COMMENT

The vivid colors of ingredients such as yellowtail, scallion, and quail egg are wonderful.

  1. Just yamakake alone would feel too casual, so we toss freshly toasted sesame and nori with the grated mountain yam, mix scallions into a jelly finished with a second addition of bonito flakes, and plate them together. We present it as an upscale yamakake made with yellowtail cured in kelp.
