Signature Dishes
Scallop mousse
The scallop mousse melts in the mouth, with layers of sweet, oceanic flavor, paired with a cappuccino-like foam sauce.
Hokkigai
Hokkigai with dried persimmon is fresh and appetizing; the persimmon-and-shellfish pairing offers a fresh taste experience.
Spanish mackerel
Smoked, medium-rare Spanish mackerel with citrus cream sauce is visually striking and satisfying to both the eye and palate.
Wagyu onglet
The Wagyu onglet is lightly charred outside and tender and juicy inside, paired with four herbs and squid-ink sauce for balanced, layered flavor.
Li's curry rice
The curry is rich in spice, fruit, and chocolate notes, with springy, full-bodied rice; it can also taste salty.
