A very good but expensive lunch at $50/person before tip for 4 items.
persimmons, burrata, radicchio, pomegranate, hazelnut
This refreshing salad is lightly dressed with a sweet and sour vinaigrette. There’s a good mix of salinity and creaminess from burrata contrasting against the crunchy hazelnut, bitter raddicchio, and pops of sweetness from the pomegranate .
dashi broth, a5 wagyu beef, market vegetables, tofu, mushroom, nori, egg
The broth has excellent depth of flavor especially with some of the wagyu fat rendered. However I do wish the wagyu shavings are a touch thicker for a more enjoyable texture.
satsuki rice porridge, scallop, uni, smoked salmon roe, chowder, pecorino
The porridge texture is basically a cross between risotto and porridge. On the other hand, the pristine trio of smoked roes, seared scallop and uni are slightly overpowered by the richness of the porridge. I also noticed that the restaurant is now skimping on additional seafood while charging $38 a pop!
souffle pancake, lemon curd, whipped cream, raspberry, graham crumble
These pancakes aren’t the usual jiggly kind that have now become common. It’s more like a cross between cake and souffle but still very enjoyable nonetheless.
