A Culinary Journey of Autumn Flavors at The 30th Restaurant
Introduction
Nestled within the heights of Setagaya, Tokyo, The 30th Restaurant at the Tokyu Excel Hotel Futako-Tamagawa offers a remarkable dining experience. From September 1 to November 30, 2025, guests are invited to indulge in the "Olive×France" course, celebrating the luscious olives that flourish during the autumn season. This specially curated course blends five distinctive tastes to create an unforgettable culinary adventure.
The Essence of Olives
Chef Hasegawa, the mastermind behind this culinary concept, places a strong emphasis on the vibrant green aroma and the gentle bitterness of olives. Each dish in the five-course meal is designed to harmonize the flavors of sweetness, saltiness, sourness, bitterness, and umami, showcasing the playful creativity of the chef. Guests will savor olives in various forms – leaves, fruits, and oils – all expertly incorporated into each plate.
The Exquisite Course Overview
Appetizer
"Tartare of Hiragai and Sweet Shrimp with Arugula Tabbouleh and Yuzu Vinaigrette"
The meal begins with a stunning dish featuring "Olive Focaccia" as the star ingredient. This tartare combines the rich sweetness of Hiragai scallops and sweet shrimp with natural seasoning, all heightened by a zesty yuzu vinaigrette. The accompanying couscous, enriched with green olives, adds a delightful twist, allowing diners to enjoy it alongside the focaccia.
Fish Dish
"Vapored Gold Eye Snapper from Shimoda with Olive Sauce and Fruit Pickles"
The fish course presents the delicate Gold Eye Snapper, steamed to perfection. With the addition of fruit pickles like muscat grapes, persimmons, pears, and pomegranates, the dish bursts with color and acidity, elevating the fish's natural sweetness. A slightly bitter eggplant purée paired with a sauce made from olives and pork jus offers a varied flavor experience with each bite.
Meat Dish
"Roulade of Lamb with Foie Gras and Green Olive Aroma, Stuffed Champignon"
The main course features a sumptuous lamb roulade, enveloped in green olives and basil paste. Cooked slowly to achieve a tender, melt-in-the-mouth texture, this dish embodies the richness of autumn. Paired with seasonal bounties, it’s a celebration of fall flavors on a plate.
Dessert
"Olive Oil Ice Cream with Chestnut Mont Blanc"
The culinary journey concludes with a delightful dessert where olive oil ice cream takes center stage, complemented by an indulgent layer of chocolate mousse and luxurious chestnuts. Accented with pomegranates, the dessert radiates autumnal hues of brown and red, enhancing its visual appeal. A thin, leaf-shaped tuile finishes the dish, encapsulating the season's essence in a delightful presentation.
