"From Kasper's, Seattle Washington. Light and flavorful, this elegant salad from chef Kaspar Donier is perfect for a spring dinner. If possible, use Momokawa sake, an outstanding product imported from Japan by way of Oregon, in the recipe. A glass of their premium Gold Label Sake, served chilled, makes a delicious accompaniment. From The Best Northwest Places Cookbook (Volume 1)."
