Anyway, today's post is on Sant Pau, a 2 Michelin star restaurant in Tokyo. It is located in Nihonbashi 日本橋, which has many offices and can also be a shopping spot as it has the luxury brands such as Hermes.
So here's the food.
Amber, jellyfish, turmeric, pork fat, green pepper
So many ingredients in just one dish! The taste was quite interesting
Crispy cornet, foal tartare, beetroot
Now, this restaurant really pays attention to it presentation!
Sea urchin, violet carrot, courgette
To be honest I forgot what it tastes like!
Scallop with lentils, enoki, green papaya
One of the best dishes of the day as I love everything on this plate.
Ika
Pretty dish and the red heart thing is just cute!
Sawara with winter leeks, mini onion, carrot puree
Main!
Fish with squid ink
Without looking at the menu, my first thought was like oh damn this is a Spanish restaurant so they will serve ham at least once. And since this is 2 star why not just try?!
But boy I'm wrong! It's actually strawberry jam!!! What a pleasant surprise! And it goes really well with the cheese and pistachio cake.
Pre dessert
Sakura mochi with lily bulb and white chocolate
Hands down one of the best desserts I have had in my whole life. But this restaurant is famous for their dessert so they really live up to their name.
The pink mochi is mixed with lily bulb so it really melts in your mouth. And the combination with the white chocolate ice cream is just out of this world. Oh and the flower is edible :)
Iced lollipop
Petit 4
Actually, not 4 but 10!!! Hahaha
Mini crema catalana
It's like creme brulle
Nori and cacao, although the cacao can't be seen.
This restaurant really puts an effort in presenting their food. But to the honest some of the taste is quite mild, except for the fish dishes. And I didn't particularly like the fish with squid ink although I enjoy squid ink paella. LOL. But their dishes are quite innovative so I think they deserve 2 stars.
