Served with Senkin cold sake (around 5-10°C) to enhance the aroma. Starting with a fragrant sake tightens the initial impression. The sake 'Senkin', which is so modern that it is labeled as 'modern', plays a role in raising expectations for today's course at Washoku Makotaro. Sake cup, Tokkuri.

Red sea bream, sesame soy sauce, sesame, and kinome. The delicacy of the Phoenix Shikishima bream is enveloped by sesame soy sauce, while the sharpness of the Phoenix Shikishima enhances its umami. The acidity of the sake creates a three-dimensional aftertaste, achieving a level of perfection akin to white wine and fish dishes. A pairing that showcases Japanese characteristics through the layering of flavors rather than relying on aroma. Sake cup and tokkuri.

Hamo tempura, sea urchin, plum crystal, Hon wasabi, Junmai sake of Yamahai, Junmai sake of Nakaguchi. Served chilled at 12 to 14 degrees, or warm, it is delicious. Chilled (12-14°C): Enhances the aroma of plum crystal and wasabi, emphasizing freshness. Warm (around 40°C): Expands the umami of sea urchin and hamo, increasing the overall harmony. This dish, with its many layers of flavor, is skillfully brought together by Bunfuku from a slightly reserved position. The sake does not dominate but acts as a 'finishing touch' to maintain the overall quality. When warmed, the umami spreads, and when chilled, the aroma stands out, creating an intelligent pairing. Sake cup, Tokkuri.

Shine Muscat, fresh ham, and yogurt espuma create a refreshing reset, combined with carbonated Japanese black tea soda.
