"Kasumi Tasting Set" for Easy Sake Comparisons

The "Kasumi Tasting Set" includes a choice of three sake selections or three wines, along with five selected small bites. Especially recommended is the sake "tasting," featuring small pours of selected sake mainly from Ehime Prefecture, paired with creative dishes made with seasonal ingredients. A sommelier also recommends the best sake to match the day's dishes. Ordering the set first also means the usual otoshi appetizer is waived.

"Hojo-Style Sea Bream Rice" cooked in a donabe pot

"Hojo-Style Sea Bream Rice"

Tai meshi (sea bream rice) is a traditional local dish long associated with the Hojo area of Ehime Prefecture. A whole sea bream is placed in a donabe clay pot and slowly cooked with rice in a soy sauce-based dashi enriched with kombu kelp umami. As it cooks, the flavor of the sea bream permeates each grain of rice, while opening the lid releases the rich aromas of the dashi and fish. The tender, flaky sea bream and savory rice create a refined combination that highlights the natural character of the ingredients through a simple cooking method. The dish is well suited both to experiencing Ehime's regional cuisine and to a leisurely meal paired with sake.
