We report observational results of the J=2-1 CO emission in the 5'×5' region toward Sgr A*. The fully sampled high angular resolution (30`) data reveal considerable details of the neutral gas ``disk'' in the central 10pc of the Galaxy. Although the CO distribution is generally consistent with a tilted rotating disk, the present data indicate that the distribution is significantly asymmetric with respect to Sgr A*. The Co rotation curve derived from the negative velocity CO lobe indicates that the mass in the inner 10pc increases linearly with radius from 3pc to 10pc.
