Menu provided by 'THE POTAGE'

・Corn (CORN)
A special cold potage made only with salt and water, using only the rare "Ajikara" variety produced in the Niseko region of Hokkaido. The sweetness, aroma, and richness of Mirai, which has a sugar content of over 17°C and is sweeter than fruit in some cases, are expressed to the fullest with water and sea salt made using a traditional process in Sicily, Italy.

・WHITE ONION
White onions "Shinshiro" are grown in Kitami City, Hokkaido, a major onion production area. It is a rare variety grown only by a limited number of growers in Kitami City. The potage, which is derived from the ingredients from its rich sweetness and flavor to its silky thickness, is combined with sea salt and olive oil made by the traditional method of Sicily, Italy.

・TURNIP
Due to the difference in temperature between morning and evening, in the morning there is a thick fog that makes it impossible to see what lies ahead. This "morning fog" is the secret to producing sweet and juicy turnips. A rare and limited variety of turnip cultivated in the unique climate of the production area tastes like a fruit. In order to express the original flavor, aroma, and richness of turnips to the fullest, we use sea salt and olive oil produced using a traditional method in Sicily, Italy.

・BEETS
Beets, cultivated in Japan with limited production and without any reliance on pesticides, are full of the life force of the natural world and have a different natural sweetness. To maximize the sweetness and aroma of beets, we use sea salt and olive oil made by a traditional method in Sicily, Italy.
