Chef Fumio Suzuki looked the same energetic self, and noted that he hadn’t been home to Japan since Covid.
By the glass selection ok. Went for a glass of burgundy white.
Here’s what we had.
Appetizer- Horsehair crab with ginkgo and
persimmon. Creative balance of flavors.
Satsuma A5 Wagyu tenderloin-
slow cooked then deep fried. On the side: shiso salt and wasabi. Didn’t taste fatty at all, as no excess fat was left after the slow cooking.
Abalone with noodles in soy milk soup. Liver sauce at the bottom. Again, awesome balance of flavors.
Soup with pike eel (hamo) and matsutake (which is now in season), with a hint of lime. Hamo was tempura-ed. We were watching the chef earlier slice the hamo- its fine bones made snapping sounds as he was cutting along.
Sashimi: garoupa + snapper topped with finger lime (tasted like pomelo).
Cold dish: grilled sweetfish (ayu) with roe topped with shiso leaf and plum paste. Reminded us of Kyoto so much!
Tuna and French caviar on rice, with 4 pieces of crunchy seaweed on the side (additional item $350).
Hotpot: 2 slices of Satsuma wagyu + brisket and Okinawa egg yolk, slow-cooked with sukiyaki sauce. Egg yolk tasted amazing, like crab paste.
Sea urchin & tuna hand roll (not pictured).
Grilled eel & egg roll cooked with 鲣鱼 dashi. Eel was very crispy.
Takikomi rice with "Black throat" sea perch (赤鯥) and ikura. First round as is, with pickles. Second round with soup. Loved the fish- very fresh and sweet. One of the best 釜饭 I have tried.
Dessert: wafer sandwich with seasame ice-cream and peach. Pleasantly surprised with the layer of freshly made mochi in between- making this one stand out from all the other IceCream sandwiches we’ve tried.
In summary: chef did an impressive all-rounded presentation with seasonal ingredients and different cooking methods. Well deserved ⭐️.
