Unforgettable Dining Experience at VIEW & DINING THE SKY
This summer, elevate your dining experience at the renowned VIEW & DINING THE SKY, located on the top floor of the Hotel New Otani in Tokyo. Exclusively open from August 8 to August 16, this special Obon event offers a unique buffet showcasing a rich array of delicacies from Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisines, all enjoyed alongside breathtaking 360-degree views of Tokyo.
At VIEW & DINING, you are treated to a delightful feast for the senses. Picture yourself savoring freshly grilled teppanyaki, expertly crafted sushi, and piping hot tempura, all prepared right before your eyes. The live cooking experience ensures that each dish arrives at your table fresh and bursting with flavor.
A Taste of Luxury: Teppanyaki Comparison
One highlight of this buffet is the opportunity to taste two exquisite cuts of steak. Guests can indulge in both the tender "filet," known for its subtle and delicate flavor, and the rich, marbled "sirloin," which melts in your mouth with every bite. The lively ambiance of the open kitchen enhances the experience, as diners can enjoy the delightful sound of sizzling meat as it’s cooked.
Delectable Sushi with Seasonal Flavors
The sushi counter is another not-to-miss experience during this limited-time event. Here, skilled sushi chefs will prepare a selection of high-quality ingredients, including popular choices such as medium fatty tuna, sweet shrimp, and luxurious eel. The sushi rice is marinated with "aka-su," a traditional red vinegar made from sake lees, which enhances the sushi's natural flavors. Guests are encouraged to interact with the chefs and select their favorite toppings for a personalized sushi experience that turns each visit into a culinary adventure.
Seasonal Tempura Delights
The tempura counter showcases a variety of seasonal ingredients, featuring fresh shrimp from Itoshima and local vegetables. Diners can personally select their preferred vegetables and seafood, which are then expertly fried by skilled chefs to perfection. Using rice oil and rice flour, the fried dishes achieve an unbeatable crispy texture that only freshly prepared tempura can provide.
Indulgent Desserts to Sweeten the Experience
To complete your meal, the renowned pastries of "Patisserie SATSUKI" are on display, featuring the signature "Super Series" cakes. Guests can enjoy the extraordinary "Super Melon Shortcake," made with premium melons boasting a sugar content of 14 degrees or higher, and rich "Taiyō eggs" for that perfect sponge cake texture, layered with light and luxurious cream sourced from Kumamoto.
Refreshing Summer Drink: Frozen Watermelon
Adding a refreshing twist to this summer buffet is the introduction of a newly crafted drink: the Frozen Watermelon. This non-alcoholic beverage uses only the freshest in-season watermelon, presented as a frozen delight without any added ice—allowing guests to enjoy the unadulterated richness of the fruit.
For ¥2,800, excluding service charges, guests can immerse themselves in this luxurious dining experience.
