This time-tested stalwart has become a veritable institution in Beijing’s dining scene, as well as a consistent prize-bagger in local dining awards. Hatsune’s elegant decor and neo-Japanese fare have aged well in its seven plus years of operation – expect a wide selection of mouthwatering rolls, fresh sashimi and bento box lunch specials, with selections ranging from fresh salmon sashimi and sushi, to grilled mackerel and diced beef.
Ideal for a business lunch or, considering its ample selection of sake, an after-work celebration. The Sanlitun branch features a “shoal of fish” display inspired by the work of UK artist Dominic Bromley and delicate Japanese-style prints embellish the walls and sofa coverings. A large bar adorned with taiko drums is stocked with sake, wines and spirits in floor to ceiling racks accessible by a moveable ladder (bartenders bang on the drums each time sake is served).
Voted "Best Japanese" and "Outstanding Decor" in the Beijinger's 2010 Reader Restaurant Awards.
Hatsune's Guanghua Lu branch closed its doors in November 2017 after 16 years in business.
