Foie Gras Monument: an amber cube, a white sphere and a thin arc of pastry standing on a black mirrored plate
01

Foie Gras Monument

What it is

Wrapped on the outside with Nanko-ume plum jam, with layers of foie gras cream, brown-sugar biscuit and lavender no-bake cheesecake inside.

Why these elements

Foie gras paired with the sweetness and acidity of fruit is a classic combination in French cuisine. I kept that classic principle intact and rebuilt it with Japanese ingredients and sensibility.

How the dish came together

It took about a year of testing to complete. The textures were adjusted so that the foie gras and Nanko-ume soften at the same moment in the mouth. Even the moment when the form begins to collapse as the knife goes in is considered part of the experience of the dish.

Flower Crown Bouquet

Paper-thin slices of daikon are layered one by one like flower petals. Inside are celeriac, prepared to bring out its aroma, and lobster. The dish is eaten by scooping them up together with the daikon.

Because it is the first dish, I want guests to begin by enjoying the food with their eyes. It is arranged like a bouquet so that, from the moment it reaches the table, guests look forward to what will follow.

The more you chew, the juicier it gets.

The meat itself carries the seasoning, so with every bite, flavour comes out together with the juices.

As you continue eating, the mouth fills more and more with those juices — a sensation you do not often encounter in a meat course.

The condition of meat varies even within the same cut, depending on the individual animal and the distribution of fat. The cooking is therefore adjusted after assessing the meat that day.
