Hong Kong’s beloved sushi chain revives its viral torched foie gras nigiri after months of fan demand, but only at a handful of locations and for a strictly limited window.
Sushiro has officially brought back its “Torched Caramel Foie Gras” sushi—a menu item that became an instant sensation upon its initial release. Starting April 27 through April 28, 2026, diners can snag one piece for just HKD 17. However, the offering is confined to just 13 designated outlets across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories, and only while supplies last.
What Makes This Sushi a “Superstar”
The appeal lies in its deceptively simple preparation: a thick slice of foie gras is dusted with granulated sugar, then flash-seared with a blowtorch until a thin, brittle caramel crust forms. The result is a textural paradox—crisp, glass-like sweetness that shatters on the tongue, followed by the rich, buttery melt of warm foie gras. Food bloggers and regulars have dubbed it an “instant-melt” experience, and social media buzz from previous runs confirms its cult status.
Pricing is notably aggressive for a premium ingredient. At HKD 17 per piece, the item undercuts most high-end sushi omakase prices while delivering a comparable flavour profile. Sushiro appears to be leveraging this as a loss-leader to drive foot traffic during a typically slower week.
Where and When to Get It
The promotion runs for exactly two days: Monday, April 27, and Tuesday, April 28. Given the intense demand seen during past launches, guests should expect queues and potential sell-outs before closing time.
Participating Outlets (13 Stores)
- Kowloon: Whampoa Enjoy Food Court, Wong Tai Sin, Lok Fu, Lam Tin, Jordan (Jordan荟), Kwun Tong
- Hong Kong Island: Sheung Wan
- New Territories: Wo Che, Sheung Shui (Sheung Shui Walk)
- Kowloon East: San Po Kong (Mikiki), Mong Kok East (MOKO)
- West Kowloon: Nam Cheong (V Walk), Olympian City 2
April’s Other Limited-Time Bites
Beyond the caramel foie gras, Sushiro is running a parallel “Three Items” series featuring curated trios at prices starting from HKD 10. The lineup includes:
- Tuna Trio (HKD 39): O-toro, long-fin tuna belly, and minced bluefin tuna wrapped in seaweed.
- Beef Trio (HKD 22): Torched tongue, salt-seasoned steak, and beef brisket.
- Coriander Shrimp Spicy Trio (HKD 22): Raw salmon, red shrimp, and squid tossed in a zesty chili-coriander dressing.
- Salad Naval Trio (HKD 10): Tuna, corn, and crab stick salad—a budget-friendly pick.
These sets are available across all Sushiro branches, unlike the foie gras special.
A Concurrent Pop-Culture Collaboration
Meanwhile, Sushiro has also launched a tie-up with the anime JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders. From April 14, three themed stores will serve exclusive sushi rolls and drinks, with randomly distributed merchandise including stickers, coasters, and colour-changing cups. Fans are advised to check store-specific menus as availability varies.
What This Means for Diners
Sushiro’s strategy hinges on scarcity and social proof. By limiting the foie gras item to two days and 13 stores, the chain generates urgency and extends its organic reach through user-generated content. For consumers, the takeaway is clear: plan ahead. Arriving early—particularly at high-traffic outlets like Mong Kok East or Olympian City—improves chances of securing the item.
For those unable to make it, the April “Three Items” sets and the JoJo collaboration offer equally compelling reasons to visit. Sushiro has also extended its HKD 10 Mont Blanc chestnut cake promotion through May 4, providing a sweet finish to any meal.
All prices are in Hong Kong dollars and inclusive of applicable service charges. Availability subject to stock at individual stores. For the latest updates, refer to Sushiro’s official website or mobile app.
