A Fish Dish Taiyaki Style

Meals are not only our fuel but also entertainment for us. A great chef makes both elements his or her mission in the kitchen.
This taiyaki dish idea came from this joint mission.
Taiyaki is a popular snack in Japan. This dish is made with actual red snapper meat instead of regular red sweet bean paste and served as a dish in Kaiseki cuisine.
The sauce is made with red snapper milt and lily root.
It is as eye catching as it is satisfying.



鯛のたい焼き

食事はエンターテインメントでもあります。レストランのシェフ達は美味しいものを作るだけでなく、お客さんをいかに楽しませるかも使命のひとつであります。
この鯛のたい焼きは、シェフのそんな思いから生まれました。
日本の定番おやつであるたい焼きを、懐石料理の魚の一品として提供します。
たい焼きの中身は鯛の身とすり身が詰まっており、ソースは鯛の白子と百合根で頂きます。

見た目から心が躍る、楽しいながらも魚のディッシュにふさわしい一品です。
