ARTIFACT, A Modern Japanese Dining

ARTIFACT, A MODERN JAPANESE DINING EXPERIENCE CELEBRATING CAVIAR IN ALL ITS FORMS, HAS OPENED INSIDE CENTRAL’S BASEHALL 02 IN HONG KONG

Hong Kong – ARTIFACT, a Modern Japanese Cuisine counter dining experience that celebrates various forms of caviar masterminded by Michael Larkin, Beckaly Franks and Ezra Star, led by Japanese Chef Kiyoshi Sato, has now opened for lunch and dinner inside the recently opened BaseHall 02 in Central, with a speakeasy bar to follow in March 2023 adjacent to the counter dining space.

The new 14-seater counter dining experience highlights the diverse forms of caviar, paired harmoniously with premium ingredients flown direct from Japan. ARTIFACT presents an intricate chef’s degustation menu based on shun, the Japanese philosophy for seasonality, where the menu is constantly changing to incorporate the finest produce on the market.
