Janu Tokyo Mercato: Azabudai Hills Italian Lunch Course Review, Menu & Prices

Here's the Italian lunch course at Janu Tokyo Mercato, with price, menu, and reservation info organized with the latest 2026 details. I'm also sharing my actual review of the lunch from the Tokyo Tower view indoor seats at Azabudai Hills.

Let me introduce Janu Mercato (JANU MERCATO), the Italian restaurant on the 1st floor of Janu Tokyo in Azabudai Hills. It’s an all-day dining venue inside Janu Tokyo, a brand by the Aman Group of world-class luxury hotels, where you can enjoy an Italian lunch course.

Janu Tokyo Mercato Restaurant Introduction

Named from the Sanskrit word meaning “soul,” Janu is a luxury hotel brand from the Aman Group. Janu Tokyo is the Tokyo hotel in Azabudai Hills, and Janu Mercato within it is a contemporary Italian restaurant inspired by Italian markets.

A floor-to-ceiling-window space with natural light, combined with three open kitchens, creates a more open atmosphere than typical hotel dining. The menu features Italian dishes built around seasonal ingredients, with course and à la carte options available from lunch through dinner.

Tokyo Tower View Indoor Seat Lunch 4-Course Review

The lunch 4-course I actually experienced was an excellent meal that showed the essence of “Japanese Italian” using seasonal ingredients.

① [Starter] Whetting the appetite

Shirasu (whitebait) & ricotta cheese salad: Combines shirasu, an ingredient distinctive to Japan, with soft Italian ricotta cheese. Savory avocado, refreshing Japanese summer mandarin (amanatsu), and the lightly fragrant vermouth jelly come together to wake the palate in a clean, crisp way.

New onion soup: A soup made by slowly simmering new onions, in season and packed with sweetness, with the smoothness of mascarpone cream and the kick of pink pepper as accents.

② [Pasta & Risotto] Filling you up before the main

Octopus ragu basil fusilli: A short pasta with a savory ragu sauce made by slow-cooking chewy octopus, with celery, capers, and olives added for a generous Mediterranean flavor.

Iwate Prefecture chicken thigh tagliatelle: The essence of “Japanese Italian,” combining premium chicken from Iwate Prefecture with Japanese traditional ingredients like burdock, garlic scapes, and sansho pepper. Balsamic vinegar lifts the overall savoriness sharply.

Mussel risotto: A mussel risotto carrying a deep aroma of the sea, paired with fragrant fennel and pleasantly bitter cresson (watercress) for a great balance of flavors.

③ [Main] The course highlight

Today’s fish sauté: A seasonal fish dish cooked crisp on the outside and moist inside. The sweet corn salsa and the manganji pepper (a Kyoto specialty pepper that’s not spicy but sweet) come together in harmony.

Roast lamb leg: Lamb roasted to tenderness, served with an anchovy & olive sauce bursting with savoriness. Freshly dug, fluffy new potatoes and crisp green asparagus add to the flavor.

Kyushu Nakamura wagyu steak (+¥3,800): Nakamura beef, a Kyushu premium black-cattle brand, grilled brimming with juices. (Choice of soft fillet 90g or savory sirloin 120g.)

④ [Dessert] A sweet finish

Classic tiramisu: An authentic Italian tiramisu where the deep espresso aroma meets mascarpone cheese, a perfect match with post-meal coffee.

Terrine custard pudding: A pudding with a thick texture that melts away in the mouth, topped generously with mascarpone cream for a pleasant sweetness.

Macedonia & limoncello granita: A fresh fruit salad topped with a granita made from refreshing Italian lemon liqueur (limoncello) to cleanly reset the palate. Recommended for anyone who wants a crisp finish.

The lunch 4-course at ¥8,800 is a very reasonable level given the prices and service quality at a luxury hotel restaurant in Azabudai Hills.

The service charge and tax are all included, so you can focus on the meal with peace of mind, and above all, the premium of the Tokyo Tower view spreading out beyond the window holds a value that’s hard to put in money terms.

If you’re planning an anniversary with someone special during a Tokyo trip, or a particularly memorable special lunch, I recommend a relaxed meal at Janu Tokyo Mercato in Azabudai Hills.
