Located directly above Mitsukoshimae Station on the 37th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo, this Cantonese restaurant has received a Bronze award from Tabelog.The charm lies in enjoying authentic Cantonese cuisine that fuses traditional Hong Kong flavors with carefully selected ingredients from various regions of Japan, all while taking in the stunning city views from approximately 180 meters above ground.The restaurant features a calm and luxurious atmosphere.This time, I ordered the weekday lunch course.First to arrive were the Platinum Pork Cantonese Shumai and the leaf-shaped dumplings filled with squid and Chinese celery in XO sauce, showcasing the skill of the dim sum chef with their innovative presentation.The shumai was juicy and flavorful, while the leaf dumplings offered a delightful texture from the squid and a deep flavor from the XO sauce.Next was a steamed soup, rich in umami from a variety of mushrooms including yellow mushrooms, elm mushrooms, kinugasa mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms, white wood ear mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms sourced directly from Sakura City.The fish dish featured steamed Okinawan white-banded grouper with scallions and ginger. The tender flesh was delicate, and the aroma of scallions and ginger enhanced the sweetness of the white fish.The main dish was sweet and sour pork made with three types of vinegar: Zhenjiang vinegar from Jiangsu Province, aged Shanxi vinegar, and Okinawan moromi vinegar. The combination created a layered acidity and a mellow richness, resulting in a refined taste.To finish, the shrimp wonton noodles featured a smooth wrapper encasing the plump shrimp wontons, and the clear broth was so comforting that I wanted to savor every last drop.For dessert, I chose the "Now and Then" almond jelly from four options. This luxurious dish allowed me to enjoy both traditional almond jelly and a modern twist, beautifully concluding the course.I highly recommend this for special occasions or as a treat for yourself!★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆I explore gourmet food across the country 365 days a year!I appreciate your likes, comments, saves, and follows!If you're interested, please check out my other posts as well!Thank you for your continued support!★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
