November Dinner Pa'ina Menu

Kabocha Squash Bisque | Brown Butter, coconut cream, toasted pumpkin seeds

*Wine Pairing: Acrobat Pinot Gris, Willamette Valley, Oregon: Its crisp acidity and subtle pear, citrus, and floral notes will balance the brown butter and coconut cream while complementing the squash’s natural sweetness.

Kampachi Crudo | Persimmon, cucumber, hawaiian chili pepper, citrus shoyu, crispy ginger threads

*Wine Pairing: Henri Bourgeois Sancerre Blanc, Loire Valley, FR: Bright acidity cuts through the citrus shoyu and richness of kampachi while complementing persimmon and cucumber.

Crispy Skin Onaga | Sweet potato puree, charred bok choy, coconut buerr blanc, unagi sauce, ogo tomato relish

*Wine Pairing: Louis Jadot Chablis, Burgundy FR: Mineral-driven acidity refreshes the palate against the beurre blanc, sweet potato, and unagi sauce without overpowering the delicate fish.

Fennel & Herb Porchetta | Roasted stuffed pork loin, crispy pork belly, Okinawan sweet potato duchess, oyster mushroom, pineapple mostrada, pork jus

*Wine Pairing: Goldeneye Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley: Earthy, silky, and fruit-forward enough for pork, mushrooms, pineapple mostrada, and the savory jus.

Pumpkin Cheesecake | Kabocha cheesecake, dark chocolate cremeux, macadamia praline, salted caramel, lilikoi sorbet

*Wine Pairing: Dow’s 10-Year Tawny Port: Nutty caramel, dried fruit, and baking-spice notes pair beautifully with pumpkin, dark chocolate, macadamia, and salted caramel.

*Enhance your dinner with an additional wine pairing experience specially selected for this menu for an extra $75 per person.
