A small kaiseki menu in summer
A few days ago, we had a small, very nice Sake tasting event, our cuisine also delighted our experienced regular guests.
After receiving such wonderful feedback on the menu, we are seizing the opportunity for all our other guests and offering them the chance to try a small mini kaiseki menu at our restaurant for a few days at the end of June 2025 / beginning of July 2025...
Mini Kaiseki Menu
„Mini“ should be taken relatively in this menu. Because a A kaiseki menu typically consists of 7 to 11 courses. – 7 courses may seem rather modest, but they are definitely filling. So, from our point of view, especially if good food is supposed to make you happy...
Shukõ - Summer appetizers to accompany sake
Typically Japanese – there is actually a course name that means „small bites to accompany sake.“ After all, the Kaiseki cuisine also originated from the banquets of the Buke, the feudal warrior class in Japan, so enjoyment is a must:
- Squid and okra in plum sauce
- Octopus and wakame in vinegar marinade
- Salmon roe with grated radish
- Steamed duck breast
- Seaweed tempura with crab meat
Wanmono - Bowl dish
A chawanmushi with sea urchin. This is a cold, cooked Japanese egg custard, so it's not sweet, and due to its consistency and position on the menu, this course is served without sake.
Shiizakana - Meat dish
In traditional kaiseki cuisine, a „shiizakana“ is a hearty dish containing meat, often a hot stew in winter. Here, in summer, it is a refreshing tataki, made from Japanese Wagyū beef, of course. Something very special indeed. We serve this tataki on a sauce of orange and vinegar, with fresh spring onions and shiso leaves.
Yakimono - Grilled dish
Next up is a yakimono, a grilled dish. Black cod tamamiso dengaku, grilled shishito peppers, and baby corn, with the black cod grilled in a slightly sweet saikyo miso paste.
Agemono - Tempura
For several years now, our tempura has been considered the benchmark in Japan by Michelin-starred connoisseurs of Munich's gastronomy. Here comes a summery eggplant and eel sandwich.
Sushi - Omakase
Three nigiri of the chefs' choice
Optional extras available on request:
Chirashi sushi with bluefin tuna, salmon, egg custard, salmon caviar, and sugar snap peas + $18
Kanmi - Dessert
Soufflé cheesecake and Japanese sake affogato
Sake accompaniment
As always, and as an insider tip, we can provide an escort from absolute Premium sake, From Japanese "easy to drink" to exciting solitaire. For the current menu, we have selected a range of very different sakes from different producers, which we believe go well with the season and the dishes and offer a cross-section of what is available.
