At "Museum Cafe & Restaurant THE SUN & THE MOON" on the 52nd floor of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, a limited menu is offered to commemorate the "Ghibli Exposition" being held at Roppongi Hills Observatory.
A menu that expresses the world view of Ghibli movies, I would like to convey the taste to everyone as a cornerstone of Ghibli fans! So, I went to Roppongi Hills to eat. Among them, we would like to introduce 5 recommended "Ghibli menus"!
◆ 5 recommended menu items from the editorial department!
1, fried egg toast & meatball soup
Croque Madame baked with ham and cheese sandwiched between two toasts, white sauce (bechamel sauce) and fried egg. A tomato-flavored soup containing two meatballs is included in the set.
It seems to be the image of that "Laputa bread" that Pazu and Sheeta were eating and that soup that Pazu said "Put two meatballs!".
When you bite into the toast, the fragrant sauce with a slight browning, creamy cheese, and soft-boiled egg melt in your mouth!
There is a lot of ham between the breads. The more you chew, the more moist and salty it spreads. Not to mention the compatibility with cheese!
The meatball soup is full of vegetables such as onions and carrots, and mushrooms. The sourness of the tomatoes works well, making it a perfect taste for summer.
Meat dumplings are fluffy and tender, and when chewed, they crumble. It's light, so you can use as many as you like! Pazu, I'm not enough with these two ...
2, Makuro Burger
A hamburger like "Makurokurosuke" that appears in Totoro. Menchi-katsu, which is flavored and colored with medium-concentrated sauce and bamboo charcoal, is topped with eggplant and mizuna, and sandwiched between buns colored black with bamboo charcoal.
Fluffy buns, crispy mizuna, moist eggplant. When you bite into it, you will be greeted by various textures. And the minced meat cutlet wrapped in crispy batter is thick, and when you chew it, the gravy is juicy from inside!
I'm thrilled because it's too black, but don't worry because it has an old-fashioned relieved taste. It has a homely taste, seasoned with a sweet and spicy medium-concentrated sauce.
3, herring and pumpkin pie
Broccoli and bacon are added to herring and pumpkin, and white sauce and cheese are combined and wrapped in a pie. It is topped with olives.
I think there are many people who hurt the pie delivered by the witch Kiki when they said, "I hate this pie." And there should be many people who are interested in "what kind of taste is it?"
By the way, this menu is served in a basket, just like when Kiki carried it.
When I try it, it's really delicious ...! The crisp and fragrant pie has a rich butter flavor and a rich sweetness. The moist mouthfeel is also elegant.
The herring wrapped inside is moist, and the pumpkin is hook-hoku, and the umami and sweetness of each are in perfect harmony! With a mellow sauce and cheese, the richness is further doubled. Far from disliking it, it's so delicious that you'll want to make it again!
By the way, herring and pumpkin pies are limited to 50 meals a day, so they usually sell out after 12:00 noon. If you want to eat, please come visit us in the morning!
4, Matcha umbrella shaved ice
Matcha shaved ice topped with kakigo beans and mandarin oranges. "Umbrella" and "bamboo leaf" are displayed. This chunky and adorable silhouette ... you, maybe ...?
Matcha sauce is modestly sweet and bittersweet, giving it an adult taste overall. The beans are also very simple and sweet. Soak crispy and thick ice in plenty of matcha sauce and eat. If you spread beans and mandarin oranges together, you can enjoy a rich taste as if you were eating anmitsu.
5, shaved ice in the sky
Shaved ice seasoned with lemon and melon, two types of syrup. A candy that can be played vigorously so that you can hear "cracking ..." when you listen to it, and a jelly that shines like a "flying stone" are placed on the colon.
The transparent vessel is also nice. The whole shaved ice is like the kingdom of Laputa.
For juicy shaved ice, I'm happiest to eat a mixture of lemon and melon! A perfect balance of sweetness and sourness, it soaks into the lit body.
The blue jelly, which is so beautiful that you will want to shout "Bals!", Is colored with Blue Curacao (spirit). When I put the flying stone in my mouth, I missed the elasticity of Poyonpoyon (that's right ...). When chewed, the refreshing sweetness spreads.
When I ate the shaved ice halfway, another jelly came out from the inside! This isn't that huge flying stone in the heart of Laputa ...!?
In addition, there is a lineup of menus reminiscent of Ghibli works, such as "With Neapolitan & Red Wine for Airplane" (1,480 yen) and "Cream Soda in the Sky" (700 yen). All of them are for a limited time until September 11th, so why not try the romantic menu while thinking about the movie?
The store is always lined up, but the waiting time may be relatively short at night. However, the limited quantity menu may be gone, so please consult with your friends who will go with your physical strength and energy to decide.
