A Culinary Adventure: The New Fluffy Souffle Omelette at Hotel New Otani's Bella Vista

As the crisp air of autumn arrives, the culinary team at Hotel New Otani in Tokyo has unveiled an enticing new dish that promises to capture the essence of the season: the 'Souffle Omelette with Porcini Sauce'. Offered at the esteemed Bella Vista restaurant, this creation is available through early December 2025, and it is set to become a must-try for food enthusiasts and seasonal delights alike.

An Ode to Porcini Mushrooms

Renowned as one of the world's top three mushrooms, porcini is celebrated for its robust aroma and rich flavor. Often referred to as the “King of Mushrooms” in Italy, porcini's name translates to “little pig,” a nod to its substantial and meaty texture that has won the hearts of chefs and diners globally. At Bella Vista, the culinary team highlights this exquisite ingredient through their new menu, showcasing the versatility and the luxurious nature of porcini.

The Fluffiness Factor

The star of the show is undoubtedly the Souffle Omelette priced at ¥2,200 (service charge excluded). This dish is a marvel of texture; it is made by expertly whipping the eggs to incorporate air, cooking it gently in an oven to create a dish that feels almost ethereal. The omelette is light and airy, dissolving delicately upon your palate, while enhanced by a subtly seasoned flavor that beautifully complements the decadent porcini sauce. The sauce is not just enriching but aromatic, perfectly showcasing the chopped porcini's texture while creating a harmonious experience with the souffle omelette.

Indulging in Porcini

In addition to the omelette, Bella Vista introduces a rich Porcini Cream Pasta made with spaghetti, a dish that takes advantage of the season’s signature mushroom. The creamy sauce envelops the pasta, offering a defined and luxurious flavor that tantalizes the senses. You'll find finely chopped porcini throughout, resulting in a beautiful interplay of aroma and taste that resonates with every bite. The dish is elegantly garnished with larger porcini pieces on top for an added textural contrast and a generous finish. The Premium Lunch Course and the Prix Fixe Dinner Course, both starting at ¥15,000 (service charge excluded), feature this delectable pasta as a selection for diners.

Sweet Autumn Treats

Not to be overlooked, the dessert offerings are equally enticing. Bella Vista has revamped its dessert plate to showcase the best from two beloved sweet boutiques: Pierre Hermé Paris and Patisserie SATSUKI. Titled 'Pierre Hermé Paris and Patisserie SATSUKI Collection', this collection features six delightful confections, including the signature ‘Super Melon Shortcake’—a celebrated sweet of Hotel New Otani, along with seasonal options featuring chestnuts and grapes. Guests can enjoy this exquisite dessert plate as part of the Prix Fixe Lunch Course (¥8,000 and up) or the Prix Fixe Dinner Course (¥15,000 and up). Please note that chestnut and grape items will be available until late November.
