<\/p>\n

High politics will dominate Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe\u2019s visit to the White House on Tuesday, but there will still be time for some haute cuisine.<\/p>\n

At a state dinner Abe, US President Barack Obama and hundreds of other guests will tuck into an array of food that links Japan and the US, with a touch of influence from President Obama\u2019s home state of Hawaii.<\/p>\n

For starters guest chef Masaharu Morimoto will rustle up his fusion take on a salad classic \u2014 the \u201cToro Tartare and Caesar Sashimi Salad.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe salad is wrapped in a clear acetate and tied with Mizuhiki cord emulating a gift to be opened,\u201d according to the program.<\/p>\n

Then a consomme will be given a twist with bok choy and Wailea hearts of palm and bamboo shoots from Hawaii.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is served with a crisp Hawaiian pineapple tempura topped with a sliver of cured ham from Virginia.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Blue-Trimmed<\/p>\n

The main course will be roasted American wagyu beef with Spring vegetables.<\/p>\n

For dessert the American-style cheesecake will get a spin with the addition of silken tofu and soymilk and a selection of seasonal berries from Florida.<\/p>\n

All the dishes will be served on a new 11-piece State China Service, which was designed by Michael Smith in consultation with Michelle Obama.<\/p>\n

Instead of opting for the traditional primary red or blue normally seen, the First Lady opted for a blue \u201cinspired by the waters\u201d off the coast of Hawaii \u2014 a \u201cKailua blue.\u201d<\/p>\n

The food will be washed down with sake \u2014 Dassai\u2019s 23 for a toast \u2014 a Freeman 2013 \u201cRyo-fu\u201d Chardonnay and a 2010 Morlet Pinot Noir.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
