“Sourcing the best ingredients from producers around the world isn’t a new habit for Tirpse, we’re always on the lookout for unique and rare ingredients” explains chef Yuta Shimizu. “What isn’t usual is that for this menu, we’ve brought in a lot of fresh produce. We want to create dishes that are bright, sweet and beautiful to look at. We could use lemon juice, but lemon has a residual bitterness to it, Japanese yuzu, on the other hand, is a very clean citrus flavour. It’s pure. We brought in Californian cherries because they are large, plump, very juicy and beautifully deep and rich in colour.”

Tirpse's summer menu launches on June 22, 2021 and includes two lunch options, the select menu or the executive lunch, with three or four dishes respectively. Included in the meal are amuse bouche as well as coffee and tea. The executive lunch also includes hand-crafted petit four to finish the meal. Prices for the lunch menu start at HK$598. The dinner menu is comprised of six inspired courses. Tirpse’s summer dinner menu starts at HK$1,488 per guest. A supplemental charge entitles diners to free-flowing Michel Arnould champagne.
