Hatsune, Karaiya slated for mid-January opening in Sanlitun
Look for dining choices at The Village in Sanlitun to increase as the two newest Alan Wong projects are slated to open there in mid-January. Joining restaurants such as Blue Frog, Union, and Peppes Pizza will be the second Beijing branch of his Japanese restaurant chain Hatsune as well as his new Hunanese restaurant Karaiya Spice House, according to Kristen Lum, who is handling PR for the projects.
Hatsune will top out at more than 400 square meters and 100 seats, while Karaiya will be slightly smaller at 350 square meters and around 85 seats. Lum says the two Hatsune branches will share the same menu, which will be updated for the Sanlitun opening.

Anything that “moves” Hatsune closer to my pad in Beijing’s north gets a big thumbs up from this regular Hatter.
I will get excited only when Ichikura opens a branch there….
@ Shanz,
I just hope things are consistent. The new Purple Haze is only a few hundred meters from the old one but I find the latter is better.
@ Daniel,
Hope springs eternal.
Cheers, Boyce
