Tokyo's $13,000 'hedonist dinner.'
FORTUNE / Wednesday, November 3, 2004
...Tokyo hotel is charging for the "Hedonist Dinner" this December. The pricetag? $13,000.
The Hotel Seiyo Ginza in Tokyo enlisted wine expert Robert M. Parker Jr. and legendary (and previously semi-retired) French chef Joel Robuchon to plan the feast. The wine list will feature eight rare historical wine---including an 1864 Lafite and a 1961 Latour a Pomerol (total bar tab: $200,000, according to Christie's). Just 22 seats are available, and the hotel will confirm only that "several" are filled and that it expects the meal to sell out.
