Visit to Sant Pau Tokyo
I visited Sant Pau Tokyo after seeing Patrick's recommendation here a few weeks ago. The food, presentation, and service were all fantastic. It is too bad that they will be closing their location in Tokyo, as I would definitely be planning a return otherwise.
Here are the photos of the courses I took:
Menu for lunch
The introduction to the menu. Containing a taco with avocado and sausage, a mango cheese tart, and I forgot what the red one was called (it contained an olive oil inside).
This one contained the cockle in cream underneath the bed of caviar. The presentation on this one was fantastic.
Mackerel in vinegar.
Cream corn and foie gras. The foie gras mousse is covered in baby corn.
Rice with turban shell.
Grilled fish served with a saffron sauce. (I don’t recall the variety of fish.)
The next course included a salad served in a hollowed out pepper.
Roasted venison.
Mango crepe and semifreddo.
A variety of cookies ending with a house-made gummy (on the left).
Also, this being WatchProSite, here is a mediocre shot of my Vacheron Constantin 6000T that I was wearing.

The lighting in the restaurant really did not agree with me taking a wristshot.

That piece of Mackeral looks like a piece of fine jewelry.
Twice it's been posted and each time my brain says Chopard.
Indeed, almost a shame to eat it
Fortunately it tasted as nice as it looked so that worry passed quickly 🙂
It was a special release for The Hour Glass in Ginza
I wrote a bit about it here: www.watchprosite.com Vacheron made two models of 6000Ts with guilloche dials for the 25th anniversary of The Hour Glass in Japan. The one I have is the straight-line variant, the other had curved lines from a rose engi...
There are so many great Japanese editions...
...from various manufacturers. Maybe I should make one a priority for next time I visit : )
Oh my goodness! That food looks AMAZING!
You got the EXPENSIVE MENU! I normally just get the inexpensive Lunch menu which is only 7000 Yen (plus tax and plus service). But wow! Mouthwatering! And the formal service is also top notch. I like their olive oil so much (it's from Spain) that I even b...
I think they are only offering the larger 7-course or 9-course menus at lunch during these final weeks
I wanted to try the extra courses while I had the chance since it is unlikely I will be able to revisit.
Ugh! I'm so sad...
I ate there in December and January. Sad. Another one hits the dust! And I had dinner at their previous location about a decade ago. Will miss it very very much.
Which dish is your favorite?
Mine is usually the Venison! Slurp! And what a beautiful watch you have as a companion! My favorite Vacheron Constantin! Just tremendous!
The corn and foie gras
It is hard to pick one, but the corn and foie gras I think comes out on top for me with the mackerel being a close secod.
I'd eat the VC!
What would happen if I swallowed a watch? Hmmm... Might have to consult some doctors on that one.
More than one!
I still get people writing to me about my review of the Vacheron Constantin Traditionelle Tourbillon maybe a few times a year? Every other month roughly. Some of them are asking questions before they make a decision. Many did end up acquiring the watch. A...
OHHHH!!!
LOL! Yeah... That does make more sense! I'd like a GT Tract study, some labs, and some imaging please! Stat! Let's see, we might have to shave down those lugs, those lugs could puncture or catch something.
What an evening ! Some memorable moments…
You obviously had the right watch for such an event ! 👌👌
It might've been lunch!
This fine dining restaurant is open for lunch in Japan! Lunch used to start at 7000 Yen (plus 10% tax and 10% service) which is only around 53 Euros with the tax and service!
The linens and the napkins are just so amazing...
This restaurant has extremely nice linens. An important part that compliments the food!
