@ Harbour City, Times Square, ifc mall, New Town Plaza and city’super neighbourhood THE SOUTHSIDE stores
After every holiday, we eagerly anticipate the arrival of the next one. Instead of simply exclaiming, ‘I really love holidays’, why not immerse yourself in city’super’s authentic Japanese cuisine and beverages this summer? Introducing the Hong Kong-style Japanese Summer Festival—Taste of Summer Japan—where you can experience Japanese flavours right here in Hong Kong, as if you were in Japan.
DIY Japanese-style bento
While embarking on a summer journey to Japan, some fancy the festive vibes, while others like to explore the underground labyrinth of shops and restaurants. More often than not, you will find a hidden culinary delight among a tapestry of bento shops. Rather than reminiscing about those fleeting flavours, city’super invites you to fulfil your cravings with our selection of authentic Japanese cuisine.
Effortlessly create your own Japanese-style bento:
