Japanese Mud Food
After the Journey of Clay Cuisines,
Japanese Mud foods are ridiculously wonderful,
Ne Quittez Pas , you may be wondering what this means,
actually this is the French restaurant in Tokyo, Japan which means “Please Don’t
Leave”.
It offers French Dishes and “Dirt
Dishes”, Of course you can think it may Mud Chocolate Cake type dishes, if you
think in that way well you just stepped into Wet Mud Pit.
Dirt dishes are purely made of
Mud, dirt, soil, whatever you call.
Chef Toshio Tanabe uses this safe
soil which is taken from 10 miles underground and tested in lab for impurities
like pollution, contamination, lead which he buys from Kanuma, Tochigi.
He uses two types of soils, mostly
Black soil and white soil for lighter food.
His cuisine contains of six dishes
Potato and Soil Soup
Dirt risotto with sautéed sea bass
Salad with dirt dressing
Dirt Ice cream
Dirt gratin
soil mint tea.
Aspic
with Oriental Clams and Top Layer of Sediment
After the dirt arrives, he lightly
cooks it to release the flavour, then runs it through a sieve to remove any
stray grains of sand.
But Tanabe’s pride and joy is the
“soil surprise,” a dirt-covered potato ball with a truffle centre.
