Spring 5-Course Degustation Menu

A kaffir lime leaf parfait topped with raspberries and draped in a delicate juniper berry sheet, drizzled with rose gel and completed with sanshou pepper, Fromage blanc cream and olive oil caviar. It was paired with a traditional Japanese shochu, the Koi Shiso.

This was a really complex dessert. I am not a big fan of intensely floral flavors so this wasn't my favorite among the five courses, but my dining partner really enjoyed this one. I loved the melt in my mouth cream which helped blend all the flavors together. The contrasting texture provided by the popping caviar and soft chewy jelly was absolutely divine.

And the way it was presented on a shiny silver platter made it look even more beautiful and delicate.
