This menu will be available starting June 1 and runs through August 31, offering guests a chance to experience bold and vibrant flavors that encapsulate the essence of summer.

Culinary Inspiration
Drawing inspiration from the coastal regions of Sicily and Sardinia, the new menu emphasizes fresh seafood paired with seasonal fruits and vegetables.

The celebrated Executive Chef Matthias Sutter invites guests to embark on a gastronomic adventure that showcases the beauty of summer through artfully presented courses.

Menu Highlights

- Starting the evening, guests will be treated to a canape made with sweet fruit tomatoes from Shizuoka, fresh red tuna from Aomori, and topped off with exquisite caviar from Miyazaki. An elegant introduction to the meal, this dish sets high expectations for the dining experience.

2. Second Amuse-Bouche:
- Following the first, the next dish features succulent lobster paired with zucchini and accompanied by a unique sauce made with Nara's Hayama eggs, garnished with shaved bottarga. It’s a delightful combination of textures and flavors that highlight the restaurant's commitment to seasonal ingredients.

3. Appetizer:
- Guests will then enjoy marinated sardines delicately served with an aromatic dill juice and olive oil sauce, theatrically finished at the table to enhance their dining experience with enticing aromas of lemon and dill.

4. Risotto:
- An exquisite burnt risotto made from a blend of ten grains serves as a base for tender, steamed eel from Kagoshima. The dish is finished with crispy rice chips, onion pickles, and sweet-scented sansho powder. A warm chicken consomme is poured over it, creating a symphony of flavors in one dish that celebrates the season’s best produce.

5. Pasta:
- Indulging in rich flavors, the linguine with sea urchin and locally sourced wheat from Hokkaido is a standout, perfectly balanced with the heat of chili and paprika.
