The elegant meal was countered with a touch of modern sophistication as scrumptious bites of glazed short rib over potatoes boulangère, zucchini risotto and rich, mini chocolate ganache cups came served on two unique lines of plates designed by Ana Roquero. The Yayoi and Jōmon were both used to plate the dishes throughout the meal, expertly incorporating a modern design into a unique, elegant experience.
