Exactly the reason I've been struggling with it lately. (and, I've been very much enjoying your book). First, I apologize if I offended in any way. Second, I apologize for not being well informed of the salt used. My favorite courses were the 2nd course (with the homemade walnut miso and the tofu) and I did very much enjoy the rice and steak. I think I was looking for that "this is the best thing I've every had" experience because I had been having a huge streak of writer's block. I enjoyed meeting you and will look for more meals when you tour next.

I thought it was the best Japanese Farm Food dinner so far since I started touring with my book last September. However, I would like to clear up a few misconceptions. First: we did not use Maldon salt. We used Wajimakaen salt from the Noto Peninsula of Japan. Also I brought homemade miso as well as two other local organic misos from Japan. And I brought homemade soy sauce as well as our local organic Japanese soy sauce. And I brought konbu, katsuobushi, and sesame from Japan. Here is the menu just in case you wanted to refresh your memory.<br /><br />The produce came from small local growers via the San Rafael farmers' market and the fish, clams, meat, and eggs were local as well.<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Radishes with Homemade Miso<br />Salt-Massaged Turnips and Turnip Greens<br />Asparagus with Homemade Soy Sauce and Katsuobushi<br />Soy Sauce-Marinated Egg<br />Citrus-Marinated Halibut Sashimi with Sea Salt<br /><br />Wild Arugula with Walnut-Miso<br />Smashed Tofu with Fava Beans and Sesame-Miso<br />Seared Yellowtail Tataki with Homemade Soy Sauce<br /><br />Sake-Steamed Manila Clams with Miso<br /><br />Soy Sauce-Seared Beef<br />Blue Brass Soy Sauce Vinaigrette Salad<br />Hachisu Homegrown Brown Rice with Black Sesame<br /><br />Sake Lees Ice Cream with<br />Poached Kumquat & ManderquatNancy Singleton Hachisuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033294717453938563noreply@blogger.com
