SEASONAL KAISEKI
Kaiseki is the art balancing the taste, texture, appearance, and colors of food in Japanese culinary culture. Seki means seasonal; therefore kaiseki menus are seasonally changed. Using each season ' s best ingredients is the key to kaiseki. Summer ' s kaiseki includes 10 dishes highlighted by tomatoes and seaweed appetizers, green tea soba, Katsuo tataki salad, and octopus with amazu sauce. Katsuo tataki( skipjack tuna) is a delightful salad with katsuo tataki mixed with white and red seaweed, daikon sprouts, and the special sauce. Chilled soba noodles on a tray of ice cubes is the main course. When enjoying this dish, dip the noodles in soy sauce seasoned with spring onion and thin strips of ginger. The May ' s menu also includes grilled beltfish rolles with potato, mochi cakes wrapped inside fresh oak leaves, and octopus served with a tangy sauce.
