Taking its name and inspiration from a famous suburb of Kyoto, Japan's ancient heartland, Sagano offers authentic Japanese specialties from sushi and tempura to teppanyaki and kaiseki. It is also a favourite haunt of many Japanese residents in Hong Kong as well as Japanese guests at Hotel Nikko.

Particularly noteworthy are the eatery's three tatami rooms with traditional bamboo flooring, two of which can be opened up to create a larger space for up to 16 persons. Here, dining is no longer just about food, it's a wholly cultural experience.

Indeed, the restaurant's appeal lies not only in its superb culinary offerings, but equally in its exquisitely simple ambience reflecting the quiet dignity, beauty and serenity of the original Sagano.
