La Tour d'Argent at The Hotel New Otani Tokyo has created a selection of food specialties inspired by the regional cuisine of France's Loire Valley. Two dinner courses, priced at ¥18,000 and ¥25,000 (excluding drinks, tax and service charge), are available until April 25 (closed Mondays).
The Loire Valley, or the "garden of France" as many call it, is home to many rare and delicious vegetables, thanks to its mild climate. The delicious one-of-a-kind white asparagus, harvested in the very first days of spring, is one of the most famous vegetables of the region.
Executive chef Renaud Augier and patissier Loic Pivot created the new menu, combining the best that the Loire Valley has to offer with innovative cooking techniques.
