New Autumn Menu at mikuni MARUNOUCHI

Chef Kiyoshi Mikuni's renowned restaurant, mikuni MARUNOUCHI, located in the heart of Tokyo, is set to launch its highly anticipated autumn menu on September 1, 2025. The restaurant, managed by M&H Co., Ltd., is famous for its natural French cuisine, focusing on seasonal ingredients and innovative flavor profiles. This new menu aims to provide diners with an immersive experience that engages all five senses through the theme of Five Tastes and Five Senses.

Five Tastes, Five Senses: A New Culinary Journey

The autumn menu revolves around utilizing an array of natural ingredients, including traditional Edo-Tokyo vegetables, to craft unique dishes that reflect the essence of Japanese culinary culture. Each dish is designed not just to satisfy the palate but to evoke a broader sensory experience through the interplay of sweetness, saltiness, sourness, bitterness, and umami. This thoughtfully curated selection invites guests to savor the depth of flavors while engaging with the aesthetics and aromas presented.

An Exquisite Course Structure

The menu offers several distinct courses, each crafted around the theme of 'Five Tastes', allowing diners to choose their desired experience.

• - Porte - The Door to the Five Tastes (4-5 courses):

- Amuse-bouche, appetizer, main dish (fish or meat), dessert, coffee, and petit fours

• - Clé - The Key to the Five Tastes (6 courses):

- Amuse-bouche, appetizer, soup, fish dish, meat dish, dessert, coffee, and petit fours

• - Voyage - A Journey Through Five Tastes (Chef’s recommendation, 7 courses):

Each plate within these courses showcases a range of flavors, inviting guests to explore their unique interpretations of the culinary experience. For example, the Amuse features the umami of Hokkaido crab complemented by delicate sea urchin and caviar, providing a striking start to the meal.

Dishes to Look Forward To

The Porte course includes a stunning variety of flavors: from the sweetness of pumpkin, alongside a creamy Tokyo beef croquette, to the depth of flavor found in freshly smoked bonito. The Voyage option is paired with fresh seasonal fruits and herbs that reflect the culinary philosophies deeply rooted in Japanese food culture.
