Exquisite Savor of the Choicest Veal

Roasted veal from milk-fed calves raised in the verdant expanse of Memuro, Hokkaido. Treasured by the chef, faintly pink veal is sublimely savory and tender.
A smooth Maltaise sauce composed of egg yolk and orange juice emphasizes the spring-like aura of fresh white asparagus.
