Tour d'Argent Tokyo - "LA TRUFFE NOIRE" Black Truffle Dinner
At Hotel New Otani (Tokyo), the grand maison "Tour d'Argent Tokyo," boasting over 400 years of history, will offer a special dinner course from January 7 (Wednesday) to March 1 (Sunday), 2026, where guests can fully savor black truffles at their seasonal peak.
Period-Limited Dinner Course Featuring the "Black Diamond" Black Truffle
Black truffles reach their best season from December through March. As one of the world's three great delicacies alongside caviar and foie gras, they are known as the "black diamond" for their rarity and rich aroma.
This exclusive culinary experience delivers the noble fragrance and profound flavor unique to this season, with black truffles used luxuriously throughout.
All Six Courses Feature Black Truffles. A Luxurious Experience with Fine Cuisine.
"Black Truffle-Scented Young Duck Royale with Salmis Sauce"
The signature menu item of Tour d'Argent, "Young Duck Royale with Salmis Sauce," features young duck royale dressed in a deeply flavorful salmis sauce, generously adorned with fragrant black truffles. This dish, where tradition and innovation coexist, presents a harmonious blend of the rich depth of the salmis sauce and the elegant aroma of black truffles.
"Golden Black Truffle and Celeriac Soufflé 'Imperial Egg'"
This dish combines black truffle, gently cooked celeriac confit, and smooth sea bream mousse wrapped in gold leaf, prepared as a soufflé. At its center sits a creation inspired by the "Imperial Egg," the luxurious Easter eggs said to have been crafted by goldsmith Peter Carl Fabergé for the Russian Imperial Romanov family, resembling a "golden egg." Guests can enjoy it with two types of sauces: a rich and aromatic black truffle sauce and a white wine sauce with moderate acidity.

A Story Woven Like a Fairy Tale: The History of Tour d'Argent
Approximately 400 years ago, an inn on Île Saint-Louis along the Seine River, the heart of Paris, was named "Tour d'Argent," meaning "Silver Tower," after the Tournelle Castle that could be seen from its location, decorated with silvery shimmering mica. Eventually, it became a temple of gastronomy frequented by King Henry III and many royal aristocrats, establishing its place in French culinary history. "Tour d'Argent Tokyo" is the only branch in the world where this long history and tradition live on, having opened at Hotel New Otani (Tokyo) in 1984.
