-fishy😍, and they’re very fresh and sweet! The jelly is refreshing and cool, with a subtle aroma that doesn’t overpower the natural freshness of the oysters🦪. The remaining broth has a slight acidity, balancing the flavors.

🔹 Geoduck clam, 🔹 ark shell, both are crisp and chewy, and can be paired with the yuzu salt, shiso salt, and wasabi on the side according to preference.
🔹 The geoduck is marinated in sauce, with a slightly charred surface, flavorful enough to eat on its own, very tasty. Finally, the 🔹 yuzu jelly is quite refreshing.

🟠 Sea urchin from Iwate Prefecture, served in a sea urchin cup, with shrimp meat, fish roe, and gold leaf inside, very eye-catching😍.

🦐 Sakura shrimp blended into a paste, topped with 🟠 sea urchin mousse and gold leaf. It’s the first time I’ve seen this dish, very unique. The flavor is smooth and rich, with a creamy texture, delicious!

🥠 Australian blacklip abalone cooked in sake, showcasing its natural freshness and very chewy. Served with abalone liver sauce and soy sauce made from abalone liver, offering a different, richer, and more flavorful taste, excellent! 👍🏻

🦀 Hair crab, sea urchin, crab vinegar jelly, seaweed shrimp rice cracker. The crab is sweet, the sea urchin is creamy, the jelly is slightly sour, creating a balanced overall flavor.

🐟 Horse mackerel, grilled Japanese white asparagus, red and white ginger.

There are also 🔸 small snacks of fried white shrimp, 🔸 pickles, 🔸 hot soup, and 🔸 chawanmushi. The chawanmushi is smooth, and the soup is not ordinary miso but has a fresh seafood flavor paired with silky tofu. 😋

🥠 Ishigaki clam sushi: crisp.
🐟 Needlefish sushi: beautiful under silver-white lighting, delicate flavor, unique texture.
🐟 Golden eye snapper sushi: slightly charred on top, rich and fragrant fat.
🦐 Kuruma prawn sushi: sweet and chewy.
🐟 Aged toro sushi: rich in fat, melts in your mouth.
🐟 Grilled right-eye flounder edge sushi: grilled to release fragrant fat, extremely delicious!
🟠 Hirakawa purple sea urchin: delicious, very creamy!
🟠 Awaji Island sea urchin: floral and lemon aroma, unique and refreshing flavor, really love it!

Dessert: Kumamoto red-flesh melon🍈, homemade matcha pudding🍮
The melon is super sweet! The matcha pudding is sweet but not greasy, quite tasty.

The above is the $1680 Dinner Set, with a rich variety of items. I think overall it’s quite high quality☺️. The $1380 Dinner Set does not include some of the dishes mentioned above, and the sushi varieties are quite different, offering good value. But I think the more expensive set tastes better🤣.

Here’s a reference for the sushi portion of the $1380 Dinner Set👇🏻
🥠 Ark shell sushi
🐟 Kanpachi sushi
🐟 Lotus snapper sushi
🦐 Mantis shrimp sushi (also known as stomatopod)
🐟 Deep-sea tilefish sushi
🟠 Hirakawa purple sea urchin

My husband mainly chose the cheaper set🤣 and said it was also very tasty, with equally fresh ingredients. His favorite was the deep-sea tilefish, saying the flavor is incomparable to the cheaper ones he’s had before👍🏻.
