KAEN Izakaya is Central’s all-day Japanese hangout, where the elemental fire of kaen meets Tokyo-after-dark energy. Designed for today’s social rhythms, it is where conversation unwinds over shared plates from lunch through last call.
The menu channels everyday Japanese-inspired classics with a modern, shareable spirit: charred yakitori, sizzling teppan plates, tempura, sashimi, sushi, nabe, and noodles for everything from quick catch-ups to long evenings over highballs. At its core is a lively bar with island tables and an extensive sake, whisky, and cocktails, setting the tone for casual meet-ups, after-work drinks, and bigger nights.
A mix of intimate washitsu-style rooms, semi-private corners, and a dedicated teppan room is available for business meetings, date nights, and celebrations. Together, the space, menu, and rhythm of KAEN Izakaya bring Hong Kong’s everyday izakaya culture into a contemporary setting tuned to the city’s pace and its love of Japanese dining.
KAEN’s Happy Hour turns Central’s golden hour into your nightly ritual, with rotating deals made for after‑work drinks, catch‑ups, and casual dates. Every day brings a new mix of specials on highballs, sake, wine, and champagne, including signature drinks like Shiso and Yuzu Highballs, seasonal sake picks, beer on tap, and cocktails that pair well with the izakaya menu’s skewers, tempura, and small plates. Whether you are stopping in for a quick drink or settling in for the night, there is always a different Happy Hour option pouring at the counter for a Tokyo‑after‑dark energy.
