There's no dessert menu at Sens — and really, who needs dessert when you're knocking back fruity nigorizake or lychee-flavored shochu? Still, one night's special was just the right conclusion to dinner: half a papaya, filled with tapioca pudding and coconut milk. Juicy, ripe fruit mingled with sweet, tropical creaminess — simple but stunning.
Like so many other things at Sens, it was even better than the sum of its parts.
