The garnish included sausages, mushrooms, and fernbrake, which balanced the rich flavors.
The pork belly was surprisingly chewy and not greasy, leading to many compliments around the table.
The wasabi sauce paired well with the black pig, adding a pleasant kick.
The combination of the pickles and seasoned vegetables was also delightful.
The fernbrake, glistening with oil, was incredibly appetizing and further whetted our appetites.

We thoroughly enjoyed the fresh ingredients and variety of dishes.
