at Hayato
"Chawanmushi at Hayato is a savory steamed egg custard — silky, delicate, served in a small cup with seasonal garnishes. The dashi is made from scratch, the egg-to-liquid ratio is calibrated to produce a custard that is set but not firm. This is a dish that requires precision and patience."

"The custard is a test of the kitchen's understanding of heat control. Too hot and it becomes tough; too cold and it does not set. Hayato's chawanmushi is served at the correct temperature — the surface is just set, the interior is still trembling. The garnish changes with the season."
