Sheraton Miyako Hotel, Tokyo

We were walking by the Meguro Station last night and saw the shuttle bus for the Sheraton Miyako Hotel (which, by the way, is celebrating their 1st anniversary under Starwood). On a whim, we hopped on and ended up having an excellent macrobiotic vegetarian 6-course set menu at their Cafe California. This set menu changes monthly. The October version is:

lily root fondant & carrot mousse
potato & pumpkin veloute
gratin of onion, mushroom, lotus root & tofu
mille feuille of eggplant, spinach, fresh gluten with bell pepper sauce
risotto with black sesame and wasabi
grape granite and compote with coconut jelly
coffee or tea

6,300 yen (including the 5% tax) +10% service

Excellent, delicious meal with high quality ingredients and simple but expert preparation. The quantity was smallish, typical Japanese portions, and bread was not served, so we finished the meal satisfied but not stuffed.

The service was excellent. Parking is free for 4 hours with 3000+ yen bill (or 2 hours if 1000+ yen).

The hotel is in between the Shirokane dai & Shirokane takanawa subway stops. Free shuttle bus to/from Meguro Station.

I wish I had discovered this place months ago!
