Spend Christmas Eve enjoying a perfect pairing of fine food and soulful jazz.
As you enjoy a five-course dinner at the American Room that begins with a welcome toast of Dom Pérignon, tap your toes to swingin' sets of holiday-inspired tunes.
The band for the night will be Kaori Fujita on sax and Arata Umehara on guitar. Fujita has played at the Nakasu Jazz Festival, and regularly performs in Tokyo, Yokohama and other cities, while Umehara won the Best Music Award at the 50th ACC CM Festival and plays at live houses and jazz clubs around Tokyo.
You can also hear the music from a seat at the Muromachi Bar & Lounge as you enjoy a seasonal cocktail or two along with some delectable bar bites.
Two perfect ways to while away the hours before Santa comes to town!
