RONIN
Concept Cake · Seven Virtues of Bushido, inspired by Bushido: the Way of the Warrior
RONIN translates its seven virtues into seven ingredients, turning philosophy into flavor. Integrity becomes sesame; respect, foie gras; courage, cannabis; honor, miso; compassion, koji; honesty, pear; and loyalty, bourbon. Layered as black sesame mousse, foie gras mousseline, liquid shio koji caramel, burnt pear gelée, and Purple Kush red miso sponge, the composition is finished with red copper scales and edible gold—a dessert conceived as both ritual and edible sculpture.
