Discover the Taste of Autumn at Cocos

As the weather cools down and autumn sets in, Cocos, a popular family restaurant chain in Japan, is excited to announce its September Gourmet menu. Starting September 1, guests can indulge in two exquisite dishes that celebrate the earthy and aromatic flavors of mushrooms, particularly truffles.

Stunning Dishes to Savor

Cocos' offerings this month are designed to provide a delightful culinary experience, showcasing the delicate balance of flavors that mushrooms bring to the table.

Truffle-Infused Salmon and Mushroom Cream Pasta

One of the highlights of this month's menu is the Truffle-Infused Salmon and Mushroom Cream Pasta priced at ¥1,180 (tax included ¥1,298).
This dish features succulent salmon seasoned with fragrant garlic oil and truffle salt, paired with a variety of mushrooms, including maitake and shimeji, all enveloped in a rich and creamy sauce. The cream sauce is further enhanced with the umami of onions and mushrooms, creating a harmonious blend that complements the salmon perfectly. Topped with grated Grana Padano cheese, the dish delivers a perfect blend of creaminess and the decadent aroma of truffles, a true taste of autumn.

Crispy Maitake Fritters with Truffle Salt and Lemon

Alongside the pasta, diners will also find the Crispy Maitake Fritters available for just ¥390 (tax included ¥429). These fritters are a crunchy delight, with a light texture that gives way to the juicy, umami-rich mushrooms. Guests can choose to elevate the experience by sprinkling truffle salt for an extra burst of flavor or squeezing fresh lemon juice for a refreshing balance. These fritters make an ideal snack or side dish, perfect for pairing with drinks or as an added treat during a meal.

September Gourmet Course

For those looking to enjoy more, Cocos offers a September Gourmet Course priced at ¥1,780 (tax included ¥1,958), which combines both of the delectable dishes along with a mini Mont Blanc dessert made from fresh Italian chestnuts and access to both a drink bar and a soup bar. Guests can enjoy a full tasting experience while saving money compared to ordering a la carte.

Availability and Locations

This exciting menu will be available at 507 locations throughout Japan (as of August 28) but will not be served at airport outlets. The September Gourmet offerings are expected to conclude by late September, so diners are encouraged to visit their nearest Cocos restaurant to embrace the flavors of autumn.

As temperatures drop and foliage changes, Cocos provides a perfect opportunity to indulge in seasonal favorites that warm the soul and palate. The rich aromas and flavors of truffles and mushrooms await diners, promising a memorable dining experience that captures the essence of the fall season. Make sure to savor these delightful dishes while they last!
