This is an appetizer. Based on the theme of "whale culture" that is rooted in Onagawa Town, located in the eastern part of Miyagi Prefecture, we thought that by eating whale, an ancient Japanese ingredient, we could create an opportunity to reexamine traditional food culture. Saezuri is the tongue of the whale, a rare part that is very fatty and tender. It has a strong unique aroma, so after thoroughly soaking it in water overnight, it will disappear if you boil it for a long time in hot water and soy pulp. In this state, we will serve it with a light flavor with a strong vinegar flavor.
The word "Date" is taken from Date Masamune, a Sengoku period warlord from "Sendai, the City of Trees," and we have used slightly unconventional and flashy tableware that can be associated with it.
