The State Dinner highlighted Jill Biden's favorite flowers like peonies and cherry blossoms, featuring glass and silk butterflies. The setting included vinyl-coated 'koi pond' floors with gold-tinged fish among blossoms.
The menu combined Japanese-American fusion, starting with a dish evoking a California roll, progressing to aged rib-eye, shishito-pepper butter, and sesame-oil sabayon. Dessert featured salted-caramel/pistachio cakes with matcha ganache.
