About the Christmas Special Course
Aged Beef Bite-Size Pie
The course begins with a crisp bite-size pie filled with aged beef simmered in red wine and fond de veau. It is included in the ¥10,000 lunch course and both dinner options, priced at ¥19,000 or ¥24,000.
Salmon and Vegetable Mille-Feuille with Caviar
Salmon and seasonal vegetables are layered with cauliflower puree and caviar for a colorful appetizer. The dish is part of the Christmas course, starting at ¥10,000 for lunch.
Aged Beef Consommé Soup
This soup uses a beef broth made by drawing flavor from aged beef bones, finished with the aroma of truffle. It is served as part of the Christmas dinner course, priced at ¥19,000 or ¥24,000.
Filet Mignon with Foie Gras
The filet mignon main is served with foie gras, truffle-style flavor, and red wine sauce. The Christmas dinner course featuring this steak costs ¥19,000 (tax and service included).
USDA Prime Aged T-Bone Steak
The signature T-bone combines the rich flavor of sirloin with the delicate texture of filet on one bone. The dinner course with this steak costs ¥24,000 (tax and service included).
Fraise Chocolat
The dessert balances fresh strawberry acidity with deep chocolate flavor and gentle vanilla cream. Fraise Chocolat is included in the ¥10,000 lunch course and the ¥19,000 and ¥24,000 dinner courses.
The menu combines New York steakhouse cooking with the atmosphere of a renovated Kyoto machiya. Benjamin Steakhouse uses USDA Prime beef imported from the United States, ages it in-house for at least 28 days, and cooks each steak on a dedicated grill.
