"I'm the one who insists on unfiltered juice, natural wine, raw honey — the real thing, not the polished version."
64 taste types. No food knowledge needed.
Bright fruit with real structure underneath — you found it. Freshness plus grip, nothing else needed. You’ve identified your exact combination and you’ve stopped looking elsewhere.
PULP has strong opinions about what's been taken out. They refuse strained juice, filtered honey, fined wine, trimmed anything. At the bar they order things "unfiltered." At the table they're the one asking whether the sauce has been strained and frowning slightly if yes. This isn't hostility — it's a philosophy. PULP believes the real thing has texture, cloudiness, imperfection, and that removing those things is removing the *point*. They're not rigid; they're principled. Their kitchen has jars of things in rougher states than most people's. They'd rather eat a slightly imperfect peach than a glossy one. PULP is the Purist because their love of the real thing is loud enough to shape the menu wherever they're eating.
Five people. Everything sourced from producers they know. Agua fresca, pulp in. Ceviche bright with herbs. Unfiltered orange wine. Simple grilled fish with salsa verde. Ends with fresh fruit, nothing done to it, and a long argument about whether the wine was any good. PULP won.
sister bees, angular-fine kin, both principled about what's real on the plate.
both anchored-casual, both keeping something real within reach.
both committed to tradition without fuss — the inherited way, kept honest.
MISO — The Soul
PULP wants unfiltered brightness; MISO wants fermented depth. Raw fruit vs. year-old paste.
