★4.0【FILE 4118】2023/06/17 (Saturday) 11:36 Visited a French restaurant that opened four months ago in GINZATOKIDEN Building on Corridor Street in Ginza in February 2023. Made a reservation four days ago on 6/13 (Tuesday) and visited. There are two sister restaurants, Sublime and Sublime Premium, which opened in August 2017 and February 2023, respectively. The interior is stylish with a unified black theme and only windows. Inside, there are 18 tables on the left, and 4 private rooms at the back, seating a total of 28 people, creating an intimate atmosphere. There were no other customers at the time of the visit. Afterward, only one couple (2 people) entered, so it was relatively empty. The customer base is 50% male and 50% female. The service is provided by one male staff and one female staff, both of whom are attentive.
The menu includes:
◆ Weekday Lunch Course 6,000 yen (tax included) (Bread, Amuse-bouche, Appetizer, Main course, Dessert, Coffee)
◆ Regular Lunch Course 7,200 yen (tax included) (Bread, Amuse-bouche, Appetizer, Soup, Main course, Dessert, Coffee)

A separate 10% service charge is required for all courses. I ordered the Lunch Course 7,200 yen with a limited-time discount, which was 1,000 yen off, plus a 10% service charge, totaling 6,820 yen. The course included the following dishes:

The Amuse-bouche was Zuwai crab and paprika with fresh emulsion, served in a transparent dish with crab, paprika, and a paste made with yuba (tofu skin) and foam, garnished with fresh emulsion. It was beautifully presented and delicious.
The Appetizer was octopus and myoga with wasabi leaf cold cream, served on a large round plate with blanched octopus arranged like carpaccio, myoga (Japanese ginger), ice plant, myoga, and pickles made with plum vinegar. The dish was completed by pouring cold wasabi leaf cream over it. The octopus had a semi-raw texture, and the combination of bitter salad, the acidity of pickles, and the wasabi cream was delicious.
The Soup was a specialty: fermented mushroom with egg, served in a large round dish. It featured mushrooms fermented for over two weeks with only 4% salt at 16°C in a wine cellar, with a poached egg and mushroom slices covering the top. The deep umami and richness of the fermented mushrooms were very delicious.
The Main course was Iwachu pork roast with citrus marmalade-scented jus, presented on a large round dish with roasted vegetables, pumpkin paste, and Iwate Prefecture's Iwachu pork roast, garnished with a sauce made from fond de veau. The Iwachu pork roast had a rich flavor, and the sweetness of the pumpkin paste added a delightful touch.
The Dessert was fresh melon, almond, and orange mousse, served in the center of a large round dish, concealed under white decorations and topped with gold leaf. Upon opening, you could see the vibrant colors of melon and orange. It was delicious.
The Coffee was freshly brewed espresso-type coffee and was delicious.
The Petit fours included financiers, strawberry marshmallows, and orange rosemary.
