Discover the Flavors of Yamagata: A Culinary Fair at Hotel Metropolitan Marunouchi

Experience Yamagata’s Culinary Delights at TENQOO

Hospitality takes on a whole new meaning at the Dining & Bar TENQOO located on the 27th floor of Hotel Metropolitan Marunouchi, situated high above the bustling Tokyo Station. From September 15 to November 11, 2026, this venue invites you to indulge in the 'Yamagata Fair,' featuring a menu that showcases the vibrant and seasonal flavors of Yamagata Prefecture.

Renowned chef Fumihito Kaneda, alongside the restaurant's sommelier, has traveled directly to Yamagata to select the finest ingredients, embodying the essence of the region's rich landscapes and the heartfelt dedication of local producers. The fair promises a luxurious dining experience, with a special French dinner course that highlights the best of what Yamagata has to offer, paired with exquisite local wines and delightful lunch parfaits available only during weekdays.

Featured Menu Highlights

The centerpiece of this fair is the 'Yamagata Special Dinner Course,' a nine-course French meal inspired by both the mountains and coastal bounty of Yamagata.

Appetizers

Kicking off the meal is a cold appetizer featuring local red shrimp and Funagata mushrooms, transformed into a mousse. The deep, rich flavors of the shrimp meld beautifully with the earthy essence of the mushrooms and sunchokes, creating a delightfully textured dish that celebrates both land and sea.

The Fish Course

Next, the fish course features a Pan-Seared local catch from Miura Peninsula served over a bed of rich ‘Hidensei’ edamame risotto, perfumed with burnt butter, enticing diners with its savory aroma.

Main Dish

One of the high points of the evening is the Yamagata beef sirloin steak, known for its marbled texture, accompanied by seasonal locally sourced vegetables. A gourmet condiment based on the traditional 'akegarashi' from Yamamichi Soy Sauce adds a unique kick, enhancing the umami flavors of the perfectly seared beef. Seasonal vegetables, including kale and buckwheat, round off this decadent dish.

Desserts

The culinary journey concludes with a dessert that perfectly encapsulates Yamagata’s bounty—an apple tart made from locally grown apples, served with a lime and black log tea sorbet, reminiscent of the aroma of Yamagata’s forests.

Special Lunch Offer

The fair also offers a weekday lunch set featuring a refreshing 'Shine Muscat Parfait' alongside a selection of appetizers and pasta for just ¥5,600. Diners can enjoy the delightful combination of juicy Shine Muscat grapes and jasmine flakes, complemented by green apple and ginger confit, all in a stunning parfait presentation.
