From 19-28 April, Honjo transports you to Sapporo in Hokkaido. Priced at $880 per person with an optional $480 drinks pairing, the Sakura Dinner Menu curated by Honjo’s Executive Chef Stephan Joubert pays homage to the northernmost region of Japan with its rich culinary heritage and fresh ingredients.
Begin with a selection of Honjo starters such as the Yuzu Salmon, edamame, and spinach paired with Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut NV – capturing the essence of Sapporo’s vibrant flavours. The second course serves up a harmonious blend of land and sea with Wagyu Tataki and Scallop & Toro Tartare. These are accompanied by Yasakaturu Kame no O Kurabu and Junmai Ginjo from Kyoto, with a delightful nose of sweet melon.
The Sakura Sushi & Sashimi course at Honjo features a curated selection of the finest sushi, seasonal sashimi, and Sakura Futomaki with crab meat, sake, cucumber, tamago, tobiko, inari, and negi, paired along with Four Fox Junmai Daiginjo Sake.
Transitioning into the warmth of the Hot Tasty Hokkaido course, guests can savour Sea Bass Misoyaki and a comforting Miso Ramen that will transport you to Hokkaido. These are paired with the full bodied Louis Latour Pinot Noir Les Pierres Dorees 2020, with rich notes of black cherry, mocha, nutmeg, and licorice.
The meal concludes with a shared dessert of Sakura Monaka, complemented by Clos-Haut Peyraguey Sauternes 2007 with hints of honey and lush stone fruit.
