The White House gave a sneak peek today at the food and décor for the Tuesday night State Dinner in honor of Japan’s prime minister and his wife. The guest chef for the evening will be Masaharu Morimoto of “Iron Chef” and the Morimoto restaurants in New York and Philadelphia.
The first course for tomorrow’s State Dinner is a toro tartare and Caesar sashimi salad.
Morimoto has been working with White House Executive Chef Cris Comerford and Executive Pastry Chef Susan Morrison on the menu, a celebration of American cuisine with Japanese touches. The first course, Toro Tartare and Caesar Sashimi Salad, pictured above, is wrapped in clear acetate and tied with a Mizuhiki cord. The second course, Vegetable Consomme En Croute and Shikai Maki, is a tribute to the First Lady Michelle Obama’s kitchen garden. The main course is American Wagyu Beef Tenderloin with Spring Vegetables and Maui Onion Veal Jus.
This is a blown sugar teapot surrounded by petit fours.
Dessert features a healthier take on cheesecake. It’s made of silken tofu and soy milk and accompanied by berries from Florida and White House honey. The petit four platter, pictured above, features an elaborate blown sugar tea pot decorated with edible cherry blossoms.

is the blue plate special she has chosen to be served to American youth.
Ping!
Just my guess, but I’m betting the Japanese PM sees plenty of Japanese food.
I’d serve him some Bubba Gump.
lol, that would be like serving me pasta. I’d compare it to mom’s and throw it at the wall :)
btw, some picture in previous post of what moochelle wants the peasant’s kids to eat. how do people with low breeding get so high class so fast? I probably would lol
“Toro Tartare”
What is that, raw bull?
Wife teaches. They still have the Mooch Standards. She says the trash cans are full. Hope the FFA kids get to feed it to the pigs. Then someone someplace can have some bacon. :>)
lol
And those few of us remaining who pay taxes are footing the bill for kids to be fed that crap. Disgusting. While Zero and The Mooch live and eat high on the hog.
What is that, raw bull?
Pressed and formed lawn clippings.
LOL!
“Toro Tartare”
What is that, raw bull?
Depends on which end of El Toro it comes from.
Who ever the chef is, he’s overpaid
Yike !
Served at all Mexican state dinners?
“We don’t need no steenking Wagyu!”
;^)
With eyeballs!
Now THAT’s what they call marbling! I hear Wagyu is produced here, in a few states.
Tot is the BEST part of the tuna. The most desired. It is tuna belly and has a lot of fat. It is VERY expensive and flavorful.
It’s around $20 and up for a sushi serving. Yum!
It is. I buy it in the supermarkets here in LA from time to time. But the quality is not the same as Japanese.
