At the restaurant "GRIL & WINE GENIE'S TOKYO" in Roppongi, Tokyo, a barbecue plan using "specialized high-class ingredients" was launched on April 24th. In addition to foie gras and A5 rank Japanese black beef, it is said that " Dom Pérignon's cooked rice " will appear in the shime.

I cooked that Dom Pérignon for rice !? I had no choice but to participate in the tasting party of the En-eating editorial department and ate it.

◆ Speaking of the surprising "Dom Pérignon" menu ...

"Roppongi", "Dom Pérignon", and "Shaved Ice". Some of these three words became a hot topic last summer. "Dom Pérignon's shaved ice". Yes, the restaurant became a hot topic last year when it offered "Dom Pérignon's shaved ice." It is said that this year, Dom Pérignon was cooked and used for rice. I can not believe that!

However, the members who launched the restaurant are mainly the former manager and former chef of the famous French restaurant "Maxim de Paris" in Ginza (which will close in June!). At first glance, the menu is wicked, but you can expect quality.

◆ From A5 Wagyu beef to duck meat

There are two types of menus offered: "Roppongi" Slightly Adult "Barbecue Plan" (6,000 yen including tax) and "Roppongi" Luxury Adult "Barbecue Plan" (10,000 yen including tax). It is a summer outdoor limited BBQ plan.

◆ With good meat and good sake

As introduced above, the feature is that you can enjoy gorgeous meat that you can hardly find in general BBQ.

For example, A5 rank Japanese black beef steak is said to be of a quality that can be eaten raw. Bake this in chunks, cut it, and serve it with a French-like sauce that goes well with the meat. The meat part seems to change from time to time. You can also enjoy different parts little by little. If you are interested, please ask the staff.

Meat, seafood, and vegetables are limited to the same BBQ plan, and additional orders are possible. You can also get all-you-can-drink for 2,500 yen.

◆ Finally eat Dom Pérignon's cooked rice

Now, it's finally time to face the "main course" of Dom Pérignon's cooked rice. You can choose "Ginza Platinum Curry" or "Dom Perignon's Cooked Rice" as a shime. When it comes to cooking using effervescent liquor like Dom Pérignon, the impression that it is a rare item cannot be wiped out. However, in the world of French cuisine, it seems that it is not uncommon to use it for cooking, such as stewing meat with champagne.

Even so, it is cooked rice using that Dom Pérignon. Honestly, I couldn't understand the scent of Dom Pérignon when I tried to eat it. What was the scent of Dom Pérignon ... I realized when I was desperately trying to remember it. I have never drank Dom Pérignon. What a blunder!

For such a "Dom Pérignon beginner" writer, this menu was simply "insanely delicious paella-style cooked rice ." I think that the flavor of sake is deepened and the aroma of seafood stands out. It was a shime that goes well with wine.

The plan will be available until September 30th. It can be used during all business hours (consultation is also available from 15:00 to 17:00 during idle time). 2 hours system, reservation required. The maximum capacity of terrace seats is 16 people. Since it is outdoors, it will be canceled in case of rain, but if there are vacant seats in the store, the same menu will be prepared and drinks will be 10% off.

Although not included in the plan, it seems that "Dom Pérignon's shaved ice", which was a hot topic last year, will continue to be offered. An adult BBQ that you can enjoy in a calm space on the "outside" of Midtown. Sometimes such a moment would be nice.
