Cherry Trout

This Spring, Hirohisa presents lightly pickled cherry trout. The trout is marinated lightly in soy sauce. Then, it is dressed with pickled wasabi flower and cherry blossoms. The flowers are pickled with salt rather than soy sauce. Culturally, in Japan, this dish evokes the beginning of Spring.
