But the main event was Mon Cher Ton Ton Roppongi! I have been to the Shinjuku branch before and could not resist going back this trip. However I was feeling more confident and took my camera this time! Also as we had a bigger group we were given a private room ^^ A quick FYI this meal is cooked infront of you by a chef assigned to you for the meal.
The Mon Cher Ton Ton set menu was selected for all parties ^^ I had a hot lemon drink to start as it was very cold when we came in, and the chef started cooking the garlic on the hot plate.
A selection of chilled vegetables were served, all perfect in ripeness and colour.
Next dish was the beef sashimi with a sweet onion on top, the beef was excellent and the onion complimented the flavor! The girls in the group where given a sweet pumpkin cold soup to go with the dish that was extremely yummy!
The next dish was Foie gras, not something I would normally choose to eat but as it was part of the set menu I decided to enjoy it. This reminded me of an extremely fatty chicken liver but again was very tasty! I am not sure what the sauce was but it suited the foie gras excellently.
The next dish was abalone, to which everyone had one to themselves! It's hard to explain the taste but with the anchovy butter melted on top the abalone melted in my mouth!
The salad was excellent and the dressing particularly good, as I make Japanese style dressing at home I paid close attention and found that it far out paced my attempts :P The flavors were much more subtle ...
I forgot to take a photo of the main until I had taken a few bites, but I think that just tells you how good it was! The steak had three different choices of sauce, onion, salt and I forgot, I enjoyed the salt the most, the onion the next and the other one the least :P But the steak was perfect by itself!
Served at the same time as the steak was spring cabbage that was some of the best cabbage I have had in my life! It was juicy and tender and all thins I never knew cabbage to be!
To follow was miso soup, rice and pickles. A perfect ending to the meal ^^
However there was still more to come! A Crème brûlée served with tea in the lounge.
