I got a bit lost when going to the restaurant but it was definitely worth it. It was the first time I tried a sake pairing menu. Besides well known for its sake pairing, it is most well known for serving the sake at the most optimum temperature and the chef will measure the temperature of the sake before serving.The menu was really beautiful and the date was printed too which we can take back as our souvenir.

The menu was really beautiful and the date was printed too which we can take back as our souvenir. The 2nd sheet shows the ingredients and its origin.
The first dish and first sake was my favorite as it was most fruity. The mixture of the two different shrimps(botan and shiro) was stunning and the sweetness of the lychee and sake further enhanced its flavors.
The next sake was more stronger with slight tarty fruit component. The soba and the torigai were all springy and both starters were very refreshing.
The next dish was definitely a stunner. The creamy uni and kamonasu(a creamy type of eggplant) were brought together by the Konbu sauce. The third sake was more on the drier side to match this creamy dish.
The next sake was fragrant without being too strong as the fourth dish was the scallop and white asparagus which is more light in flavor.
The flavor of the next dish was definitely stronger with a warm stronger sake. The bones of the fish Ayu were all removed and it was really tender. The chef will also advise you to avoid the head and tail.
The next sake was actually a bit different from our usual ones and it was more on the acidic side. The rice was cooked like a risotto with the creamy sauce and tender abalone.
The last pairing was a lighter sake with fish soup with vegetables. I have to say the most surprising was the tomato as it was so sweet I nearly thought it was a fruit.
The dessert itself does not have a sake pairing he but the green tea sauce was made from sake giving this menu a nice conclusion.
