My visit this time I am in order to enjoy Christmas dinner which will launch special on December 25th, 2017 later. With enthusiasm of course I can not wait to taste the typical dishes Akira Back like one of my favorite is, Tuna Pizza.
The presentation is quite tempting, just like a round pizza, the bottom of a crunchy pizza dough with a layer of tuna pieces on it. The fragrant aroma of the truffles, the crisp dough texture is very delicious and the tuna with perfect seasonings. Followed by a second dish, Seared Halibut.
Serving halibut with spicy teriyaki sauce tastes delicious and soft with solid texture in same time. Crunchy fried skin really tasty and there are lobster and spinach, barley rissotto is bright green and creamy. Spinach taste is quite dominant and for the lobster itself is not so much here.
After the fish, there is also a dish of chicken. Spring Chicken & Foei Roulade, pieces of chicken meat processed into roulade with a little foie gras in the middle. Then comes with a dark brown gravy mushroom, a bright yellow mashed butternut squash and do not forget the cranberry compote on the other side with a dark red color. The dish is very delicious when all the elements are put together to create creations that taste rich and amazing.
The last main dish is Wagyu Cheek. From the name itself, of course this is a dish that will satisfy your appetite. Chopped wagyu meat that has been processed with brownish color, savory taste combined with smoke potato foam super soft and creamy, some satsuma imo gnocchi, red wine & braising jus with dark color. Each element provides a different taste and does not forget there is Truffle Crusted Bone Marrow, a bone with a melted fat and a really delicious flavor.
After some savory food, do not miss the sweet and cold dessert. We were presented with the Black Forest. A striking difference with the usual black forest, following the Christmas theme, white kirschwaser foam like snow, a unique sour cherry mousse flavor, based on a gentle valrhona guana brownie and dark chocolate gelato cold. Sweet flavor combined with the element of the rum is strong enough to provide the right balance of taste.
