Special Counter French Dining in Hibiya🍸

"Restaurant TOYO" was established in Paris in 2009.
Here, you can experience the fusion of Western and Eastern cuisines,
inspired by the philosophy of Toyomitsu Nakayama, the former private chef to
world-renowned designer Kenzo Takada.

Leading the Tokyo branch is chef Kazutaka Maruyama,
who moved to France at the age of 22 and also gained experience at TOYO Paris.

The lively atmosphere where dishes are prepared right in front of you
is captivating, and you can enjoy the time it takes to complete each dish✨

In the course meal we enjoyed, there was young corn from Hokkaido
plentifully paired with mimolette cheese from France.
The sweetness of the corn silk matches well with the saltiness of the cheese,
and next to it was even corn ice cream🌽

The chilled starter of golden-eye snapper was lightly broiled for a toasty aroma.
The combination with celery and hazelnuts was delightful,
showcasing the quality of the ingredients.

The foie gras cutlet sandwich was
a luxurious dish with rich depth of flavor.

Lobster and scallops were wrapped in yuba,
and served in a bouillabaisse richly flavored with seafood.
The presentation adorned with flowers was beautiful🌸

The main course was tender and moist venison,
which paired perfectly with the red wine sauce.
Roasted turnips and turnip puree were also lovingly prepared.

The dessert was a plate of peach compote and peach ice cream,
combined with red shiso sauce and tapioca🍑
Even the final sweet treats were delicate,
allowing you to slowly savor the lingering taste of the course.

The pairings matched well with the dishes,
with even the soft drinks featuring domestic options making an impression.

During the day, the open scenery overlooks Hibiya Park,
while at night, you can relax in the calm atmosphere.

Not only the food, but you can also enjoy the time
as each dish is completed before your eyes,
a restaurant you'd want to revisit on a special day✨
