Tempura-Fried Asparagus with Saikyo Miso vinaigrette.  Every spring we bring back the Tempura-Fried Asparagus with Saikyo Miso vinaigrette.

Also this spring we are introducing Grilled Asparagus served w. Japanese Pickled Plum and Shiso Vinaigrette.

Pickled plums, umeboshi, are a spring time tradition in Japan.  The Plum Tree blossoms first, before the Cherry blossoms arrive, and this really heralds the change of seasons.

Umeboshi is a unique tart taste coupled with Shiso, a Japanese style mint, that works great with the grilled asparagus.  Light, healthy, flavorful.
