Spherification
A modern technique that turns liquids into delicate spheres with a thin gel membrane.
Context
Spherification matters because it gives guests a clearer way to read a menu: not only what is being served, but what kind of technique, texture, memory, or hospitality decision is behind it.
Example
It is used in tasting menus for juices, sauces, cocktails, and playful garnishes.
How THT uses it
THT may use spherification only when it supports story and pleasure, not as decoration alone.
