Sweet Treats at Taku

At our Michelin-starred omakase in London, we go beyond the traditional by offering a selection of sophisticated sweet treats that perfectly conclude our tasting menus. Unlike many omakase experiences, where desserts are often minimal, we have crafted four unique sweet courses, each designed to complement the journey through our culinary offerings, along with a carefully paired tea. Here’s a look at our current dessert menu in the:

Small Clear Glass: Begin with our refreshing palate cleanser—shaved ice infused with plum wine, topped with umeboshi (fermented plum) and fresh grapefruit. This dish prepares your taste buds with its light and delicate flavours.

Big Ceramic Bowl: The main dessert is a delicate soy flower, nestled atop a base of Nikka whiskey cream, apricot compote, and apricot sauce. Finished with a light foam made from soy milk used in Japanese tofu and topped with Kinako tuiles crafted from roasted soybean powder, this dessert offers a balanced, not overly sweet taste.

Small Ceramic Glass: Next is our sweet white peach donburi, featuring Tsuyahime rice, a smooth basmati cream, shiso-compressed peach, and a hannaho jelly. This dish offers a delightful balance of sweetness and fragrance, capturing the essence of Japanese-inspired desserts.

Rectangle Plate: To conclude, we serve a praline gavotte—roasted hazelnut cream with freshly shaved almonds. This final bite provides a satisfying crunch and a rich, nutty finish, rounding out the dessert experience.

Tea Pairing: Enhancing the dessert journey, we pair these creations with a cold brew honey orchid oolong tea from the Phoenix Mountains. This tea's floral and slightly sweet notes complement the desserts perfectly, providing a refreshing counterpoint to the sweetness.
