Seasonal buffet at New Otani
At the lunch and dinner buffet of the Hotel New Otani's Top of the Tower restaurant, you can enjoy seasonal spring ingredients and panoramic views of the Tokyo metropolis from its 40th-floor perch.
The restaurant's kushiage (skewered and freshly fried food) corner serves a wide selection of fresh spring vegetables, such as rape plant, bamboo sprouts, asparagus and mushrooms, as well as pork, beef and fish. Tai fish, which is at its best at cherry blossom time, will be served yubiki style (slightly boiled and sliced). Another highlight of the buffet is a rice dish cooked with luscious asari (clams), whose flavor and aroma reach their peak in spring, together with bamboo sprouts and mushrooms. A spring vegetable salad bar and strawberry desserts, as well as the restaurant's popular roast beef, also adorn the buffet table.
The buffet is available through April 25, from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., and costs ¥5,040 for adults and ¥3,150 for children (age 4 to 12) at lunch, and ¥7,875 and ¥4,725 at dinner, including tax and service charge.
