The renewal of the interior at La belle époque and spring cuisine
White Asparagus
The Season had come again. The spring brings white asparagus. As usual spring, I have been to la ber epoque to enjoy white asparagus. This time, I had attended to my mother to introduce the taste of white asparagus.
The white
asparagus is the seasonal vegetable. White asparagus on the market informs us
the timing when the spring is coming. The white body, a little bit bitter and
sweet taste, lovely soft but fibre texture and the flavour of soil has shown
the length of winter and seasonal cycle of the nature. This ingredient is
generally cooked as poiret (roasted with butter), steamed with butter or stuff
into the soup etc.
Renewed interior but the taste and presentation were kept La belle époque style.
On my
visiting to la Belle Epoque in Hotel Okura, we had tried two cooking method of
white asparagus, steamed with butter and poiret. I had preferred the poiret
which had rich with the fibre texture and the essence of taste and flavour from
white asparagus. The steamed with butter was very nice at la Belle epoque. The
degree of the cooked temperature and duration was perfect to bring out to the
dish. The creamy and less fibre texture has juicy vegetable soup from itself.
The bitterness was little bit stronger in poiret one.

As the
conclusion of our discussion, steamed with butter, generally cooked in Japan,
was the best in our idea.

On the first article, I would like to write about my favourite hotel bar, which a part of the American are very familiar to the location of bar. This bar will open noon.
The glass of windows are large, but the interior is the British motif like British pub. The pub in UK have very small window for cold winter. In the beautiful afternoon, I feel very comfortable with brown beverage and sunshine from the window. In the evening, I am able to relax and enjoy the cocktail and liquor in the classical and formal mood. On the noon time, you will hear the Beatles lines, but on the night, will hear the comfortable noise of people talking.
I had chose the gin and tonic and gimlet on my visit. The tonic water was come from UK, very sweet one. I have felt the classical texture from the cocktails. The gimlet they served was according to the very classical recipe, shaken gin with lime juice(I think that was Meijiya's lime juice).
After several drinks, I recommend you to go through the lobby of main building to your room. The quiet and tensioned atmosphere is very nice for your nightcap.
When I am starving, I make it a rule to order the Japanese wagu steak sandwich. I will enjoy the luxury and tasty beef, but we cannot enjoy that in London or other city in the world (Except BA burger in the British airways lounge in LHR). Please try it when you visit the bar(lux pub).
