Saki Bar and Food Emporium
4 West Smithfield, London, EC1A 9JX www.saki-food.com
May 19: Food. Launching London's first Shojin Kaiseki tasting menu. Shojin
Kaiseki is an integral part of Japanese cuisine that features strictly
vegetarian Ingredients in its many refined dishes, all of which are steeped
in tradition and history, dating back to the introduction of Buddhism in
Japan back in the 6th Century. This ancient form of cuisine has for centuries
been a vital part of the healthy and well-balanced Japanese diet but up
to now has rarely been seen on menus in the west as it has to be done properly
and requires specialist skills that
are often taught to a chef over many years of culinary tuition. Yoshitaka
Onozaki, Saki's new Head Chef, is the only chef in the UK with dedicated
experience to introduce this delicate cuisine to London. Shojin Kaiseki
reflects the seasons. Its
main ingredients are vegetables, beans, seeds and nuts, prepared according
to the season.Opening hours: lunch - 12-14.15pm Monday to Friday, dinner
- 6.30 to 11pm Monday to Saturday. Must be booked 24 hours in advance.
Shojin kaiseki menu is priced at £65 for six courses and includes
a sake or non alcoholic cocktail as an aperitif. |
