Le Pristine Tokyo, the casual fine dining restaurant and café overseen by Michelin-starred chef Sergio Herman at Hotel Toranomon Hills (Toranomon Hills Station Tower, 2-6-4 Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo), will serve festive season limited menus starting in December. Built around the joy of sharing a meal with family and loved ones, the lineup includes a Christmas dinner offered on two days only, an afternoon tea featuring seasonal mikan (Japanese mandarin) and chestnuts, a sharing dinner with king crab and black truffle, a limited cocktail that pairs mikan with Champagne, and more.
Le Pristine Christmas Dinner
On December 24 and 25 only, Le Pristine Restaurant Tokyo serves the "Le Pristine Christmas Dinner," which brings together chef Sergio Herman's roots as a cook and the winter produce of Japan. The course starts from Sergio's warm Christmas memories of gathering around the table with family and sharing food, and combines European food culture with seasonal Japanese ingredients.
The "Le Pristine Plateau," the restaurant's signature starter, features four tastes of Japan's winter seas: snow crab with celeriac, green apple, and Belgian Oscietra caviar; Hokkaido sea urchin with chilled chawanmushi (savory egg custard) and lobster consommé; winter yellowtail crudo with persimmon and yuzu; and botan shrimp with tomato, almond, and shiso. Each seasonal seafood is presented with a different aroma and texture.
The "Kinmedai Ravioli, Mussels, Saffron Nage, Basil" is a dish built on the saffron nage that Sergio learned from his father, who was also a chef, and has handed down through generations. He passed it on to Head Chef Ishikawa (石川 晃), who reinterpreted it as a new dish using kinmedai (splendid alfonsino), a seasonal Japanese fish, together with mussels, which are rooted in Sergio's background.
The main course is Japanese red wagyu beef coated in a pistachio crumble, served with the aroma of black truffle. For dessert, a selection of sweets associated with Italian Christmas, such as a mikan and chestnut maritozzo, a crostata with Sicilian pistachio and Amarena cherry, and a classic tiramisu, is served tableside.
