— Where Boldness Meets Refinement —
At Shirato, we focus on drawing out the true character of each ingredient through careful preparation.
This dish brings together nitarikujira whale meat and makomodake, a seasonal aquatic vegetable.
The whale meat is meticulously prepared, with thorough blood removal to achieve clarity and depth of flavor.
Makomodake is lightly deep-fried and marinated, offering both aroma and freshness as a counterpoint.
A Sichuan-inspired sauce adds layered spice and richness,
while a finishing touch of wild garlic leaf oil envelops the dish in gentle aromatic warmth.
The result is a balance of strength and delicacy—
a quiet yet powerful expression that reflects Shirato’s approach to cuisine.
