WORLD CHEFS: Narisawa serves up sake to enhance local ingredients, dishes - Duluth News Tribune

Narisawa, ranked among the top restaurants in the world and considered Tokyo's finest French eatery, serves more than 60 types of sake with the dishes on its menu. Dishes for an early spring include Akazaebi, or langoustine shrimp, with various green peas and petals of rucola flowers and viola. The dish has five flavors, saltiness, sweetness, acidity and umami, which comes from the essence of konbu, or kelp. I have pride in myself that I am running a restaurant that represents Japan, so I want my customers to try quality sake in the right way. Source: www.duluthnewstribune.com
