We welcome Megumi Takeyama, the founder of MEGUMI’S Supper Club and the owner of RISE Japanese Bakery & Bar located in the heart of London. RISE is the only official bakery using Dojima’s sake kasu for their artisanal products. Megumi confesses to be an insatiable food lover who uses food as her canvas to convey the beauty of Japanese culture.
With collaboration with Megumi, we have created a beautiful celebratory Hina Matsuri menu which we hope will entertain the eyes and satisfy the taste buds.
Known as “Girls’ Day” or “Doll Festival” in English, Hina Matsuri is a Japanese annual festival which takes place on 3rd March. This day is dedicated to celebrate and pray for the good health and happiness of young girls. On the day of Hina Matsuri, families gethar and enjoy traditional delicacies such as chirashi-sushi, clear clam soup, hina-arare (colourful rice crackers) and hishi-mochi (diamond-shaped layered mochi cake) and amazake.
Our Hina Matsuri Dinner will be an omakase style 8 course menu using carefully selected ingredients and Dojima’s sake kasu.
