Mori – of Tokyo’s Mandarin Oriental and Restaurant Joël Robuchon – offers a nine-course tasting menu with seasonal dishes like black abalone with home-made tagliolini and kimo sauce and Hokkaido scallops with chestnut jus poulet.

For dessert, try the tonka-flavoured crème brûlée with home-made ice cream. The sommelier can recommend the perfect wine pairing. A vegetarian/vegan menu is available on request, as is lunchtime dining.
