◾️ Introducing: Firefly Squid, Clam, and Rapeseed Blossom in Sea Bream Broth, Topped with White Shrimp Fritters
We have gently layered seasonal ingredients to create a dish that brightens your mood during this transitional season. The sea bream bones are roasted until fragrant and then slow-cooked in a pressure cooker in-house to extract their rich umami. This base is combined with firefly squid, clams, and bittersweet rapeseed blossoms to create a colorful, uniquely spring-like flavor. It is a 'Genovese' unlike any you have tasted before, blending sea bream broth with a rapeseed blossom paste.
The crispy, sweet white shrimp fritters further enhance the deliciousness of the dish.

Sea Bream Broth Extracted from Bream Bones
Our sea bream broth is made by roasting the bones in an oven and extracting the umami in a pressure cooker. By using bones roasted to perfection at 250°C, we have created a sauce that concentrates the umami and aroma of the sea bream.
Rapeseed Blossom Genovese Style
We have crafted a homemade paste that brings out the gentle sweetness and slight bitterness of rapeseed blossoms. This seasonal Genovese style dish offers a soft, spreading aroma.
