GAULT MILLAU 13/20

.01

A Particularly innovative concept in the old slaughterhouse district of Antwerp. Restaurant, shop and event location under one roof. The main focus is on preparations from Japanese food culture. Special attention is paid to koji and various garums whose enzymatic power can elicit a special texture and umami from ingredients such as fish after a short fermentation. We tasted mackerel that has been briefly roasted in combination with fermented umeboshi and fresh wasabi topped with Japanese ginger. Monkfish that has matured with enzymes for two days is grilled perfectly on the barbecue. A slightly spicy sauce with shredded Ibérico and shrimp provides an extra boost, just like fermented daikon. Innovative and immediately good for a chef’s hat.

Whoever steps into the hidden world of DOJO is perplexed. You enter an impressive industrial site where owners Dennis and Valeriya set up their Japanese-tinted restaurant: lots of black, wooden tables and large windows overlooking their central patio where they grill all their courses on charcoal and gas in the open air. DOJO’s hobby horse is their pure dishes made with ingredients of the highest quality. At DOJO you imagine yourself in a different world all evening long.

Graffiti ‘DOJO’ was recently sprayed on a garage door in the Samberstraat. No one can suspect that an unknown gem is hidden behind this garage door. DOJO is the world of Dennis Ekisola and his wife Valeriya Gertseva. And Kristin van Noordlink got a tasteful tour from Dennis…

“Focus and discovery are central to DOJO. Here I can cook with artisanal quality products for our guests, but at the same time pass on my knowledge about Sake, for example.
