How Master Chef Yasu Tanaka Makes Sea Urchin Risotto - Omakase

  • Chef Yasu Tanaka comes from a long line of clocksmiths, which gives him an eye for detail, precision, and ingenuity. He has channeled those attributes into his work as a master sushi chef at Azabu in Miami, especially when it comes to his seafood risotto, which he has engineered to be rich without using cream, but with crab, uni, and shirako instead.

      So does real carbonara..
      But buying good cheese especially ones that goes well for risotto isnt so easy when ur outside Italy, or Europe in general..
      So in some places/countries, they need to add some cream in the risotto..
      Im not judging the chef, but I guess some restaurants from where he came from uses cream as they cannot afford the expensive cheeses.
      Nb: I came from a not-so-advanced country, and "italian" restaurants here use cream a lot in carbonara and risotto.
