A Taste of the Menu

• - Warm Appetizer: Beef Tail and Foie Gras Ravioli

The meal begins with an eye-catching dish of vibrant green. Each ravioli, with its perfect chewy texture, envelops a rich filling of oxtail, foie gras, and tapenade. When you take a bite, the luxurious aroma of foie gras and the deep notes of oxtail fill the senses, teasing the nostrils. Accompanied by a green sauce featuring spinach and mascarpone, this dish is a delightful prelude.

• - Seafood Dish: Poached Spanish Mackerel and Cod Milt in Seafood Butter Sauce

The seasonal Spanish mackerel is skillfully poached, locking in its flavors within a fragrant seafood butter sauce, complemented by a subtly bitter rapeseed flower risotto and decadent cod milt. Finished with a fisherman’s soup made from a tomato base that enhances the seafood essence, this dish presents a harmonious blend of oceanic aroma and richness.

• - Meat Dish: Grilled Domestic Beef Loin with Blue-veined Cheese and Nutty Red Wine Sauce

For the main event, enjoy the pure essence of grilled domestic beef loin, simply prepared to highlight its natural flavors. Topped with the creamy, nutty blue cheese, Fourme d'Ambert, and accompanied by a red wine sauce, each bite pairs beautifully with seasonal asparagus and bamboo shoots, making for an elegant dish enhanced by the cheese's rich aroma.

• - Dessert: Hojicha-flavored Crème Brûlée with Citrus and Salted Milk Ice Cream

Concluding the dining experience is a light and aromatic hoji-cha crème brûlée. This dessert features a sauce that combines sweet adzuki beans, dekopon citrus, and hojicha, melting beautifully in your mouth. Accented with a fragrant almond croquant and smooth salted milk ice cream, guests can fully enjoy the depth of the hojicha aroma harmonizing with the citrus tang.
