Savor Winter Delights at Isetan Shinjuku with SPANISH DINING Rico

This December, SPANISH DINING Rico, a renowned Spanish restaurant managed by Greenhouse Foods in Nishishinjuku, Tokyo, will bring a taste of authentic Spanish cuisine to Isetan Shinjuku. From December 3 to December 9, located in the Food Collection on the basement floor, this event focuses on comforting winter meals designated as Warm Gatherings for Winter.

Exclusive Seasonal Menu Items

During this week-long event, six exclusive menu items will be available, each showcasing a unique blend of Spanish tradition and high-quality Japanese ingredients. Among the standout offerings is the Premium Paella Plate, featuring the exquisite Enjyu Beef, a special brand of cattle from Kumamoto Prefecture. This premium paella is accompanied by Fricandó, a traditional Catalan dish, thoughtfully prepared by slow-cooking the Enjyu Beef in red wine and sherry for eight hours. Additionally, guests can enjoy classic Spanish tortillas, various tapas, and pescaó, making this limited-time dish a must-try for any culinary enthusiast.

Very Special Christmas Desserts

For those with a sweet tooth, Rico will offer recommended desserts perfect for the Christmas season, including their beloved Basque Cheesecake and the decadent Chocolate Basque Cheesecake, both of which highlight the restaurant's commitment to quality and taste. The restaurant promises a festive and special dining experience during this magical time of year.

A Taste of Spain's Rich Culinary Heritage

The exquisite flavor profile of the Enjyu Beef is noteworthy. This Akagyu (Japanese red cattle) variety is known for its balance of lean meat and a moderate amount of fat, making it not only flavorful but also a healthier choice. The unique farming methods contribute to the special quality of this beef, ensuring that it remains tender and flavorful, allowing diners to truly appreciate the meat's natural taste.
