Umami

On Monday, Hiro Sone will roll out SF's first-ever tasting menu specifically designed to showcase Umami, the mysterious "fifth taste": the essence of protein, once unlocked by MSG, here summoned by natural ingredients like soybean, wheat, and seasalt. Start off with Umam-ized raw bites like nuka pickle/ponzu kampachi carpaccio (citrussy/tart/tangy yellowtail), hit your stride with hot mains like sake-marinated cod in minty shiso broth, then finish things off with caramel ice cream w/ shoyu powder (a substance guaranteed to shoyu the meaty).
