Signature Dishes
Kaoliang Cured-Meat Bread
The kaoliang aroma pairs well with the savory cured meat.
White Eel / Eggplant / Pine Nuts
The white eel is crisp-fried and fairly tender; the smoky eggplant purée is full-bodied, and the pine nuts and olives make a harmonious pairing.
Freshwater Snail / Burdock / Plum
The freshwater snail is springy rather than tough, with a smoky note in the plum sauce; ice plant adds a delicate crunch for a clear textural contrast.
Beef Tenderloin
The beef tenderloin is tender and juicy, complemented by horseradish sauce and potato purée, with a perfectly judged sear.
Kyoho Grape Chilled Soup
The Kyoho grape chilled soup was memorable and delivered the sense of wonder expected from that meal.
