amazing by far the best fruit sandwich i’ve ever eaten (i’ve eaten 1) see you for dinner soup curry, another Sapporo must-try dish describing their dashi at least i think so, she was holding dashi ingredients triple otoshi ume lotus root sweet, salty and sour with a fruity flavour and extremely crisp texture boiled mustard greens with bonito fresh, green and bonito-y the dashi had a very complex flavour, tons of umami the lotus root was my favourite, even drank the sauce lol this restaurant was playing a lot of copyrighted music so the audio cuts in and out, sorry about that this was the grilled chicken set meal a surprisingly light looking broth but incredibly rich in flavour although dashi has a gentle flavour, it is very concentrated it even stands up to the powerful flavour of curry in a perfect balance this is like no other curry i’ve had before, extremely delicious and unique fried flatfish it was fried crispy and rehydrated in the curry another outstanding complex flavour charcoal grilled chicken thigh so tender and moist each of the individual elements are done so well… pumpkin the flavourful curry is complimented by the mild starchy squash look at how tender this chicken is… outstanding chicken custom condiments chili paste chili + pepper mackerel + pepper garlic + pepper each added another dimension of umami and spice very interestingly, these were all peppers with no salt garlic pepper was my favourite tororo kombu i actually didn’t enjoy the slimy texture this gave the curry mizuna (Japanese mustard greens) this fish was unbelievably delicious best part of the curry by far an outstanding very creative curry meal set i hope you enjoyed this video please like and subscribe if you did my food adventure from Sapporo will continue soon
