YUME Tuna

Fragile, silent, and intense—that is the dream.

A dish born of water and silence. Inspired by slow gestures and unhurried flavors, each element has been conceived as part of an infusion—of sea, of light, of something unsaid. There is warmth and freshness in a single breath, textures that melt away and others that surprise. The base is as deep as the bottom of the sea, where time and flavor meet. Citrus notes emerge like distant echoes of lemon trees in bloom, bringing contrast and balance. But there are also secrets — hidden layers, silent intentions, elements that only reveal themselves to those who know how to listen with their taste buds. A dream served on a plate. Not to be understood — but felt.

The history of the dish can be found here, in the blog section of the website.

EN - Fragile, silent, and intense – that’s how a dream feels.

A dish born of water and silence. Inspired by slow gestures and flavors that don't rush, each element was designed as part of an infusion — of sea, of light, of something unspoken. There is warmth and freshness in a single breath, textures that melt and others that surprise. Its base is as deep as the ocean floor, where time and flavor meet. Citrus notes emerge like distant echoes of blooming lemon trees, bringing contrast and balance. But there are also secrets — hidden layers, silent intentions, elements that only reveal themselves to those who know how to listen with their palate. A dream served on a plate. Not to be understood — but to be felt.

The rest are little surprises of flavors and aromas.
