Southern Tower Dining (サザンタワーダイニング) on the 20th floor of Odakyu Hotel Century Southern Tower (小田急ホテルセンチュリーサザンタワー) near Shinjuku Station in Tokyo is bringing back its annual Christmas lunch and dinner this December. The lunch runs from December 1 (Tue) to December 25 (Fri), 2026, and the dinner is offered for eight days only, from December 18 (Fri) to December 25 (Fri).
Christmas Lunch
The Christmas lunch is easy to enjoy with friends. It starts with three appetizers to enjoy with wine, followed by a soup and a fish dish that change with the day's seasonal ingredients. The main dish is a grilled domestic beef fillet topped with melting raclette cheese and the rich aroma of truffle. The meal ends with three cute Christmas desserts.
Christmas Dinner "Joyeux Noël"
The Christmas dinner "Joyeux Noël" (ジョワイユ・ノエル) is a six-course meal designed to make guests look forward to the next plate from the moment they raise a glass of champagne.
It begins with a plate of burrata cheese served with caviar.
The cold appetizer, "Pressé of Domestic Black Abalone and Seafood, Colors of the Holy Night," is a colorful pressé made with seafood such as domestic black abalone, scallops and salmon.
In the warm appetizer, "Foie Gras Mousse and Pear Gougère with Winter Truffle," rich foie gras made into a mousse is filled into a choux pastry and combined with pear and winter truffle for a deep flavor. The fish dish, "Canadian Lobster and Red Sea Bream, Gift-Wrapped Style," is appealing for the rich seafood aroma that spreads the moment the wrapping is opened.
For the main dish, guests choose one of two meat dishes. One is the Akigawa beef (秋川牛) fillet from Takeuchi Farm (竹内牧場) in Akiruno, Tokyo, cooked at a low temperature until moist and served with a refreshing wasabi sauce. The other is a seasonal game dish made with minced, ethically sourced venison from the foot of Mt. Fuji, combined with porcini mushrooms and Kogyoku apples (紅玉) and baked in a pie crust. A red wine sauce with a gentle sweetness brings out the flavor of each ingredient.
The dessert is a rich chocolate mousse inspired by a Christmas wreath, combining the refreshing aroma of yuzu with the bright sweet-tart taste of strawberries.
Guests can enjoy the dishes together with the view of Tokyo from 100m above ground.
