FOURGRAINS (フォーグレイン), the fine dining French restaurant at Hotel Metropolitan Edmont (ホテルメトロポリタン エドモント) in Iidabashi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, will serve a special Christmas menu, "Menu de Noël," on six days only in 2026: December 18 (Fri), 19 (Sat), and 22 (Tue) to 25 (Fri). The hotel has been known since its opening as "Shoku no Edmont" (食のエドモント, the "Edmont of Food"), and Head Chef 池内英治 will present a 10-course dinner at FOURGRAINS to close out the year.
Highlights of "Menu de Noël"
Pâté en Croûte of Duck and Guinea Fowl
Pâté en croûte of duck and guinea fowl (鴨とほろほろ鳥のパテ・アン・クルート)
This classic French pie-baked dish uses guinea fowl and duck from Ishiguro Farm (石黒農場) in Iwate Prefecture. It is cut right in front of guests at a wagon service, so diners can enjoy the fragrant pastry and the rich flavor of the meat as a live presentation.
Lobster and Kinmedai Panaché
The traditional Américaine sauce, full of the rich flavor of lobster, is scented with bai makrut (makrut lime leaf), a well-known Thai herb. Amid the classic richness of the sauce, a refreshing citrus note comes through, giving the fish course a modern, multi-layered taste.
Roasted Hitachi Beef Fillet with Truffle Aligot
The slowly roasted fillet of Hitachi beef (常陸牛) is served with a classic red wine sauce. Alongside it comes aligot, a traditional dish from the Auvergne region of France, made with added truffle.

About FOURGRAINS
FOURGRAINS carries on the spirit of its first head chef, 中村勝宏, who was the first Japanese chef to earn a Michelin star in France, and of 岩崎均, executive chef of Hotel Metropolitan Edmont and also the first head chef of the "TRAIN SUITE 四季島." The restaurant's name reflects the phrase 五穀豊穣 (a bountiful harvest), and the kitchen turns the rich ingredients nurtured by Japan's climate into artful plates using traditional French techniques and sensibility.
The dining room is a private space with just 24 seats, designed around the concept "TSUMUGU." With so few seats, the restaurant can offer attentive, personal service.
