[Tasting] Ortho soup stock Tokyo "Summer course" Spices and herbs! It's like traveling to Asia!

July has begun, and the season when the sun is shining is just around the corner. At "also Soup Stock Tokyo," a soup pot and wine shop in Jiyugaoka, Tokyo, the "Asia Course for Traveling with Spices" has started, which announces the arrival of summer.

This is the perfect summer course with dishes inspired by Asian dining tables. There are 10 courses (4,900 yen) and 13 courses (5,900 yen) that you can choose from the main course. Both come with free drinks.

The writer who is already in a state of heat after a series of hot and humid days. I ate it at once to cheer up with the hot country food.

・ Welcome soup
The course starts with a refreshing cold soup. Cucumber puree is mixed with the base of potatoes and onions. A refreshing taste with the sourness of plums and the spiciness of ginger. The fresh taste of seasonal cucumbers pops in your mouth.


・ Seasonal appetizer
Next, an appetizer with Asian dishes. On this day, Vietnam's "raw spring roll lemon chili sauce", South Korea's "chijimi doubanjiang soy sauce" and "rampakchinamuru", Thai "yam wun sen" and "carrot som tam". All of them are addictive and delicious with herbs and spices as accents.


The most impressive one was the fresh spring rolls. The refreshing sensation of mint with plenty of it and the taste of shrimp are a perfect match. You can fully enjoy the refreshing summer flavor.


・ Gado-gado salad of seasonal vegetables and avocado
As the name of "gado-gado" means to mix, a salad that mixes cabbage, paprika, zucchini, avocado, etc. Compared to appetizers with a strong ethnic flavor, this one has a better taste than Japanese style. Peanuts accentuate the taste and texture. Above all, I'm glad that I can eat plenty of seasonal vegetables!


・ Kai Yang of chicken wings
Thai food seasoned with sweet chili sauce and nam pla. The aroma of chicken wings stimulates your appetite. Furthermore, the sweet and spicy taste that is fully entwined makes it unstoppable to eat! Finally, the flavor of coriander that goes through your nose is a very refreshing dish.




・ Thai-style aqua pazza with lemongrass
The main dish is finally here. When you open the lid of the big pot, you can see plenty of seafood, tomatoes, herbs, etc. along with the steam of warmth. The scent of lime drifts softly.


Not only each ingredient, but also the soup with umami is excellent! The deep taste gently permeates the body. Even on days when you have no appetite due to the heat, you can eat it easily. It's great to add a smooth and smooth pho to the 〆!


For the 13-course course, you can choose the main from aqua pazza, samgyetang of whole chicken, ripe tomato and salted chicken soup. I'm glad that Lassi comes out at the end.


All the dishes are moderately spicy and it seems that they are traveling around Asia while eating. While sharing the platter with everyone, you can enjoy it as if you were traveling. Let's survive the summer well on a refreshing course that blows away the heat!
