On 31 August, Ichigo Ichie presents a one-day only fine-dining kappo menu featuring Japanese teas in an exquisite array of forms. Curated by Chef Akane Eno, the 9-course menu ($298++ per person) highlights a range of teas from Inokura Tea Farm in Nara Prefecture, which retail exclusively in Singapore at HULS Gallery. Yusuke Shibata, founder of HULS Gallery Singapore and Tokyo, will introduce the teas to guests at the event.
With this special menu, Chef Eno continues to share her unique set of sanpō yoshi – the centuries-old art of reciprocity and treasuring relationships in doing business. Chef Eno met Shibata-san in 2018 when he supplied fine Japanese tableware to Sushi Kimura where she was Head Chef. She then became a regular visitor at HULS Gallery where she revelled in the curation of fine crafts from Japan.
And when Chef Eno worked on opening her own restaurant, she envisioned a wall for display her favourite crafts and discussed it with Shibata-san, who helped to bring her concept to life. Now, two years later, when HULS Gallery introduced teas to their showcase of Japanese artisanship, Chef Eno creates an elegant menu to showcase the versatility and depth of their new offerings.
The culinary celebration of tea includes highlights such as Biwamasu Zuke with ‘Tamayura’ Kabuse Green Tea Leaf, Murasaki Uni with ‘Kiu’ Kabuse Green Tea Leaf and Koshihikari Rice and Peach and Verbena with ‘Kiu’ Kabuse Green Tea Leaf.
Savour the many facets of Japanese teas with the exquisite one-day menu at Ichigo Ichie.
