Gourmet wagyu mini trio burgers with fries: #1 with foie gras and caramelised onions, #2 with truffle and lobster, #3 with melted camembertLocated near the bustling Tokyo central station, the Four Seasons Tokyo at Marunouchi has an entrance that is as nondescript as its one and only restaurant, Ekki Bar & Grill. Lunching with 2 hot mamas and an adorable little one, we were eagerly anticipating a gastronomical experience that comes with the excellent reputation of the hotel.
However, that enthusiasm quickly dissipated with each bite of these famed wagyu burgers. Justice has not been done to these gourmet beef burgers as the patties were not as juicy and succulent as one would have expected. They were clearly over-grilled and our suspicions were that perhaps it was an uphill task to cook them to perfection given their minute sizes. The only saving grace to this otherwise bland experience was the exemplary service staff at Ekki Bar & Grill.
If you are still keen to try (granted the description does sound heavenly), tell them that you would like your beef patties done medium rare. Hopefully this will do the trick. Good luck and please drop me a comment if you manage to have an earth-shattering experience at Ekki Bar & Grill...
