Discover the Culinary Delights

Each restaurant will present special seasonal menus inspired by the stories and traditions of Tanabata, the Japanese festival that celebrates the meeting of the deities Orihime and Hikoboshi.

Genjiko: Traditional Japanese Cuisine

Located on the 5th floor, Genjiko offers a luxurious kaiseki dining experience inspired by the enchanting visuals of the Tanabata festival. Diners will enjoy a meticulously curated menu that features dishes like grilled eel paired with refreshing noodles, symbolizing the Milky Way, alongside fresh seasonal ingredients that evoke the spirit of summer. The highlight includes a seafood soup with fluffy shrimp and muscat grapes—truly a dish worthy of celebration.

Sumida: Teppanyaki Delights

On the 20th floor, enjoy a sophisticated lunch at Sumida, featuring a Tanabata course that starts with a chef-recommended appetizer and a refreshing chilled soup. The main highlight is the premium domestic beef—both fillet and sirloin—cooked to perfection on an iron grill, paired artistically with a white wine herb sauce to represent the Milky Way. End your meal with an exquisite dessert that features star-shaped chocolate to evoke the festive spirit.

Keikaen: Chinese Culinary Traditions
