Part 3/8:
Before indulging in the main course, diners are treated to a trio of appetizers that set the tone for the meal.
The first dish showcases a side of seaweed beans accompanied by fresh corn and Japanese pickles, providing a refreshing start. A cabbage salad features an oil-free dressing that strikes an exquisite balance of tartness and subtle saltiness. The rich pork chunks simmered in a sweet and savory broth offer a gel-like texture from the cartilage, contrasting nicely with the lean meat.
Accompanied by a bowl of white rice and a hearty pork miso soup, the meal continues with flavors that reflect both tradition and innovation. The miso soup stands out for its robust pork flavor, enhanced by the sweetness of onion daon and carrot.
