HOKKAIDO HORSE HAIR CRAB AND OYSTERS IN ALL THEIR TASTY GLORY
Treasure the stimulating culinary essences of Japanese mid-winter in Kisso Japanese Restaurant’s inimitable style.
Hokkaido Horse Hair Crab, aka kegani, and Hokkaido Oysters possess culinary qualities all their own but their popularity and seasonality make them hard to catch too far from their main hunting grounds in the seas around Japan.
Fortunately that only makes the season-centric chefs at the award-winning Kisso Japanese Restaurant all the more passionate in their pursuit.
You can always count on them to secure ample supplies, air-lifted to Bangkok from the market, especially from January to February while the specimens are in their annual prime in terms of flavor, proportion and texture.
So look forward to four special menus of each.
Exquisite horsehair crab dishes include:
• Grilled horsehair crab topped with crab innards in crab shell
• Deep-fried horsehair crab in shell/sweet chili sauce
• Sake-steamed horsehair crab, snow crab and crab claw/Japanese citrus sauce with grated Japanese radish.
• Horsehair crab, snow crab, crab claw and vegetables hotpot/Japanese citrus sauce and sesame sauce.
Oyster options range:
• Fresh Japanese oyster/Japanese citrus sauce & lemon
• Oyster, organic tofu and vegetables in small paper hot pot/Japanese citrus sauce and sesame sauce
• Bread-fried oyster topped with tartar sauce & salmon roe.
• Sake-steamed Japanese oyster with Japanese citrus sauce, onion, leak and grated Japanese radish
Treat yourself to the season’s prime seafood specialties express-delivered from Hokkaido as Kisso yet again gets closest in Bangkok to the authentic experience of dining in Japan.
