Winter treasures at Yamazato
Yamazato, the Japanese restaurant on the 24th floor of the Okura Prestige Bangkok, is thinking of chilly winter in Japan with its Gozen menu on offer until January 28 for both lunch and supper.
The Gozen lunch platter includes five-coloured marinated vegetables, shrimp and smoked duck with egg yolk vinegar and okra, sashimi, simmered yellowtail, radish, carrots and snow peas.
The Kaiseki dinner menu begins with tofu skin in soy sauce, herring roe, crab-meat, eggplant and maitake mushroom. That’s followed by monkfish-liver dumpling soup, tuna, yellow-tail, clam and shrimp sashimi, and grilled Spanish mackerel and scallop with yuzu confit and sansho pepper.
Then comes a dish of simmered salmon with sake lees, turnip, carrots and shiitake mushrooms and tempura of shrimp, snow crab, pond smelt, elingi mushrooms, sweet potato and green pepper.
And finally there’s hot vermicelli with oyster, shimeji mushrooms, honewort and a hint of yuzu.
The Winter Gozen lunch costs Bt1,300-plus and the Kaiseki dinner Bt4,500-plus.
