MORI LIVING Diary
A Full Service Restaurant at Home
August 03, 2010
Tetsuro Nakashima is the chef in charge of the Green Hills Spa Kitchen, as well as the ARK Hills Spa Kitchen and Caf? Lume.
Topped with mixed herbs and a light dressing, the dish was fresh and flavorful, and I was shocked to see that the menu listed a calorie count of only 305. Healthy food has never looked or tasted so good!
During my visit I sampled one of the summer dishes, grilled Pacific bluefin tuna with seasonal vegetables (?3,150).
I don't know how many times I've wished I could just wander downstairs and have a full meal prepared for me right in the comfort of my own home--or even better, have one delivered directly to my apartment door. For the residents of Atago Green Hills Forest Tower, this scenario is not a fantasy, but a reality of every day life.
Tetsuro Nakashima is the chef in charge of the Green Hills Spa Kitchen, as well as the ARK Hills Spa Kitchen and Caf? Lume. For the residents of Atago Green Hills Forest Tower, he creates and prepares a menu of delicious Japanese and Western dishes that rival those of some of Tokyo's best restaurants.
"People who live here like to bring guests to eat, come here after using the spa, and use it just like a restaurant," says Nakashima. "Room service is also very popular. There are many different types of guests, with very different needs."
Nakashima's background is with French food, so even his Japanese dishes have French influences, he says. The menu changes seasonally, and includes favorites such as sandwiches, pasta, burgers, curry, donburi, and Asian rice dishes. Both lunch sets (?1,260 - ?1,890) and dinner sets (?2,625 - ?4,095) are available, and there is also an extensive wine and champagne list, further adding to the restaurant experience.
