Shintaro @ Four Seasons Bangkok to Launch Ayu Promotion

Ayu, a small fish native to many rivers, lakes and coastal waters of Japan, is celebrated as being one of the tastiest of all river fish, especially when skewered and grilled over a fire.

As it has a distinctive sweet flavor with aromas of melon and cucumber, Ayu is known as sweet fish and remains a favorite in Japanese cuisine.

To many Japanese gourmands, the word Ayu conjures up images of summer, the countryside, and sweet aroma.

Now the Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok is preparing to celebrate the fish with an Ayu promotion.

Chef Sawada at Shintaro has prepared a special a la carte menu featuring Ayu. The menu will be available from Tuesday, 3 July until Monday, 16 July 2012 for lunch and dinner. Prices range from THB 520 to THB 980.

Menu highlights include Ayu Shioyaki (Grilled Sweet Fish with Sea Salt, Served with Date Vinegar Dip), Ayu No Arai (Ice Shocked Slice Sweet Fish Sashimi Served with Mustard Miso, Plum Sauce), Ayu Kabayaki Don (Grilled Sweet Fish with Soy Sauce, Arima Pepper Corn on Steam Rice Served with Clear Soup) and many other delectable dishes.

Advanced reservations are recommended.
