The curtain is up! My exhibition at Mitsukoshi Department store started yesterday, as did the "Euan Kaiseki" course at Kappo Toyoda. It has been a very hard schedule to make up time after the fever, but it all worked out and opened successfully!
This is my first exhibition at Mitsukoshi, which is the oldest and most prestigious department store in Japan. I am very pleased with the display, the staff have been fantastic and their advice has been invaluable.
The full course "Kaiseki" menu at Toyoda is amazing (as always)! This really is the culmination of years of collaboration between Hashimoto san and I, and the new works come to life with the cuisine. The pinnacle must be this "Usuzukuri" sashimi plate with chattering and a celadon glaze. The interaction between the lace like translucency of the sashimi and the chattering is just magic.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Euan, It looks absolutely beautiful. The sashimi plate is magnificent.
ReplyDeleteThanks everybody,
ReplyDeleteThe exhibition is going very well, the demonstrations were a huge success and the meal, well what can I say. They had so many bookings last Saturday they came and borrowed extra plates and bowls! It has been a fantastic event so far, and there's only one week left. It has also been a great educational experience for me, and I have learnt a great deal which I will put to good effect in future events.
Cheers,
Euan
