5.) Red Snapper with the Casual Encounter
The delicate flakiness of the snapper is perfectly prepared with a crispy skin and served in a contrasting Thai curry sauce with mussels, bell pepper relish, sea beans, ice plant, sushi rice, and caramelized banana. Every bite is a like a command performance where you marvel at the unexpected unison of each element.
The Casual Encounter is one of Morimoto’s classic collection with Rain cucumber vodka, lemon, and Domaine di Canton ginger liqueur. It is chosen to both complement and echo the curry notes – the sweetness of the ginger in the cocktail bounces off the complexity of the sauce, adding a perfumed effect, while the lemon cuts cleanly through the crisp skin, allowing the elegance of the fish to shine.
