Kaiseki Zen: specially curated set menu’s at Spectra. Kaiseki is a traditional multi course Japanese dinner with a lot of emphasis on skills, techniques and art of plating.
Kaiseki is a type of art form that balances the taste, texture, appearance, and colours of food. Originally, kaiseki comprised a bowl of miso soup and three side dishes this is now instead the standard form of Japanese-style cuisine generally, referred to as a (setto, ‘set’).
Our meal started with a Salad, which had lettuce, cucumber , cherry tomatoes and Kaiso (A type of Seaweed)
(Incidently once we started showing our inquisitiveness about the types of Seaweed, the chefs were kind enough too bring out samples of Kaiso, Wakame and Kombu (Photos below)

Next part of our set Menu consisted of a Sashimi and A Sushi Platter served along with pickled ginger, pickled Radish and Wasabi.
The Salmon and Tuna Sashimi were fresh and were delicious. I particularly enjoyed the Rolled japanese Omlette, Tamagoyaki, which was served with the platter, which was garnished with some Mayo and Tuna Roe.

These Set Menus are available at the Spectra for Lunch and Dinner till the 2nd of July, though I understand that many of them will be available as part of their Ala Carte menu at the Spectra going forward.
The festival was definitely a revelation to me personally because Chef makwana and his team pulled of a perfect meal and I would rate it as one of the best places for Japanese Cuisine in the City Now.
DONT MISS IT !!
