Japanese-inspired Pâté de Campagne with Pork, Ox Tongue and Burdock by Fumiya Kase (a Michelin-Starred Chef-owner) 90-100g

This Japanese-inspired Pâté de Campagne is crafted by Fumiya Kase, a chef who earned one Michelin star for seven consecutive years at the renowned French restaurant "L’orgueil" in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo. It is a refined fusion of Japanese ingredients and classical French technique. Pâté de campagne, or “country-style pâté,” is a traditional French terrine made by combining coarsely ground meat with spices, then baking it in a mould. Known for its rustic character, it encapsulates the full richness of its ingredients with deep, comforting flavour. In this version, the savoury richness of pork is layered with the mellow depth of ox tongue, while the aromatic crunch of burdock root adds a uniquely Japanese note. The ox tongue imparts a silky, full-bodied umami, which is beautifully balanced by the earthy fragrance and texture of the burdock—creating a taste profile that is both nostalgic and refined. Serve with crusty bread or crackers for a casual starter, or enjoy it as a highlight on a special occasion platter. This is a one-of-a-kind dish that harmoniously brings together the soul of French tradition with the elegance of Japanese sensibility.
