Miri Cafeteria Kwai Chung Plaza Street Sweeping Food Shop is Japanese-run!
Japan is the second hometown of Hong Kong people. In addition to shopping like crazy, buying and playing, the food is even more unforgettable. Although due to the epidemic situation, I couldn't go to my hometown to have an aftertaste, but I opened a Japanese street sweeping snack shop in Kwai Chung Plaza. It is managed by the Japanese owner-Mr. Sakane Toshiya, and the taste is guaranteed to be authentic!
Mr. Sakane has lived in Hong Kong for 8 years. Originally, he was engaged in electronic parts business. Later, he wanted to bring the latest Japanese products to Hong Kong people, so he decided to open a store in 2015 - Miri Store, which mainly sells Japanese snacks, cup noodles, etc. Dry goods. But the real Japanese taste is not limited to dry goods. He thought of the food culture of Hong Kong people who like to eat while walking, and decided to combine the two. In 2019, he opened a small restaurant in Kwai Chung Plaza - "Miri Canteen", which mainly sells authentic street food. .
Direct delivery from Japan! 20 Street Sweeping Snacks
At present, there are more than 20 kinds of snacks available in the store, all of which are selected and developed by the boss and employees. In order to bring the authentic taste of Japan to Hong Kong, Mr. Sakane, who is originally from Osaka, found a meat food factory in his hometown, and gave the recipe to the factory to make, constantly improving the taste and texture. He tasted it more than 50 times. Dare to put it on the market. It is precisely this kind of unremitting spirit that in the past cold winter of food, the business still did not fail.
Sell 100 Wagyu Burgers + Fried Shiba Bobo
The juicy meatball burger and wagyu potato bomb burger most recommended by Mr. Sakane are the signatures of the store. During the peak period, they sold 100 copies a day. The former is made with Japanese Wagyu beef and Hokkaido onions. The gravy is juicy and delicious when cut open; the latter is also made of Japanese Wagyu beef, and then mixed with onions and potatoes to make a filling. It is crispy and crispy after deep-fried, and the fried coating is very thin. You will hear a "click" sound when you bite.
Common street food in Japan is also available. There are 5 types of potato cakes alone, curry, purple potatoes, wild vegetables, pumpkins, and chestnuts. Very satisfied. There are also wine-helping snacks, such as crispy fried small pond fish, tofu fish cakes, Hiroshima oysters, cheese bobo, etc., especially small pond fish.
If you are not full enough, there are evil starches such as Japanese-style clam meat rice balls, soy sauce rice cakes, skewered meatballs, and cheese rice cakes. In particular, rice balls are boiled in high broth, clam meat and kombu are added to form rice balls.
"Kuiguang is a very lively place!"
Mr. Sakane chose Kwai Hiroshi at the beginning because he saw that men, women, and children are regular customers. Although at first he would be overwhelmed by the crowded shops, he later found that diners gathered and chatted in small groups, forming small circles. , People coming and going make him feel that this place is full of vitality and energy, and it is also a place that fascinates him.
"Freedom is what fascinates me the most"
When asked what fascinated him the most in Hong Kong, he answered without thinking, "Freedom." In Japan, it is rude to eat while walking, even if you buy snacks on the street, you can only eat them when you get home. Although I was not used to it in Hong Kong at first, after all, I have lived in Hong Kong for 8 years, and now it has become a habit, and I am very satisfied after buying it. Even when I returned to Japan, I didn’t consciously bring this habit back to my hometown. I tried to eat while walking, but I was looked at by others, and Mr. Sakane showed a helpless expression and smiled wryly.
Although Mr. Sakane has been in Hong Kong for 8 years, he can only speak some simple words, such as "pay the bill", "morning", "ugai" and "my name is Toshiya Sakane". There will always be a clerk asking him if he is Japanese, and then greeting himself in Japanese, which is the most comforting place for him.
