Celebrate the Lunar New Year with Exquisite Cuisine

The Lunar New Year, known as Spring Festival in China, is the most significant celebration, marking the arrival of the new year under the lunar calendar. At the 'China Shadow' restaurant on the 26th floor of the Strings Hotel Tokyo, guests are invited to experience a vibrant and luxurious culinary journey from February 1 to February 28, 2026, through a special Chinese New Year course.

The menu kicks off with an elaborate assortment of celebratory appetizers. Guests can expect a unique take on the traditional pork belly, served as a 'Tonpo-lo Chinese Burger', alongside 'Lao Rou', a type of smoked pork enjoyed during Spring Festival tables across China. Both flavorsome and playful, these dishes bring a touch of tradition to the dining experience.

Next, warm dumplings filled with pork and Chinese cabbage are served in a delightful, rich broth—providing comfort with every bite.

Bringing the experience to a sweet conclusion, the course includes a special dessert that highlights 'Nian Gao', a traditional rice cake, as well as cookies shaped like horses, acknowledging the Year of the Horse.
