Fusion cuisine. Japanese-Catalan mushroom cooking

In Barcelona there is a Japanese restaurant that draws on the fact that the Japanese and Catalan peoples are crazy about mushrooms.

It is the Restaurant Shojiro after its chef Shojiro Ochi. In a very interesting fusion cooking, Shojiro fusions shimejis with onions from Figueres - most excellent Japanese mushrooms with most excellent onions to prepare an imaginative Japanese soup with a Catalan touch. I love traditional cuisines, but sometimes fusion cuisine can have a magic appeal.

For your reference, Figueres is the Catalan town where famous painter Salvador Dalí was born, and where the Dalí Museum was built. Salvador Dalí was from the Empordà, a Catalan region with delicious sea-mountain dishes and a very special wine. The Empordà has the Mediterranean Sea in one side and mountains on the other, and its specialty cuisine reflects its beautiful landscape in a superb way.

The address of Restaurant Shojiro is Ros de Olano 11, Barcelona. As for the Dalí Museum, once you are in Figueres, anyone will give you directions. People are very proud of their international artist and Museum.
