I love Japanese gastronomy because of its search for the quintessence of taste, refinement and purity. Examples of my favourite products include matcha, saké sediment, sobacha and genmaicha. It found it interesting to reinterpret my culinary world through symbolic Japanese products like sushi and maki. I love the idea of a framework or a constraint to release creativity.

Four delicious & refined creations
SIGNATURE
tuna, green apple, dill and sobacha
Tuna coated with cardamom-fl avoured honey and Tasmanian peppercorns, celeriac and green apple remoulade, avocado, red chicory, dill, sobacha
The combination of dill, green apple and sobacha creates a balance. Dill’s aniseed and herbaceous notes develop a fl oral and aromatic base when combined with the slight acidity of apple. Sobacha, roasted buckwheat seeds, adds some self-indulgence and body while working with tuna’s salty notes.
SOBACHA, also called ‟buckwheat tea”, is an infusion of toasted and roasted buckwheat seeds.
CALIFORNIA
Goat cheese, matcha green tea and bergamot
Goat cheese, matcha green tea, bergamot, ginger, genmaicha
Bergamot has a very fl oral and slightly bitter taste which perfectly draws out the bitterness of matcha tea. Grilled rice genmaicha balances out this combination and adds a roasted, full-bodied fl avour.
GENMAICHA is made from a blend of Japanese green tea and wild puffed rice.MATCHA TEA is an extremely fine green tea powder. Very refined, this tea is carefully made in Japan from
WOODLAND MAKI
Button mushrooms, rose geranium, ginger
Button mushrooms, rose geranium, ginger
The combination of rose geranium, yuzu and ginger brings together bitter, spicy and fl oral fl avours. Rose geranium gives off a lemon-like scent reminiscent of Damask roses which draws on the acidity of the yuzu. Ginger works to enhance the fl avour by bringing out fl oral notes and adding freshness.
ROSE GERANIUM is a fragrant plant native to South Africa which has a rose-like scent.
SUSHI
with yellow tail, sage and lemon balm pesto, smoked tea
Yellow tail, spinach, sage and lemon balm pesto, smoked tea
The combination of smoked tea, sage & lemon balm is very fresh, minty and almost camphorated. The tea’s smoky bitterness helps to develop a full aromatic palette when combined with something herbal. The combination of sage & lemon balm creates a beautiful freshness, similar to that of green cardamom but also with an oaky element.
MELISSA, known as ‟lemon balm”, is an lemon-scented aromatic plant from the Mediterranean.
