The 30th Restaurant at Futakotamagawa Excel Hotel Tokyu (Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; inside Futakotamagawa Rise; General Manager: Tatsuo Kawachi) is offering a French course titled "Herbs Breath" during both lunch and dinner service from July 1 (Wednesday) to September 30 (Wednesday), 2026.
Head Chef Hasegawa designed the course to bring a sense of freshness and cool relief during the summer heat. A variety of herbs — including mint, basil, artichoke, and verbena — are woven throughout seasonal ingredients, layering sweet, refreshing, vibrant, and cooling aromas into each dish. The course is intended to offer guests a relaxing, restorative experience at the hotel.
Cold Appetizer: Marinated Lobster and Flat Scallop with Lemon-Basil Mousse
A delicate corn bavarian cream made with summer-peak sweetcorn forms the base of this glass dish, topped with marinated lobster, abalone, and flat scallop. Mint and edible flowers bring fresh color and fragrance, while a finishing lemon-basil mousse adds a bright, cooling note.
Dinner Meat Course: Slow-Cooked Lamb with Peach-Guanciale Feuilletage and Fennel Purée
The dinner menu's main course features lamb cooked low and slow to a moist, tender texture. A sauce featuring peak-season peach provides rich fruitiness, while a fennel purée captures the herb's gentle sweetness and enhances the lamb's appeal. Lemongrass-infused oil is drizzled over the finished dish for an aromatic finish.
Dessert: Verbena Blanc Manger with Melon Soup and Vanilla Ice Cream
The dessert course closes with a verbena blanc manger paired with a rich melon soup. A Pernod espuma made from a blend of herbs brings added depth to the combination.
All dishes are served with views of Mt. Fuji and the Tamagawa River — and the broader Kanto Plain — from 130 meters above ground at The 30th Restaurant.
