It's one of those universal truths we hold self-evident. Fine food plus city lights from way up above, multiplied by one significant other, equals romance. And the great thing is, that equation always adds up, no matter what city, climate or time zone you're in -- even in Roppongi Hills.
Yes, back we were drawn, like moths to a high-intensity flame. How could we say no to an invitation to peek inside, to linger and then to dine in unabashed luxury at the top of the massive Mori Tower that forms the looming high-rise heart of the complex.
This is rarefied territory -- and not just because of the altitude. The entire 51st floor of the tower is occupied by the members-only Roppongi Hills Club, without a doubt the most exclusive new address in Tokyo. It boasts no fewer than eight top-flight restaurants. But unless you are one of the lucky few who can afford the considerable fees (a million down flat and counting), then the only way to get to see this floor is as a guest. Start angling for that invitation now.
