Apparently it's quite famous in Kanazawa. Overall, his dishes were very well received and I don't even recall a negative remark. Kobe's dishes looked good and he managed to pull off the Italian part pretty well. His filo pastries looked good as well as the appetizers. The blood orange juice marinated shirako turned a pink color due to the juice.
Blood oranges are red inside and have a red juice, hence the name.
The panacetta looked interesting. Panacetta is seasoned and cured versus bacon with is smoked. I missed the prep and judging of the cappuccino. I wish I had seen that. It sounds ghastly.
