Chan Wing Kin

Sushi Kumogaku

Chef Chan Wing Kin is the Head Chef of Sushi Kumogaku in Hong Kong. With over a decade of experience, he trained under renowned Japanese chefs before being promoted to head chef in 2021. He masterfully balances Edo-style traditions — curing silver-skinned fish, using the "shibarizuke" technique for tuna — with creative signatures like the monkfish liver cream puff, inspired by Hong Kong's pineapple bun with butter. He also extensively studies Japanese food culture and culinary literature. His philosophy: tradition and innovation in perfect balance.
