How Borjomi Transforms Kaiso Sarada Into a Modern, Refined Culinary Experience
Kaiso sarada - is a dish built on a delicate balance of flavors and textures. It combines several contrasting elements: wakame and chuka seaweeds with their light iodine freshness, a rich walnut-based goma-dare sauce, the sweetness and tang of fresh strawberries, and the subtle crunch of toasted sesame seeds.
In such a minimalist composition, achieving textural harmony is particularly important. The sauce should not be too thick or heavy—it should enhance the ingredients, not to overwhelm them.
To achieve the desired consistency, I use a practiced technique: adding chilled mineral water Borjomi to the walnut sauce. This is not merely a substitution for water; thanks to its alkaline environment and natural carbonation, Borjomi makes the goma-dare texture smoother and silkier. The sauce spreads more evenly, gently coats the seaweed, and does not weigh down the dish.

An additional effect comes from the mineral content of the water—it highlights the flavor of the sesame, enhances the aroma of the strawberries, and makes the overall perception of the salad fresher and cleaner.
In cold dishes, such nuances are especially important because they cannot be masked by heat or cooking—they must be precise and refined.
Kaiso sarada with Borjomi is not just a salad; it is an example of how a technological approach can reveal simple ingredients in a new way while preserving lightness, modernity, and gastronomic refinement.
