Kisso kissed by sakura petals
The spirit, flavours and cherry blossoms that make spring such a romantic time in Japan inspire the seasonal menus at award-winning restaurant Kisso through June.
Taking Kisso’s guiding principle – “to everything a season” – to heart, the perfectionist chefs have selected cherry blossoms as the core ingredient of their Sakura Soba Noodles.
Homemade noodles become all the more appetising when blended with actual sakura petals. Adding a tantalising floral vibrancy and cute pink appeal to the bowl, the noodle dishes captures the fragile and fleeting essence of this radiant pink blossom from Japan.
The noodles are served chilled and hot, with vegetables and shrimp tempura, or with beef, or with the chef’s signature Sakura noodle dip, among others. Prices range from Bt250 to Bt320 per bowl.
All are served in Kisso’s strikingly contemporary atmosphere, contrasted with traditional earthenware pots and rustic wood flooring. With its open kitchen, there’s a finely calibrated buzz that resonates evenly throughout the main dining area, sushi bar and private tatami rooms.
Kisso is open for lunch daily from noon to 2.30 and dinner from 6 to 10.30. It’s on the eighth floor of the Westin Grande Sukhumvit Bangkok.
