IL LUPINO PRIME Unveils Spring Menu with Seasonal Delights

Spring Menu Highlights at IL LUPINO PRIME

As the days get warmer and the flowers bloom, IL LUPINO PRIME is excited to announce the launch of its new spring menu starting on March 16. This Italian gem in the heart of Tokyo is not just a restaurant; it's a culinary experience where seasonal ingredients meet gourmet dining.

Seasonal Delicacies to Savor

Guests can look forward to a delightful selection of dishes showcasing the best of spring. The standout is the Sakura Shrimp and Nanohana Pasta, a light and flavorful dish that perfectly embodies the essence of the season. Tender sakura shrimp is paired with the slightly bitter taste of nanohana (rape blossoms), all enveloped in a light olive oil sauce. Priced at ¥2,860, this dish is available during lunch as part of the PRANZO A/B selection, as well as à la carte.

Another must-try is the Steamed White Asparagus with Sunny-Side Up Egg for ¥4,500. This elegantly simple dish highlights the freshness of white asparagus, lightly seasoned with salt and premium olive oil, and topped with a luscious sunny-side-up egg. The subtle sweetness of the asparagus pairs beautifully with an elegant Pinot Nero called Campo Alle More, which enhances the dish's flavors.

For those looking for a light snack, the Fritto Misto is a go-to. This dish combines seafood and seasonal vegetables, lightly battered and fried to crisp perfection, allowing the natural flavors to shine through for ¥2,640. Perfect for sharing over a glass of wine!

Sweet Finishes to Celebrate Spring

No meal is complete without dessert, and IL LUPINO PRIME has exquisite options that reflect the beauty of spring. The Two Kinds of Cannoli with Sakura Ice Cream (¥1,430) offers a delightful combination of chocolate and orange cannoli, served with a refreshing sakura-flavored ice cream. Each bite is a celebration of spring.

Another highlight is the Sakura Cassata (¥1,430), a delightful gelato cake infused with cherry flavor, layered with raspberries, cookies, pistachios, chocolate, and cranberries. This dessert is a feast for the senses, both visually and taste-wise, and is perfect for sharing.

Refreshing Spring Cocktails

Raise a glass to the season with IL LUPINO PRIME's unique cocktail selections. The Sakura Breeze (¥2,400), with sakura liqueur and herbal vodka, perfectly balances sweet and tart flavors, making it a perfect prelude to any meal. The Sakura Spritz (¥2,400) offers a light and bubbly experience, combining sakura liqueur, white wine, and soda for a refreshing sip.

For a non-alcoholic option, the Non-Alcoholic Sakura Milk Tea (¥2,000) provides a gentle sweetness with a mild salty finish, ideal for those wanting a springtime drink without the alcohol.

A Pet-Friendly Terrace Experience

With the arrival of spring, IL LUPINO PRIME’s terrace offers a perfect setting to enjoy these seasonal delights alongside your furry friends. Guests can dine with their pets (two small dogs per group) in the relaxing atmosphere of the terrace, surrounded by greenery. This unique experience not only allows for a delightful meal but also creates special memories with your companions.
