Tokyo Catering Club is a premium catering company based in Tokyo, serving corporate clients, luxury brands, embassies, international institutions and selected private clients across Japan.
Most people who work with us know us for operations: precise delivery, bilingual coordination, clean setup, discreet service, careful timing and the ability to manage complex hospitality formats in Tokyo.
What is sometimes less visible is the food itself.
What is on the plate?
Where do the ingredients come from?
How are the menus built?
Why does the culinary direction change from one event to another?
And what makes Tokyo Catering Club different from standard catering in Tokyo?
This article is about our culinary approach.
Tokyo Catering Club is sometimes associated with French hospitality and European standards. That is part of our background, but it does not define the limits of our cuisine.
Our menus are international by nature, rooted in Japan, and designed for the specific context of each event.
We create Japanese menus, Italian-inspired menus, Spanish-inspired cocktail formats, French cultural menus, Middle Eastern-inspired menus, vegan menus, halal-friendly menus, corporate bento boxes, cocktail receptions, private dinners, live stations and fully tailor-made culinary experiences.
What defines Tokyo Catering Club is not one nationality of cuisine.
It is the ability to create food that feels appropriate for the place, the guests, the season, the brand and the purpose of the event.
For a broader view of our work, you can explore our premium corporate catering services in Tokyo, our luxury and gala event catering, our selected catering portfolio, and our Media and Publications page.
International by Nature, Rooted in Japan
Tokyo is one of the most international cities in the world.
Companies based here welcome guests from Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia and Japan. Embassies host diplomatic receptions and cultural events. Luxury brands receive VIP clients, journalists, executives, private collectors and international teams. Corporate offices organize lunches, seminars, workshops, networking receptions and private hospitality moments for guests with different backgrounds and expectations.
A fixed catering style does not work in this environment.
Some clients need Italian catering for an Italian brand event.
Some need Spanish-inspired finger food for a Mediterranean reception.
Some need a pure Japanese menu.
Some need a French-inspired menu for a French cultural event.
Some need a halal-friendly program for Middle Eastern guests.
Some need vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, pork-free, alcohol-free or other dietary adaptations.
Many need something more nuanced: familiar international formats, prepared with Japanese ingredients, presented at a level that matches the occasion.
This is the culinary space Tokyo Catering Club was built for.
Our menus are not copied from a fixed catalogue. They are designed from the event outward.
The starting point is always the same:
Who are the guests?
What is the occasion?
What is the venue?
What should the food say about the host?
How will it be served?
How long does it need to hold?
What dietary requirements must be respected?
What level of refinement is expected?
Only then do we build the menu.
Japanese Ingredients as the Foundation
Most of the ingredients we use are sourced in Japan.
We work with Japanese seafood, Japanese vegetables, Japanese beef, Japanese poultry, Japanese rice, Japanese fruit, Japanese dairy, Japanese mushrooms and seasonal produce selected through our suppliers and Tokyo’s professional food markets, including Toyosu.
Japan offers exceptional product quality. For catering, this is a major advantage.
Fresh seafood, seasonal vegetables, wagyu beef, citrus fruits such as yuzu and sudachi, kabocha squash, Japanese mushrooms, herbs, rice, miso, shiso, nori, sesame, green tea, Hokkaido dairy and many other ingredients allow us to create menus that feel both local and refined.
Even when the menu is not Japanese in a traditional sense, the product base is often Japanese.
An Italian-style menu may use Japanese tomatoes, Japanese seafood or Hokkaido dairy.
A Spanish-inspired cocktail piece may combine Japanese fish with Mediterranean references.
A Middle Eastern-inspired menu may use Japanese vegetables and herbs while respecting familiar flavor profiles.
A French-style preparation may be built with Japanese poultry, Japanese mushrooms or Japanese citrus.
A corporate bento may combine international structure with Japanese seasonality.
This approach allows international guests to discover Japan through food while keeping familiar formats and references.
It also allows Japanese guests to experience familiar ingredients in a slightly different way.
Imported Products, Used Only When They Matter
We use imported products only when they are essential to the quality, identity or integrity of a dish.
Some ingredients are not produced in Japan at the level required for a specific preparation, or they belong to a particular culinary tradition.
This can include truffle, caviar, selected olive oils, specific cheeses, charcuterie, chocolate, wines or other specialty products.
The goal is never to import for the sake of importing.
The goal is to use the best product for the right purpose.
If a dish is built around caviar, the caviar must justify its presence.
If a truffle piece is proposed, the truffle must bring genuine aroma and depth.
If a specific cheese or olive oil is required, it is because the identity of the dish depends on it.
Whenever Japan offers the best product for the purpose, we use Japanese ingredients.
Technique Without Limitation
Tokyo Catering Club’s culinary approach is influenced by strong professional technique: sauces, mise en place, texture, balance, seasoning, pastry, portioning, temperature control and presentation.
French and European technique are part of this foundation.
But technique is not a cage.
It is a tool.
We use it to build menus inspired by Japan, Italy, France, Spain, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, Asia, Britain, North America and other culinary cultures when the event calls for it.
Sometimes the right answer is a pure Japanese menu.
Sometimes it is a French dinner.
Sometimes it is an Italian-style reception.
Sometimes it is a halal-friendly Middle Eastern-inspired program.
Sometimes it is a vegan corporate lunch.
Sometimes it is a cocktail menu built around Japanese ingredients and international formats.
We do not create fusion for the sake of fusion.
We combine Japanese ingredients, global culinary references and professional catering technique only when they make the menu more coherent for the event.
This flexibility is one of the reasons Tokyo Catering Club works with embassies, global companies, luxury brands and international private clients.
They need food that can speak to guests from different cultures without becoming generic.
Sourcing: Toyosu, Japanese Producers and Artisan Partners
Our sourcing network is central to our work.
Our suppliers are based across Japan and at Toyosu Market, one of Tokyo’s most important professional food markets. This gives us access to seasonal Japanese seafood, vegetables, fruit and other products selected by quality, freshness and timing rather than convenience.
For seafood, this may include Hokkaido sea urchin, local bonito, Hokkaido scallops, sea bream, yellowtail, tuna, ikura, seasonal shellfish and fish selected according to the event and the season.
For produce, we work with Japanese vegetables, herbs, citrus, mushrooms, rice, fruit and dairy depending on the menu.
For bread, we work with artisan partners in Tokyo, including BRØD, a Danish micro-bakery based in Hiroo. Their Nordic sourdough is dense, flavorful and structurally reliable, making it particularly useful for premium finger sandwiches and catering formats where bread must hold well during service.
For selected events requiring exceptional pastry, we collaborate with leading pastry chefs in Tokyo to create desserts and sweet pieces specifically designed for the occasion.
This sourcing network allows us to combine Japanese ingredients, artisan production and international culinary references in a way that feels genuinely connected to Tokyo.
International Menus Built for the Context
Tokyo Catering Club does not use international cuisine as a generic label.
For us, “international catering” means understanding the cultural references, guest expectations, dietary needs and event format behind each request.
The same client may need a Japanese lunch, a Mediterranean reception, a vegan coffee break, an Italian brand activation menu and a premium bento delivery at different moments of the year.
The standard must remain consistent.
The menu must adapt.
Italian Catering in Tokyo
Italian-inspired catering is one of the most useful formats for brand events, corporate receptions and private hospitality in Tokyo.
It can feel generous, elegant and familiar while still allowing strong product quality and seasonal adaptation.
For Italian brands, the menu must feel culturally coherent. For international corporate clients, Italian food can offer comfort and accessibility. For luxury events, it can be refined without feeling distant.
Examples of our Italian-inspired approach include Hokkaido burrata with Japanese tomatoes, wagyu tonnato, focaccia-based cocktail pieces, seasonal vegetable tartlets, pasta or risotto-style buffet formats, and Italian wine service when appropriate.
The question is not simply how to reproduce Italian food in Tokyo.
The question is which elements should remain Italian, and which elements can be improved through Japanese ingredients.
That judgment is at the heart of how we build these menus.
Spanish-Inspired Catering in Tokyo
Spanish-inspired catering works particularly well for cocktail receptions and standing events.
Many Spanish formats — pintxos, pan con tomate, tapas, chilled soups, seafood bites — naturally translate into small portions, shared moments and wine-friendly service.
In Tokyo, this style becomes especially interesting when combined with Japanese products.
A bonito tataki can be paired with yuzukosho and an ajo blanco reference.
A cold tomato-based verrine can use Japanese summer produce and Spanish olive oil.
A pintxo format can be adapted with seasonal vegetables, seafood, rillettes, pickles or other toppings depending on the event.
This is not about turning every piece into fusion.
It is about using a format that works for catering and adapting it to Tokyo’s product quality.
Japanese Catering in Tokyo
Japanese catering can take many forms.
It may be a refined Japanese buffet, a bento format, sushi and nigiri, tataki, miso-glazed fish, wagyu, Japanese vegetable preparations, seasonal rice dishes, matcha desserts or Japanese-inspired cocktail pieces.
For international guests, Japanese catering is often a way to experience the place they are visiting.
For Japanese guests, it must be precise, respectful and well-executed.
This is why we are careful with Japanese references. They cannot feel decorative or superficial. The ingredients, seasoning and presentation must make sense.
Through our The Box and Premium Bento format, we also provide premium bento catering for corporate lunches, executive meetings, private deliveries and brand hospitality in Tokyo.
Middle Eastern and Halal-Friendly Catering in Tokyo
For Middle Eastern clients, embassies and international guest lists, dietary requirements and cultural expectations must be considered from the beginning.
A halal-friendly menu is not simply a standard menu with certain ingredients removed.
The menu must remain generous, varied, coherent and satisfying.
For the Embassy of Oman, Tokyo Catering Club created Middle Eastern-inspired menus adapted to a halal-friendly framework over several consecutive days. The menus were designed to remain varied and familiar to Middle Eastern guests while using high-quality Japanese ingredients whenever possible.
For specific halal requirements, we review the level of compliance needed at the proposal stage so the menu, sourcing and preparation method can be aligned with the client’s expectations.
Vegan, Vegetarian and Dietary Menus
Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, pork-free, shellfish-free, alcohol-free and allergy-sensitive menus are part of modern hospitality in Tokyo.
For international corporate events, embassy receptions and VIP hospitality, it is common to have multiple dietary requirements within the same guest list.
We design menus where these requirements are integrated from the beginning, not added at the end.
A vegan guest should receive something as carefully composed as the rest of the menu.
A vegetarian menu should have structure, flavor and visual appeal.
A gluten-free option should be designed to work structurally without gluten, not simply be a dish with elements removed.
A halal-friendly preparation should use the same ingredient quality and culinary attention as every other dish.
This approach is only possible when menu design starts with the ingredient, the technique, the format and the guest experience.
Organic, Seasonal and Natural Ingredients
For clients who prioritize organic, seasonal or natural ingredients, sourcing makes all the difference.
Tokyo Catering Club uses seasonal Japanese produce and carefully selected ingredients whenever possible. When a client has specific expectations around organic or natural sourcing, we discuss those requirements at the proposal stage and adapt the menu accordingly.
This may include seasonal vegetables, organic produce when available through our supplier network, artisan bread, additive-free preparations, plant-based dishes, lighter sauces or menus designed around freshness and natural flavor.
We do not use “organic” as a generic marketing label.
We treat it as a sourcing requirement that must be discussed clearly, ingredient by ingredient, according to availability and event format.
Signature Pieces Across International Formats
Tokyo Catering Club does not rely on a fixed restaurant-style menu.
However, certain pieces help explain our culinary approach because they show how Japanese ingredients, international references and catering logic come together.
These examples are not a full menu. They are a window into how we think.
Sakura-Smoked Salmon Finger Sandwich
Salmon cold-smoked over sakura wood, served on artisan Nordic sourdough from Hiroo, with dill sour cream and fresh yuzu zest.
The sakura smoke is delicate and floral.
The dill sour cream brings richness and acidity.
The yuzu gives a Japanese citrus lift.
The bread holds its structure during service.
This is a piece that belongs specifically to Tokyo: Japanese smoking, Japanese citrus, artisan bread, European balance and catering-specific construction.
Cauliflower, Hokkaido Sea Urchin and Leek Oil
One of our most technical preparations combines cauliflower cream, Hokkaido sea urchin and green leek oil.
The sea urchin brings oceanic sweetness and a strong Japanese identity.
The cauliflower brings softness and structure.
The leek oil adds freshness, color and balance.
This preparation can be presented as a tartlet or as a verrine depending on the event format.
The idea is the same: premium Japanese seafood, precise technique and a format designed for service.
Wagyu in Cocktail and Buffet Formats
Wagyu appears in several formats across our menus: tartlets, verrines, focaccia pieces, sliced roast, buffet dishes or live station formats.
The preparation changes depending on the event, but the principle remains the same.
The accompaniments should support the wagyu, not cover it.
Japanese mushrooms, light condiments, pepper mayonnaise, wasabi, reduced sauces or seasonal vegetables may be used depending on the cut, the format and the guest profile.
Hokkaido Scallop, Coral Cream and Timut Pepper
Hokkaido scallops are among the finest seafood products available in Japan.
We use them with preparations that respect their sweetness and texture. In one example, the coral is turned into a cream and paired with Timut pepper, which brings a citrus-forward, grapefruit-like heat.
This is a good example of our approach: a Japanese product, a precise preparation, and an international spice used only because it improves the dish.
Japanese Fish: Raw, Ceviche and Tataki
We work with local Japanese fish in several preparations.
Raw preparations follow Japanese principles of freshness and precision, adapted to catering timing and temperature requirements.
Ceviche-style preparations may use yuzu or sudachi as the acid element, giving the dish a Japanese citrus profile even when the technique references South American traditions.
Tataki works particularly well in catering because it can be prepared in advance while holding its quality during service.
One example is bonito tataki with yuzukosho, ajo blanco mousse and almonds: Japanese fish, Japanese condiment, Spanish reference, balanced into a catering-friendly format.
Mini Quiche with Hokkaido Dairy, Parmesan and Truffle
Our mini quiches are designed to be refined, stable and easy to serve.
One version combines Hokkaido dairy, aged Parmesan and truffle in a small format that works particularly well for cocktail receptions and brand events.
Hokkaido dairy brings richness and softness.
Parmesan adds depth and umami.
Truffle adds aroma when the event calls for a more luxurious profile.
The format is familiar and catering-friendly, while the ingredient selection gives it a premium identity.
Matcha Pastry Cream and Seasonal Japanese Fruit
A seasonal fruit tartlet with matcha pastry cream is one of our most appreciated sweet pieces.
The matcha is balanced so its bitterness reads as depth rather than sharpness. The fruit changes with the season: Japanese strawberries, figs, citrus or other produce depending on availability.
This piece renews itself naturally across the year while keeping the same identity.
Vanilla and Sakura Cannelé
A French classic reinterpreted with a Japanese finish.
The cannelé keeps its caramelized crust and soft interior, while sakura adds a subtle floral note.
The sakura element does not transform the dessert into something artificial. It adds a layer of place and season while respecting the original structure.
Chocolate, Praliné and Salted Caramel
Some pieces work because they are direct, stable and universally appreciated.
A 70% chocolate financier with praliné and salted caramel is one of those formats. It works across corporate receptions, luxury brand events and VIP hospitality because it is elegant, easy to serve and satisfying in one bite.
Menus Built for the Event, Not From a Catalogue
Because Tokyo Catering Club works with luxury brands, embassies, global corporations and private clients, many menus are built around a specific cultural identity, brand universe or guest profile.
This is not about adding decorative references to a standard menu.
It is about understanding the context and translating it into food that feels appropriate, coherent and memorable.
Porsche Center Takanawa
For Porsche Center Takanawa, Tokyo Catering Club created a menu inspired by Japanese cuisine and the idea of “Wa” — Japanese harmony.
In this type of project, food must match the brand environment.
It cannot feel disconnected from the cars, the showroom, the guests or the visual direction of the event.
Japanese ingredients, seasonal references, precise presentation and a calm sense of refinement allowed the menu to support the atmosphere of the event.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Centenary
For the Rolls-Royce Phantom Centenary event at Azabudai Hills, Tokyo Catering Club created a menu inspired by British elegance and the identity of the Phantom.
This type of event requires a culinary approach that is discreet, refined and highly controlled.
The food must support the prestige of the occasion without becoming theatrical in a way that distracts from the brand.
For luxury automotive events, catering is part of the overall hospitality experience. It must match the product, the venue, the guests and the tone of the event.
The event was officially featured by Cornes Motors: Rolls-Royce Phantom 100th Anniversary Event.
For more examples of our work with luxury, diplomatic and large-scale clients, you can visit our premium catering portfolio.
Embassy of Oman
For the Embassy of Oman, Tokyo Catering Club created Middle Eastern-inspired menus adapted to a halal-friendly framework over several consecutive days.
This required more than removing certain ingredients.
The menus had to remain varied, culturally coherent and aligned with familiar Middle Eastern flavors, while still using high-quality Japanese ingredients whenever possible.
This kind of project shows how Tokyo Catering Club combines cultural adaptation, dietary requirements and local sourcing.
FOPE and Italian Brand Events
For Italian brands such as FOPE, Tokyo Catering Club has created Italian-inspired menus aligned with the identity of the client.
In these cases, the menu can be clearly Italian or subtly adapted with Japanese ingredients, depending on the purpose of the event, the guest profile and the brand direction.
For Italian luxury brands, food must feel elegant, generous, precise and culturally coherent.
Belgian Embassy Events
For events connected to Belgium, Tokyo Catering Club has adapted menus around Belgian culinary references, including Belgian waffles, vol-au-vent and mussel-based finger food.
The goal was not to reproduce a restaurant menu.
The goal was to create catering-friendly formats that guests could enjoy in an event setting while still recognizing familiar Belgian markers.
Bonjour France with Jean Reno
For the Bonjour France event with Jean Reno, organized with the CCI France Japon, Tokyo Catering Club prepared a cocktail reception with a menu connected to the personality and cinematic universe of the guest of honor.
Food can support storytelling.
In this case, the menu was not only French-Japanese in spirit. It was connected to a specific cultural moment, a public figure and an event celebrating French culture in Japan.
The event was later featured by the CCI France Japon, which mentioned the cocktail reception prepared by Tokyo Catering Club: A rendez-vous with Jean Reno, presented by Bonjour France.
This external coverage is also listed on our Media and Publications page.
Philippine Ambassador’s Residence and Paul Cabral Fashion Show
Tokyo Catering Club also supported an event at the Philippine Ambassador’s residence in Tokyo for a Paul Cabral fashion show.
The official page from the Philippine Embassy in Tokyo describes the event as “Filipino Elegance: Paul Cabral Fashion Show,” held at the historic Philippine Ambassador’s residence in Kudan. The event celebrated Filipino artistry, textile and fashion, and welcomed distinguished guests including Her Imperial Highness Princess Takamado, members of the diplomatic corps and other high-level attendees.
You can read the official Embassy event report here: The Best of Filipino Artistry, Textile and Fashion Showcased in Paul Cabral Fashion Show at Historic Philippine Ambassador’s Residence.
For this context, the menu included Japanese elements as well as Filipino-inspired influences, creating a bridge between the setting, the designer and the guests.
This type of project shows how food can accompany a cultural event without overpowering it.
The menu must respect the identity of the host, the cultural significance of the occasion and the expectations of a high-level guest list.
Catering Logic: Food That Travels and Performs
Catering is not restaurant dining.
Food is prepared in advance, transported, held safely, finished on site when needed, and served in settings that are often not designed as restaurants.
Every dish on a Tokyo Catering Club menu is considered not only for how it tastes, but for how it performs in a catering environment — in transit, during service and in the hands of the guest.
A finger food piece must survive transport, hold its structure for the duration of service, and be manageable in one or two bites while standing.
A bento must remain fresh, clean and visually intact from production to delivery.
A buffet dish must maintain its texture and appearance after service begins.
A plated dinner must be coordinated with the venue, timing, staff, equipment and service flow.
A live station must be theatrical, efficient, safe and consistent.
These are not secondary details.
They define whether a catering menu actually works.
The sakura-smoked salmon sandwich holds because the bread, filling and moisture level are designed for service.
The cauliflower and sea urchin preparation works because the cream has the right consistency and the format is adapted to the event.
The scallop and Timut pepper piece is designed to be eaten in one clean movement.
These are decisions made at the recipe level, informed by years of catering production in Tokyo.
For more on the operational side of hospitality in Japan, you can read Why Event Hospitality in Japan Is Mostly an Operations Challenge.
Handmade Production in Our Kitchen
All our food is prepared in our professional kitchen.
We are not a resale catering platform and we do not simply assemble outsourced products.
Our menus are prepared by our kitchen team, with recipes developed, tested, adjusted and improved over time.
This handmade approach is important.
It allows us to control seasoning, texture, portion size, presentation, allergens, dietary adaptations and consistency.
It also allows us to adapt when a client has a specific request, a cultural direction, a brand requirement or a dietary constraint.
For clients looking for a compact but premium format, we also developed The Box and Premium Bento, designed for private homes, executive meetings, brand activations and confidential corporate gatherings in Tokyo.
For private events, family celebrations and selected VIP requests, you can also read our article on private catering in Tokyo.
Menu Renewal for Regular Clients
Many Tokyo Catering Club clients place multiple orders throughout the year.
Corporate clients may host executive lunches, coffee breaks, seminars and networking receptions.
Embassies may welcome different delegations.
Luxury brands may organize multiple activations.
Private clients may host regular gatherings for international guests.
These clients expect consistency in quality, but not repetition.
Seasonal Japanese produce provides a natural renewal calendar.
Spring brings delicate vegetables, herbs and fruit.
Summer calls for lighter preparations and freshness.
Autumn offers mushrooms, satsumaimo, deeper umami and warmer flavors.
Winter is a season for citrus, richer sauces and some of the finest seafood from Hokkaido and other regions of Japan.
Beyond seasonality, we adapt menus to the client profile, guest list, event format and occasion.
The culinary identity stays consistent.
The menu changes.
This is why flexibility is not a marketing claim for Tokyo Catering Club.
It is a practical necessity for clients who require premium catering several times per year.
A Network of Chefs and Culinary Partners
In addition to our internal kitchen team, Tokyo Catering Club works with chefs and culinary partners from different backgrounds.
This gives us additional flexibility for specific projects, cultural requests, regional cuisines, technical preparations and premium dining formats.
For selected events, this network allows us to support menus that require a particular culinary identity or additional expertise.
Combined with our internal production, logistics, service and event coordination, this gives clients a single catering partner able to manage both creative food design and operational execution in Tokyo.

From Japanese Ingredients to International Hospitality
For Tokyo Catering Club, food is not only about cuisine.
It is about hospitality.
The menu must welcome the guest.
It must respect the host.
It must fit the venue.
It must make sense for the moment.
Whether the request is a corporate lunch, a luxury brand reception, a private dinner, an embassy event, a vegan menu, a halal-friendly catering service, a Japanese-inspired cocktail reception, an Italian-style brand event or a fully tailor-made private menu, the same principle applies:
food should feel thoughtful, precise and appropriate.
That is the foundation of Tokyo Catering Club’s culinary approach.

Tokyo Catering Clubでは、輸入食材も使用します。
ただし、それは料理の品質、個性、または完成度にとって本当に必要な場合に限ります。
たとえば、トリュフ、キャビア、厳選したオリーブオイル、特定のチーズ、シャルキュトリー、チョコレート、ワイン、その他の専門食材です。
輸入すること自体が目的ではありません。
目的は、その料理にとって最も適した食材を使うことです。
技術は、料理を限定するものではない
Tokyo Catering Clubの料理は、確かなプロの技術に支えられています。
フランス料理やヨーロッパの調理技術も、その土台の一部です。

私たちは、単に「フュージョン」を作りたいから組み合わせるわけではありません。
日本の食材、世界各国の料理の考え方、そしてプロのケータリング技術を組み合わせるのは、それがイベント全体をより自然で、より意味のあるものにする場合だけです。
イベントの文脈に合わせて作るインターナショナルメニュー
Tokyo Catering Clubにとって、「インターナショナルケータリング」とは、単にさまざまな国の料理を並べることではありません。
それぞれのリクエストの背景にある文化的な要素、ゲストの期待、食事制限、イベントの形式を理解することです。
東京でのイタリアンケータリング
イタリアンをベースにしたケータリングは、東京でのブランドイベント、企業レセプション、プライベートホスピタリティに非常に適した形式の一つです。

東京での日本料理ケータリング
日本料理のケータリングには、洗練された和のビュッフェ、弁当形式、寿司や握り、たたき、味噌漬けの魚、和牛、日本野菜の料理、季節のご飯もの、抹茶のデザート、和の要素を取り入れたカクテルピースなど、さまざまな形があります。
また、The Box and Premium Bentoを通じて、企業ランチ、エグゼクティブミーティング、プライベートデリバリー、ブランドホスピタリティ向けのプレミアム弁当ケータリングも提供しています。
中東風メニューとハラールフレンドリーケータリング
在日オマーン大使館の案件では、Tokyo Catering Clubは、複数日にわたり、中東の食文化から着想を得たハラールフレンドリーなメニューを提供しました。
具体的なハラール要件がある場合は、提案段階で必要な対応レベルを確認し、メニュー、仕入れ、調理方法をクライアントの期待に合わせて調整します。
ヴィーガン、ベジタリアン、その他の食事制限への対応
ヴィーガン、ベジタリアン、グルテンフリー、乳製品不使用、豚肉不使用、甲殻類不使用、アルコール不使用、アレルギー対応などは、東京での現代的なホスピタリティにおいて重要な要素です。
Tokyo Catering Clubでは、これらを後から付け足すのではなく、メニュー設計の最初の段階から考えます。
Tokyo Catering Clubの料理を表すシグネチャーピース
Tokyo Catering Clubは、固定されたレストランメニューに頼っているわけではありません。
しかし、私たちの料理への考え方を説明する上で、いくつかの代表的なピースがあります。

ケータリングとして成立する料理
ケータリングは、レストランでの食事とは異なります。
料理は事前に準備され、運ばれ、適切に保管され、必要に応じて現場で仕上げられ、必ずしもレストランとして設計されていない空間で提供されます。
Tokyo Catering Clubのメニューに含まれる料理は、味だけでなく、ケータリング環境でどのように機能するかも考慮されています。
自社キッチンでの手作り
Tokyo Catering Clubの料理は、すべて私たちのプロフェッショナルキッチンで準備されています。
私たちは、既製品を仕入れて並べるだけのケータリング会社ではありません。
メニューはキッチンチームによって作られ、レシピは開発され、テストされ、調整され、改善されます。
