Noodles and broths with eggs, an abundance of crustaceans, lightly-dressed raw fish---the similarities between Japanese and Italian cuisine are striking. At Ame, husband-and-wife team Hiro Sone and Lissa Doumani of St. Helena favorite, Terra, manage to fuse and play upon the flavors of both. The sashimi bar may include tempura “poke” with ogo seaweed, Hawaiian sea salt and green onions, or ceviche of local halibut with avocado, radish and jalapeño citrus sauce. Chawan mushi (Japanese egg custard) with lobster, sea urchin and mitsuba sauce is a standout dish. We also recommend the saké-marinated broiled Alaskan black cod with shrimp dumplings. Desserts might include a green tea affogato with pistachio ice cream or the brown butter chocolate ganache crunch with Amontillado sherry ice cream. Beverages range from an excellent wine and saké list to specialty cocktails. |
