A Culinary Journey to Provence: Summer Delights at Tori-Durjan Tokyo

Tori-Durjan Tokyo, located within the prestigious Hotel New Otani in Tokyo, takes diners on a gastronomic adventure with its new summer menu called 'Ma Provence.' This menu, curated by renowned executive chef Reno Augier, a recipient of the esteemed M.O.F. (Meilleur Ouvrier de France), invites you to experience the essence of Southern France from June 25 to August 17, 2025.

The experience begins as guests are transported to the stunning Côte d'Azur, an iconic region known for its dazzling Mediterranean beaches, elegant coastal towns, and a glorious culinary heritage. Each dish is thoughtfully designed to evoke the flavors and aromas of Provence, promising a unique dining experience that reminds one of sun-soaked summers.

An Exquisite Start to the Meal

The culinary journey commences with the starter, Crabe Kégani (￥15,000 menu). This dish features delicate crab cannelloni imbued with refreshing lemon aroma, accompanied by a vibrant celery vinaigrette. The subtle sweetness of the crab, combined with the tangy citrus notes and the slight bitterness of celery, crafts a harmonious taste that evokes the delightful warm winds of Southern France.

A Fresh Seafood Delight

Next on the menu is Carangue (￥25,000 menu), which showcases Mediterranean ingredients paired with delicate striped jack fish, served with a spiced epice sauce. Each bite reveals a balance of refreshing herbs and citrus hints, harmonizing beautifully with the complex flavors of the spice-infused sauce. This dish channels the very essence of early summer, presenting a refreshing yet sophisticated appetizer.

Main Dish: A Roasted Delight

For the main course, diners are treated to Caneton (￥25,000 menu), a succulent roasted duckling highlighted by a rich haskap berry sauce. This dish elevates a classic Mediterranean recipe, ‘barbajuan’, featuring a delicate arrangement of fragrant girolle mushrooms and sweet zucchini, adding depth to both flavor and presentation. Each plate not only pleases the palate but also delights the eyes.

A Place of Heritage and Elegance

Tori-Durjan Tokyo isn’t just known for its culinary offerings; it also boasts an impressive history of nearly 400 years. Situated in a former samurai estate, the restaurant's elegant dining area overlooks a beautifully landscaped Japanese garden. The serene atmosphere and seasonal scenic beauty create a perfect backdrop for enjoying a meal, making it an ideal setting for family gatherings and special occasions.
