Hanagakure Japanese Kaiseki Cuisine is a well-known Japanese restaurant brand in China, affiliated with the Taiwanese restaurant brand Wang Pin Group, which was established in 1990. At the beginning of its establishment in 2015, Suzhou Huayin also caused a long queue of diners, which shows the appeal of Wangpin Group, and it is still the most popular mid-to-high-end Japanese restaurant in Suzhou.
The head chef of the Hanakure Kaiseki brand is Song Huangzhi, who is quite famous in Taiwan, and he has won gold medals in Asian regional and international Japanese cooking competitions many times, and has the title of "Gold Medal Chef". The Japanese cuisine developed by Hanakure is full of creative shapes, and the combination of ingredients has also stepped out of the Japanese food world, boldly trying Western collocation, with many patterns and beautiful plating. The dinner set in Huayin is about 300-400 yuan per person, with a rich menu and enough portions.
But it has to be said that Suzhou Huayin cannot escape its national standard process production. Uniform food pairings and presentation standards are not deductible points, but diners do not feel the ingenuity of the chef, which is most admired in Japanese cuisine. The layout of the restaurant also determines that diners will not be able to watch the chef's cooking in action.
In order to pursue customer flow, the store locations are all popular shopping malls. The overall environment of the restaurant is dominated by dark black tones, which is more urban and fashionable. The spacing between seats in the restaurant is small and the privacy is not strong, especially during peak hours, the environment is noisy, which affects the dining experience. In addition, charging a 10% service fee does not match the service level, and the cost performance is low.
