Celebrate Christmas with a Culinary Concert at Hotel & Residence Roppongi

This festive season, the Hotel & Residence Roppongi is hosting a special Christmas dinner titled Xmas Concerto, running for just four days: December 20, 21, 24, and 25. Managed by Shimada Group, this unique event promises a delightful culinary experience that captures the essence of Christmas through artfully crafted dishes.

The Xmas Concerto dinner course includes six meticulously prepared dishes, each celebrating seasonal ingredients like sea urchin and crab, presented in a manner inspired by the concept of a concerto—where each plate shines like a solo performance. The evening begins with a vibrant appetizer, inspired by the traditional Yule log cake, featuring caviar tarts, crab vol-au-vent, and a rich scallop potage.

Highlights of the Dinner Course

The main highlight, a cold dish named Tree, features a visually stunning cold sea urchin tagliolini, garnished with ikura to resemble a Christmas tree. Made with homemade, chewy noodles, it is paired with a delightful almond and uni tomato sauce for a perfect blend of flavors. The main courses include luxurious options like domestic Wagyu beef fillet, presented cheerfully with rice croquettes and braised beef cheek, all beautifully decorated with a foam sauce made from porcini and morels.

To conclude the meal, indulge in the dessert titled I am Santa Claus, which represents a winter wonderland from Santa Claus's viewpoint, featuring a strawberry soufflé roll cake alongside pistachio ice cream and macaroons, finalized with a sweet potato tuile.
