Message from Masamichi Higurashi Once again, the staff at Salon Christie have created a menu inspired by the foods and drinks featured in the Sherlock Holmes stories. Some dishes use ingredients typical of England during the time Holmes was active. I hope you enjoy them while recalling both the original stories and their film adaptations, including the now-familiar (and personally beloved) 'Meerschaum Beer.'
