Discover thalee ling's New Summer Dinner Course

• -thalee ling-, a modern Thai restaurant in Yoyogi-Uehara, has launched its new dinner course titled 'Natsubatake', starting from July 3, 2026. This course celebrates the vibrant flavors of summer by utilizing seasonal ingredients sourced from various producers across Japan.

The new course encapsulates the essence of summer through aromatic, tangy, and fermented flavors that are true to Thai cuisine. Each dish is carefully crafted to express the robust scents and energy of summer.

Culinary Highlights of 'Natsubatake'

The course begins with 'Kaoyam', a rice salad featuring grilled large mackerel topped with a refreshing blue plum sauce, pickled eggplant, and a chili vinegar dressing for a perfect summer dish. The following dish, 'Green Curry Cold Soup', presents a smooth terrine of red sea ray from Kochi Prefecture, served chilled with edible flowers, creating a refreshing balance on a hot summer day.

As the course progresses, diners are introduced to 'Kuityiao Roat', which consists of fermented pork rolled with octopus, delicately steamed and accompanied by seasonal bitter melon. Another standout dish is 'Tom Hoipaofuu', which combines simmered abalone with a rich liver sauce, garnished with a zucchini flower tempura and a salad that bursts with flavors. This dish is set to impress with its intense but delicate taste.

Towards the end, a cold corn and edamame chawanmushi, named 'Guen Chuu Taofu', lightens the palate. Finally, 'Guen Panen', a curry with a base of coconut milk enhanced by fresh tomatoes and peanuts, adds an exciting complexity, marking a peak experience in the meal.

To conclude the meal, enjoy 'Kanom Horapa', a gelato infused with the spicy aroma of holy basil, paired with semi-dried kiwi and lychee jelly, providing a soothing coolness to the body.
