The menu spotlights premium ingredients, such as fresh snow crab from Hokkaido, Sicilian red prawns and three kinds of Sicilian tomatoes, Japanese eggplant and myoga (ginger flower). Before concluding the evening on a sweet note, diners will be pleasantly surprise with the unmissable Chef Sasaki’s signature specialty of aglio olio e pepperoncino that is only available on his seasonal menu series.
