Our maitake is back on the menu. For this seasonal iteration we glaze the maitake with plum balsamic and grill it on charcoal, along with freshly made kaofu, seasoned with grünkern-tamari. Pickled kumquat and nasturtium mayonnaise add freshness to the plate and our multi-layered black garlic emulsion brings the dish together.
