Chocolate is always a hot topic at the beginning of the year. After all, Valentine's Day is coming up. Even if you are not on the gift-giving side, I think there are many people who are excited. Here is another topic of interest.
That is why the "LOTTECacao 70" of DO Cacao chocolate, a new chocolate that took 7 years to create, was used to create a dish arranged by Shusaku Toba.sio.." and "Hotel's," and that it is being offered through Tuesday, January 25.
Doves and Cacao" served at Hotel's
Inside the Trevis wrapper is a pigeon, millet rice, figs, burdock root , and chopped "do cacao chocolate".
Magazine to TV,Own YouTube channelToba is always in the news with his new restaurant, "Hotel's," which opened last year. This time, as part of the "DO Cacao Project," Toba created different cuisines at the two restaurants.
At Hotel's, a new take on the specialty "Dove and Millet Rice," "Dove and Cacao" is now available. Since pigeons eat grains, this dish was made into a grain salad. Not only do pigeon and chocolate go well together, but the fruity acidity and bitterness of the sweetened burdock root and chocolate work to the point.
The result is an unlikely gem that brings out the high potential of chocolate, which is no less than that of a luxury ingredient called pigeon.
Mackerel and cacao" served at sio.
Crepe, foam , and "DO Cacao chocolate" as ingredients.
On the other hand, "sio" has reworked the "mackerel and crepe" that was offered in the past into a dish called "mackerel and cacao. Various ingredients are wrapped in a soft crepe, creating a surprise when you eat it. The sourness and bitterness of the chocolate gradually accentuates the delicious flavor of the dried mackerel, as well as the sweetness of the fruits, nuts, and onions.
The DO Cacao chocolate used in this dish started as a project by Lotte Corporation to grow cacao seedlings in Papua New Guinea in order to create the best chocolate that maximizes the potential of the ingredients.
