Although I couldn’t come to Japan this spring, Mr. Philip, who loves Japanese culture and beautiful nature and came to Japan every year during the cherry blossom season, used Japanese ingredients and was inspired by the beautiful cherry blossoms that bloom in spring. One plate one plate that expresses. We have created a course where you can enjoy not only the taste but also the photogenic spring that you can enjoy with your eyes.

The theme is "SAKURA x Spring Ingredients"

As spring approaches, the vegetable and fruit counters will become even more colorful, and seasonal ingredients will be lined up. “MENU SAKURA” uses seasonal ingredients in spring along with the image of cherry blossoms to create a course that can only be enjoyed now.

The appetizer is a plate using Tasmanian salmon. Once the salmon is smoked with cherry chips, the surface is roasted and a generous amount of caviar is placed on it. In the center, seasonal root celery and green peas are combined with mayonnaise and mascarpone cheese to make a salad. The pink shades of cherry blossoms studded on top use swirl beets and purple radishes to take advantage of the original cherry blossom color of vegetables. The color and texture are accented and make you feel the arrival of spring.

In shrimp dishes, we combine shrimp that has been moisturized at low temperature with French white asparagus that is in season in spring. Whisk egg yolks in a water bath and add bisque sauce with the bayon sauce.
“MENU SAKURA” is a menu that announces the arrival of spring, and is enjoyed every year with the cherry blossoms seen from Tokyo Midtown. It can be used for both lunch and dinner.
