The Tokyo Station Hotel is set to introduce a seasonal culinary offering with its “Chilled Pasta with Specially Selected Tomatoes and Seafood with Basil Cheese Sauce,” available from August 1, 2026. Served in the quiet surroundings of the hotel’s historic Marunouchi building, the dish is designed to provide a light yet substantial meal during the height of the Japanese summer. The recipe centers on delicate cappellini noodles paired with a selection of scallops, squid, and shrimp.
Summer Flavors with Chilled Seafood and Tomato Cappellini
The foundation of the dish is an organic tomato juice base, which is enhanced with clam dashi to create a deep umami profile that complements the natural sweetness of the seafood. This combination ensures a savory depth that balances the refreshing qualities of a chilled pasta. The addition of a vibrant green basil sauce provides a fragrant aromatic finish that cuts through the summer heat.
Seasonal Ingredients and Regional Accents
The dish highlights a colorful selection of red, yellow, and orange cherry tomatoes sourced from contracted farms in Nagano, Ishinomaki, and Boso. With 140g of pasta, the portion is intended to be as satisfying as a main course while maintaining the lightness of a fresh salad. The interplay of the acidic tomatoes and the rich basil cheese sauce creates a balanced flavor profile suited for the season.
An Elegant Escape in the Heart of Tokyo Station
This seasonal menu is served in The Lobby Lounge on the first floor, a space characterized by its European classic design and modern functionalism. Guests dine beneath chandeliers crafted by Barovier & Toso, the oldest glass maker in Venice, Italy. Located just 30 steps from Tokyo Station, the lounge provides an accessible retreat for travelers and locals alike seeking a moment of calm in the city center.
