NIWA unveils a rare Vegetarian Omakase experience in Hong Kong
NIWA, a tranquil omakase restaurant in Central, I’m excited to introduce their new Vegetarian Omakase Menu, priced at HK$780 per person.
Nestled on Caine Road, NIWA hopes to offer guests a serene escape from Hong Kong’s fast-paced life. The space is inspired by the simplicity and harmony of a Japanese Zen garden, and this vegetarian omakase is a rare gem in the city’s dining scene. Meticulously crafted, it adheres to Buddhist vegetarian principles, excluding root vegetables like garlic and onion.
The 14-course menu features seasonal, premium ingredients. Each dish reflects NIWA’s commitment to culinary artistry and inclusivity. From Somen with Black Truffle to Kombu Vegetarian Roll and Vegetarian Dobin Mushi, every bite revels in the balance and mindfulness that went into its curation.
NIWA’s minimalist design, natural materials, and serene ambience create a space where diners can pause, reflect, and savour the moment. This menu is not just a meal—it’s an invitation to experience peace and Zen through the elegance of Japanese cuisine.
