I am not a big fan of four hand dinner etc as most of the time the visiting chef is handicapped by the sourcing and space and the receiving chef cannot produce what he usually can do.
Sometimes it does work though and so was this one.
Gert De Mangeleer, who changed his concept totally when he got tired of cooking for 40 people three stars everyday, knows how to cook. He also is bold and daring as to serve to Japanese audience mostly Japanese inspired dishes.
His first caviar (of three) dishes was a fake otoro with uni, herbs and flowers. The fake otoro was actually a minced hamachi mixed with beef fat. Interesting and very tasty. The main, also by Gert De Mangeleer, was a plate with various wagyu from Kagoshima some grilled and some raw and the charred with binchotan on the plate itself. Same, interesting and tasty.
The wine pairing contained nothing really special but considering the overall price not surprising.
Overall a very pleasant evening and judging from a lively chatter one which everybody enjoyed .
