Hilton Tokyo's Smokehouse Brunch Pop-Up

Starting April 25th, the Metropolitan Grill at Hilton Tokyo welcomes food lovers every weekend for its exclusive Smokehouse Brunch Pop-Up. Located on the second floor, this event promises patrons a delectable barbecue experience, utilizing cherry wood and Weber smokers for authentic flavors.

Under the expert guidance of General Manager Felix Bush, guests will be enveloped in a smoky aromatic atmosphere, perfect for enjoying dishes that showcase both the impressive grilling techniques and the culinary artistry of the chefs at the Metropolitan Grill. For only ¥8,400 per person, guests can indulge in an extraordinary brunch, with an option to enhance their experience with a free-flow champagne plan starting at an additional ¥6,500.

What to Expect

The brunch menu features a variety of appetizers, including:

• - Fresh Oysters with lemon wedge and mignonette sauce.
• - Amberjack Ceviche with Smoked Leche de Tigre, served with avocado, jalapeño, and coriander.
• - Grilled Osmotic Tomatoes, paired with rich Hokkaido burrata cheese.

The Osmotic Tomatoes are particularly noteworthy for their high sugar content, giving them a beautifully concentrated sweetness when grilled, particularly when complemented by the creaminess of burrata cheese.

Signature Egg Dishes

No brunch is complete without eggs, and the Metropolitan Grill presents its unique twist on Eggs Benedict with BBQ Burnt Ends and Rosti Potatoes. This unique dish features perfectly smoked, crispy burnt ends, coupled with a delicate poached egg, all drizzled with a rich Béarnaise sauce and served over perfectly prepared rosti potatoes – a must-try for any brunch aficionado.

Main Dishes

Patrons can select from five enticing main dishes, including the chef's highlight:

• - Smoked Brisket Burger: This burger features wagyu brisket, smoked for over 10 hours at low temperatures. The result is a succulent, juicy delight, served in a potato brioche bun with a tantalizing spicy sriracha aioli.

Upgrading your meal is possible, with options like the Low & Slow Smoked House Platter, which features a trio of meats including smoked brisket, smoked pork, and a juicy burger served with French fries for an extra ¥1,600. For those wanting to indulge further, an assortment of premium menus, like the A5 Wagyu Loin Steak, is available starting at ¥2,200.

To elevate your brunch experience, consider the free-flow champagne plan, which not only includes champagne but also a selection of fine red and white wines, beers, and soft drinks for a nominal added price.
