Exterior of Grand Hyatt Tokyo
Grand Hyatt Tokyo has been built as a part of Roppongi hills, opened in April 2003. The urban renewal project in Roppongi. It took 17 years to complete the whole process.
This mega-complex incorporates office space, apartments, shops, restaurants, cafes, movie theatres, TV Asahi studio, parks and a hotel (= "Grand Hyatt" )

In April this year, I had a chance to have lunch in Grand Hyatt.
It was a tough call to make... They have just too many nice restaurants to choose from! Teppanyaki, Sushi, Italian, French, Steakhouse,... at the end I decided to try their Japanese restaurant "Shubo".

I decided to go for the lunch kaiseki set, JPY6700 (USD65). The set includes, Appetizer, Soup, Sashimi, Grilled, Seasonal dish, Steamed, Japanese rice and Dessert.
After I order, they brought me a menu printed on a piece of Japanese "Washi" paper that can be taken back home as a souvenir.

Soup with green pea pottage, minced prawn, rice cracker (right)

Grilled -Bamboo shoot, duck breast, "Sansho" Japanese pepper leaf- (right)
Steamed -Tile fish, spring vegetable with black vinegar sauce- (left)
Seasonal -Udo from Harima, firefly squid with butterbur miso- (right)
Japanese rice -Sakura shrimp tempura rice bowl, miso soup, pickled vegetable- (left)
Dessert -Rice cake stuffed with red bean paste, strawberry- (right)
They were quite busy. Most of the guests were wearing tie and business suit, probably from the offices within Roppongi hills complex.
Food was indubitably very good. Authentic Japanese food with fresh seasonal ingredients made by experienced chefs. It can't go wrong.
I am looking forward to trying other restaurants when I am back in Tokyo next time.
