The long overdue catch up on a year of dining experiences continues with the stunning Matsubagani course at Ginza Komon—the kaiseki evolution of the much loved, and now relocated, kappo/izakaya Kirakutei. 🥰🦀❤️🍶

Part 1 | Full menu & sake list below:👇🏻

白子茶碗蒸し 白トリュフ乗せて
Shirako chawan-mushi with white truffles 🍄

香箱蟹からの甲羅酒
Koubako seko-gani (female zuwai-gani/snow crab) and kourazake 🦀🍶
The red ovaries are called “uchiko”, the dark-coloured eggs are called “sotoko”. After eating 95%, you pour kourazake into the shell.
Kourazake is warm sake (40ºC) infused with the crab’s claw/shell, which is poured into the shell to release more aroma and to wash down the last remnants of crab meat, kani-miso and eggs.
