The Joy Of Sake At Tokoro – Robatayaki & Whisky Bar

Robatayaki & Whisky Bar at Langham Place, Mongkok, Hong Kong is set to stir the city's dining scene with an exclusive six-course Joy of Sake dinner menu available until 30 April 2013, unveiling the secrets of the appreciated rice wine favourite of many.

Showcasing the contemporary Japanese approach to sake and food pairing, the six-course feast features the freshest seasonal catch and ingredients to be matched with six premium sake to quench your thirst. The menu is available at HK$680, and with an additional HK$300 guests will also enjoy a pairing of six glasses of sake.

The dedicatedly designed menu leads with three creatively presented appetisers.  These exquisite treats are recommended to pair with DASSAI 50% Centrifugal Separator Junmai Daiginjo and TEDORIGAWA YOSHIDA GURA Junmai Daiginjo to bring out their mild sweetness.

With exceptionally fresh and natural flavours, MASUMI SANKA Junmai Daiginjo, is a perfect match with the near-translucent Thin-Sliced Flounder, Fresh and Dried Cod Roe, Seaweed.  The inclusion of both fresh and dried cod roe presents a harmonious textual contrast, truly reflecting Chef's mastery of ingredients.

The luscious combo of Robatayaki (Cod Fish, Black Pepper; Black Angus Beef Skewer, Cherry Tomato, Spicy Egg Sauce; Taraba Crab, Ponzu Sauce) is then recommended to go with SOHOMARE KIMOTO Junmai Daiginjo, which is carefully brewed using the traditional Kimoto method to give a soft and slightly creamy taste to the palate.

Matching the Golden-fried Kumamoto Oyster, Mehikari Fish Coated with Edamame, Caviar is the well-rounded RIHAKU Junmai Daiginjo for its clean and crisp acidity.

The dinner continues with the Sakura Chirasi Sushi with Japanese Sea Eel, Salmon Roe, Crab Meat Stick, Egg and a romantic touch of sakura, best served with the gentle and smooth DEWA-ZAKURA AIYAMA Junmai Daiginjo.

The journey of flavourful Japanese cuisine is finished with Passion Fruit Mousse, Passiona Fruit-Chocolate Crémeux, Green Tea Génoise, Green Tea Ice Cream.
