Poisonous Puffer Fish. FUGU-LICIOUS!!
Sake the drink of choice. Fugu Fin steeped Sake in traditional wooden caddy.
Paper thin Fugu Sashimi, clean sweet taste with a delicate bounce. Fugu skin in a citrusy soy dressing. A bit rubbery.
Fried parts. Lightly coated pieces with delicate morsels. Yam and a nicely spicy Shisito good complements.
Next up: table grill. Definitely a Nose to Tail dinner. Recognized some stomach, intestines and bladder? Very nice.
Nabe with Fugu. Shitake, Napa Cabbage, Leek, Green Onion, Tofu and Noodle.
The “pot” was a Parchment lined Wicker with a metal Disc. The disc generates the heat from the Induction source. Great presentation. Gelatinous cubes added for body and Gold Flakes…just because??
The stock is then made into a Congee, a hand whipped thickened Egg Yolk is extruded into the pot thru a slotted spoon. Excellent theater and delicious with the elements of the fish and vegetables.
Lemon Sorbet and a Mochi-esque Ice Cream with Green Tea to finish a truly epic meal.
