Fancy a Halloween sans store-bought candy? Rather enjoy a delicate yet full dining experience complete with appetizer and dessert buffets? The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo's Autumn Gourmet Showcase — Pastel Halloween has all of that covered.
Chef Olivier Rodriguez has crafted a menu using the very best seasonal ingredients. Through Oct. 31, diners can choose one of six main courses, which include grilled Japanese beef and rockfish acqua pazza (poached fish). Before the main, diners can partake in the appetizer buffet featuring cheeses and foie gras mousse, and create their own salad from 10 types of fresh vegetables and condiments at the salad bar.
Guests can cap this feast with offerings from the dessert buffet, where the pastel pink theme comes alive. Pastry chef Takashi Suzuki's pastel Halloween collection includes basque cheesecake, pink macarons and black witch-hat inspired desserts.
