I have been visiting Kohaku every year since 2014, but this was my first time visiting in the middle of summer. I was filled with excitement to see what exquisite dishes would be served as I arrived at 8:00 PM on a weekday.This time, I dined with the owner-chef of a super popular Italian restaurant that my husband and I frequently visit, making it a party of three.Here’s the menu for the evening, featuring 11 dishes:1. Wagyu Tataki with Snake Cucumber and Dashi Jelly2. Young Sweetfish with Truffle Sauce and Sticky Rice3. Grilled Scallop Miso Soup4. Biwa Masu with Secret Jelly, Hamo Roe, and the Aroma of Shaoxing Wine5. Kyu-kai Saikyo Grilled Fish with Burdock Cake and Caviar6. White Sesame Tofu with Karasumi, Grated Green Onion, and Soy Sauce7. Kamo Eggplant with Mitsuba and Timur Pepper8. Kohaku Noodles with Black Truffle and Egg Yolk Soy Sauce9. Abalone Rice10. Matcha Mochi11. Rum Ice Cream with Mago, Water Shield, and Black HoneyThe innovative menu that breaks free from traditional Japanese cuisine was truly impressive, and every dish was of impeccable quality.My dining companions were also greatly impressed, and it was delightful to see them make their next reservation on the spot.I look forward to returning in October!
