JAPANESE THEME

Look forward to experiencing flavors from Japanese cuisine on February 6th – we’re getting a head start this week by serving Japanese dishes throughout the week. Japanese cuisine is rich in tradition and craftsmanship, nourishment, and delicious taste. While the ingredients are often simple, the preparation requires great precision and skilled craftsmanship to achieve the perfect flavor, which is typically mild, nuanced, and elegant, as well as the right texture. Prior to this Japanese theme, your head chef has attended a Japanese cooking course at Meyers Madhus, taught by Kondo Sasaki, who also curated the dishes for this theme based on his cookbook 'My Japanese Kitchen'.

So, get ready to dive into the flavors of Japanese cuisine.

Enjoy.
