The Recommended Spring Seasonal Menus at Kitaohji Bangkok
In this session, we will take a look at spectacular menus which we would like to recommend for every enjoyer of great food to experience.
Sakura Dai Hot Pot
Red Sea Bream, which is named in Japanese as Madai or Tai, is one of the acclaimed seasonal delicacies that is traditionally used as the main ingredients for spring seasonal menus in Japanese cuisine tradition. The coloration of red on the fish’s skin, which could be caught wild only in spring and autumn, for the two seasons are the times of the year that red sea breams would migrate to the shallow area near the shore. The Madai that was caught in spring would be named ‘Sakura Dai’ signaling the blooming of spring by invoking the universal imagery of sakura, the cherry blossom red sea bream.
Cherry Blossom Red Sea Bream or Sakura Dai then often was served raw or slightly processed, usually in the context of celebratory events to welcome spring every year. This popularity and difficulty-to-sourcing made Sakura Dai fetch high prices in markets. Kitaohji Bangkok brought to Bangkok this tradition of seasonal celebration in the “Spring” Seasonal Menu of “Sakura Dai Hot Pot’.
“Sakura Dai Hot Pot” is the seasonal menu in which Sakura Dai (or Cherry Blossom Red Sea Breams) are prepared by meticulously sliced and served together with Kitaohji Bangkok’s special hot soup. Sakura Dai are known for their firmness in texture for they built their muscles naturally while swimming in the notoriously strong currents of the Inland Seto Sea, where they were caught. The practice of having a hot pot menu with the special kind of fish, therefore, would bring out the exceptional soft and firm texture of Sakura Dai, while accentuating the refreshing taste of the fish.
