Signature Dishes
White asparagus
Sweet and juicy, with pistachio nuttiness and cedar oil creating a forest-like aroma; tea pairing brings out a clean sweetness and lingering finish.
Sake lees bread
Soft bread with a pronounced buttery aroma; fleur de sel adds flavor, and sake-lees butter brings a sake-like aroma.
Shepherd's purse and snail
The shepherd's purse has a strong green flavor, balanced by garlic oil; snail adds a springy bite, while the bitterness makes the pairing distinctive.
Pork main course
The meat is sweet and free of porky odor, with a smoky aroma; doneness may affect the texture—one portion was described as undercooked and gristly, while another, cooked more, did not have the same issue.
Sage and cape gooseberry dessert
Sage sorbet has a fresh aroma; yogurt foam is mildly tart with milky notes, cape gooseberry jelly is fruitily tart, and popping candy finishes the dessert.
