— A Quiet Prelude in Seasonal Harmony —
Zarugai clams are rarely seen in Japan, making them a truly special ingredient.
At Shirato, we gently cook the clams to preserve their natural texture and purity.
The flesh remains remarkably fresh and tender, offering a clean umami and subtle sweetness.
We pair it with the delicate sweetness of lily bulb and a touch of citrus acidity,
composing the dish as a light salad that allows each element to speak clearly.
A calm interplay of sea, root, and citrus.
This dish is served as a quiet, reflective opening to the course.
