Pronto Wakayama Menu‏

Proto, the coffee shop chain, has a seasonal menu featuring food or ingredients from Wakayama. Among other things, Wakayama is well known in Japan for the relatively large number of pandas held there including several panda births in recent years. Wakayama is probably most famous for the plums grown there (紀州梅 Kishu plum), but they also have a traditional deep sea fishing industry and are thus also known for tuna and sardines. The Wakayama menu includes Kishu plum highball, sakura bincho tuna carpaccio, penne with smoked marlin, plum chicken and cucumber salad with plum dressing, young sardine in garlic sauce and butter, and sakura bincho tuna and avocado tartar.
