Dinner. Had to decide on menu 2 days in advance.
Modest by the glass selection. Went for a glass of Bordeaux red.
Here’s what we had.
Pumpkin Tart topped with Perseus Caviar on tender deep fried Japanese Abalone. A satisfying opening to the nite.
Soup with creamy, briny Japanese Oyster, Salmon Roe and Salsa Verde (green sauce made with tomatillos- not to be confused with green tomatoes) which, even with the slice of lime, did little to soften the pronounced fishiness of the Soup. First time to see salmon roe in broth- definitely adding to the fishy flavor.
Perfectly Grilled Squid, tender yet retaining a slight chewiness; served on a bed of Organic Vegetables from Kagoshima mixed with Mayonnaise. The addition of Tomato Sauce- in effect acidic ketchup- was overwhelming: too many assertive flavors competing for attention overpowered the freshness of the vegetables.
Delicate and pillowy Omelette topped with generous portions of creamy, custard-like cod milt (白子) and grated Homemade Bottarga. Paired with creamy spinach sauce with shaved tangy Yuzu. Very rich dish but the salty intensity of the bottarga was not apparent at all.
Hokkaido Hairy Crab with Crab Americaine Paella. Paella was sweet-tasting and torch-gunned, creating some charred bits on top but no socarrat (ie toasted rice bottom with crispy crust) was present. Served with Salt and Lime- not sure what they added to the dish.
Tiramisu topped with crispy biscuit.
In summary: dishes were presented with elegance and care, with innovative and creative flavor pairings for the more adventurous palates. However the combination of flavors may be too busy for the rest of us.
