Kaiseki-style presentation of eight fried tarantulas without batter, soft slightly collapsed fried texture with glossy surface, arranged carefully on a handcrafted ceramic plate in a Japanese ryokan tatami room. The arrangement is minimal yet grouped artistically. Served with blanched spinach, daikon slices, and cucumber garnish. Dipping options include soy sauce, miso paste, and matcha salt powder.
