Paul, no. Just a reduction of a good French roast whipped with mirin, seasoned with a bit of salt and fine ground white pepper, strained, then whipped again and poured into the (black bowls) before setting in the slices of round tofu. Topped with crushed coffee beans mixed with toasted sesame and a few strands of fine lemon zest. Did I mention this menu was for 32 people? I had two assistants.
