About this dish

Burnt butter dashi, pickled green mango, finger lime.

The scallops arrive dry-packed from Hokkaido, which matters more than anything else on this plate — a wet-packed scallop steams instead of searing and will never take the colour we are after.

They go over binchōtan for thirty seconds a side. The burnt butter dashi is made each service and held warm, never reheated. Pickled green mango cuts the butter; finger lime is the last thing to touch the plate.
