recent "desserts" at 1st Umami tasting @Kata Robata

why "desserts" in quotes?

at the 1st Umami tasting @Kata Robata, Chef Hori-san loved the idea of having a menu that would alternate courses between Kata Robata and me.  So, I was able to create a couple dishes that were more along the savory side, but still have touches of sweet.
