Hana no Kumo 花雲

Perched on the 38th floor of The Henderson, one of Hong Kong's most striking new skyscrapers designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, Hana no Kumo recently opened as one of the city's most intimate and rarefied dining experiences. Led by chef Ogawa Masaru, whose decades in top Kyoto and Hong Kong kitchens include time at Michelin-starred establishments, the restaurant centers on kappou dining, an interactive Japanese style where the chef prepares and serves each course directly in front of just 24 guests seated around the counter. The sakura-themed interior, designed by HBA, features lighting that shifts between white and pink to mimic cherry blossoms in bloom, providing a quietly breathtaking backdrop for the monthly-changing dinner tasting menu.
