Bangkok--7 May--The Westin Grande Sukhumvit
The delights of summer dining in Japan are now starring in Bangkok, too, at the season-centric Kisso Japanese Restaurant, 8fl. The Westin Grande Sukhumvit, Bangkok.
Throughout May and June, Kisso's award-winning chefs offer a nourishing and stimulating a la carte menu devoted to two of the summer season's fresh and flavorsome favorites:
- Aji (Japanese Horse Mackerel)
- Ayu (Japanese Sweet Fish)
Aji, or Japanese Horse Mackerel, has quite firm flesh, meaty and almost crunchy. The distinctive flavor is subtle but delicious and the delicate pink flesh is appealing to the eye.
