Foie Gras Tempura
Press Release
Wine connoisseurs and enthusiasts of Japanese cuisine alike are invited to a one-night-only epicurean journey entitled Harmony of Flavors: A Yurakuen Wine Dinner hosted at Diamond Hotel Philippines’ renowned Japanese restaurant Yurakuen.
This culinary event promises an exploration of Japanese artistry through food, featuring fine ingredients paired with premium wines. The evening begins with an indulgent trio of appetizers — King Crab with Egg Yolk Vinegar Sauce, Cream Croquettes with Edamame Purée, and Japanese Scallop Temaki with Red Wine Sauce — perfectly paired with the sweetness of Umeshu. A second appetizer of Oyster and Caviar with Yuzu Ponzu offers a refreshing lift, complemented by Piccini Toscana Bianco.
To awaken the senses, a delicately flavored Dobin Mushi Sea Bream and Mushroom Soup is served, followed by a light, refreshing Hamachi Crudo with yuzu, jalapeño, and melon. From the grill, the Charcoal-Grilled Chilean Sea Bass Wrapped in Sugi-ita brings drama and a subtle smokiness, matched with Caliterra Reserva Chardonnay.
For a decadent twist, Foie Gras Tempura with Blueberry Sauce and Almond-Crusted Prawn is paired with the vibrant Casa Albali Garnacha Rosé. A citrusy Yuzuno Shizukku sorbet refreshes the palate before the evening’s centerpiece, A5 Kagoshima Wagyu Steak with Moro Miso, is served with a hot stone for a signature sizzle alongside Chateau La Plaige Bordeaux Supérieur.
The journey continues with Cold Inaniwa Udon with Ikura, a delicacy once reserved for Japanese nobility paired with Les Classiques Sauvignon Blanc. For the grand finale, the exquisite Anmitsu Brûlée — with sweet potato custard, adzuki paste, miso caramel, and gold-dusted chocolate — is served with Terre Forti Trebbiano.
Priced at Php 6,980 net per person, this celebration of flavor and craftsmanship promises a dining experience unlike any other.
Harmony of Flavors: A Yurakuen Wine Dinner will take place on Thursday, August 28, 2025, 7:00 PM at the Yurakuen main dining room. Guests are requested to observe smart casual attire.
