The traditional washoku cuisine of Japanese chef Mitsu Chonan arrives at the Academic Tables

On Wednesday, November 27th and Thursday, November 28th


Chef Mitsu Chonan of the family restaurant Chikeiken comes from the slopes of Mount Haguro, in the territory of Tsuruoka, part of the Yamagata prefecture.

For the first time in Italy and guest of the Pollenzo Academic Tables, she offers a traditional washoku style menu on Wednesday, November 27th and Thursday, November 28th.

The philosophy of the washoku kitchen focuses on respect for nature and the alternation of the seasons: even at the tables in Pollenzo, it is, therefore, possible to experiment with dishes prepared in the pursuit of constant perfection, harmony and good health. It will be possible to book two types of savoury menus and a dessert. 

The first menu “Ichiju Sansai” includes a miso soup prepared with Katsuobushi (bonito flakes) and seasonal vegetables with Fu bread, Japanese rice, marinated eggplant samples with chicken and mushrooms, Imogara (dried taro), Koyadofu (dried tofu), and Daikon in vinegar. 

The second menu consists of miso soup prepared with Kombu seaweed and seasonal vegetables with Koyadofu (dried tofu) and Japanese rice. 

The dessert is a sweet red bean soup with Mochi (a typical glutinous preparation with rice flour).
