Nha Trang Tuna Carpaccio — Yuzu, Kumquat & Bà Rịa Sea Salt
At Maison Vie, the Nha Trang tuna carpaccio is a delicate interplay of pristine sea flavour and vivid citrus — the perfect opening to a contemporary French dining journey in the heart of Hanoi.
Selected ingredients
Petals of Nha Trang ocean tuna are sliced paper-thin to preserve their natural sweetness, then lightly cured with Japanese yuzu, Vietnamese kumquat and Bà Rịa sea salt — a trio that lends a bright citrus lift and a refined mineral salinity.
The art of preparation
Chef Joel treats freshness as sacred: the fish is handled at precise temperature and seasoned just enough for the sea and citrus notes to shine, finished with a few drops of olive oil and crystals of Bà Rịa salt scattered table-side.
Wine pairing
The zesty acidity of yuzu and kumquat, set against the gentle richness of tuna, calls for a bright, mineral white. Our sommelier recommends a Sancerre (Sauvignon Blanc, Loire Valley) with its citrus and flinty minerality. For a touch of celebration, a Champagne Blanc de Blancs is an equally exquisite match.
