Christmas Events and Decorations
In addition to the Christmas tree in the courtyard, which has been a popular spot for social networking every year, this year's decorations include many sustainable elements. The Christmas tree is based on a fir tree and decorated with ornaments made from recycled paper and dried flowers. The Karesansui (dry landscape garden) on the same floor will be decorated with botanical lights that generate electricity with the power of plants, creating a magical effect.

A sustainable tree made of recycled construction waste and other materials will be installed on the first floor [MAENIWA].

The Christmas dinner course at Hysoop on the 4th floor is again this year's out-of-the-box, free-spirited conception of plant-based dishes, all prepared in collaboration with Mr. Ryuki Kitajima of "neutral". The course begins with an aperitif flavored with cider and herbs, followed by a refreshing amuse of garland chrysanthemum and yuzu. The course also includes a rich and deep-tasting soup made with Perigord chestnuts, sautéed pecoros, and vegetables baked in a 200 degree oven for two hours.

For both vegans and non-vegans to enjoy at the same table, the main course will be a choice of pie crust baked with beet and plant-based meat or roasted Wagyu beef, and for dessert, a white tarte tatin inspired by the image of snow falling on the ground. Be sure to try this new Christmas dinner that turns vegan eating on its head.
