Quintessence
カンテサンス
An introduction to Quintessence, a French dining establishment in Kita-Shinagawa. Experience the acclaimed goat milk bavarois, precisely cooked fish and meat courses, and thoughtful wine pairings across an omakase menu.
01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
Take a seat at Quintessence and you are handed a blank sheet of paper in place of a traditional menu. Tailored entirely to the day's fresh deliveries, dining here revolves around a single 1-course omakase meal. With no à la carte selections offered, guests simply place their trust in the sequence of singular dishes that unfold across the table.
Signaling the opening chapters of the meal, the signature goat milk bavarois encapsulates the kitchen's philosophy in a single bowl. The smooth richness of goat milk is balanced by toasted macadamia nuts, tender lily bulb, quality olive oil, and salt, allowing the pure depth of the ingredients to shine without unnecessary embellishment.
Moving into the middle and latter stages of the progression, the seafood and meat courses demonstrate precise control over heat and seasoning. Fish retains its inner moisture beneath crisp, fragrant skin, while meat is cooked gently to seal in natural juices, leaving a clean, light impression rather than relying on heavy sauces. An extensive wine pairing elevates each course further, weaving complementary aromas and flavors into the experience.
Dessert concludes the meal in multiple courses, featuring highlights such as a meringue-flavored ice, rounding off the dining experience on a high note. Alongside the refined main dining area stripped of extraneous decoration, private rooms are available, offering a serene setting to focus intently on each plate.
