EXPERIMENT

What happens when you marinate burrata in white miso for 2 hours before serving? And does burnt honey actually work as a sweet-salty contrast?

RESULT

Yes — completely. The miso adds a quiet depth that you feel more than taste. The burnt honey cuts the richness perfectly. It looked almost too simple on the plate but tasted like something from a restaurant I couldn't afford.

EXPERIMENT

Koji is used for sake and miso — what does it do to chicken if you age it for 48 hours? Testing texture and umami development.

RESULT

The results were genuinely strange and genuinely good. The texture changed — silkier, denser. The flavor deepened in a way that normal marinades don't achieve. It tasted older, in the best possible sense. Will never make chicken another way.
