Embracing the Spring Season
As winter's remnants fade away, the arrival of spring inspires transformation both in nature and the body. "The Wellness Table – Awakening" reflects the gentle transition of this season, featuring a five-course lunch designed to nourish the body with balanced essential nutrients while keeping calorie counts low—771 kcal per course.
Spring Delights on Your Plate
The tactile sensations of fresh ingredients are the highlight of this seasonal menu. Each dish at the Wellness Table promises to captivate dining senses:

Signature Salad: The meal begins with a vibrant amuse-bouche displaying spring's bounty with a young green espuma at its core. This dish is adorned with a variety of leaves and mountain vegetables, showcasing a visual and flavor explosion.
2.
Onion Tart: Combining five different cooking techniques, this onion tart celebrates the depth and richness of seasonal onions with textures ranging from creamy to crunchy. Infused with the essence of traditional German sauerkraut, it's both comforting and sophisticated.

4.
Wild Mountain Vegetables: Wild mountain vegetables, cherished in Japanese tradition, add a unique twist to the seasonal selections. The dish captures the essence of spring through the delicate flavor of kogomi (fiddlehead ferns) highlighted in an artistic fashion.
