Experience the Joy of Italian Flavors with Strawberries
Starting January 10, 2026, the Keio Plaza Hotel Hachioji invites you to a delightful dining experience at its 2nd-floor restaurant, Le Clere, with a special buffet titled "Indulge in a Colorful Italian Culinary Experience Featuring Strawberry Treats." This gourmet event showcases rich Italian flavors complemented by the vibrant taste of seasonal strawberries. It promises to be a feast for both the palate and the eyes.
A Symphony of Italian Delights
Immerse yourself in the enticing aromas of olive oil, herbs, and the freshest vegetables as you explore an array of Italian dishes. From savory seafood and hearty meat preparations to colorful antipasti, this buffet offers something for everyone. Notably, the live kitchen experience allows guests to witness chefs skillfully preparing dishes right before their eyes. Indulge in pasta tossed with Grana Padano cheese, savor the flavors of classic Puttanesca (tomato sauce with olives), and enjoy rich beef ragout cream pasta, along with tender roast beef carved fresh for your plate.
Wine lovers can also rejoice, as sommelier Katsunari Takayama has handpicked an impressive collection of Italian wines to accompany the meal. Enjoy exquisite pairings like the intensely flavorful Acqua Pazza, the spicy and crispy Pollo Alla Diavola, and fragrant Bruschetta adorned with tomatoes and herbs, creating perfect harmony with the Italian cuisine.
Strawberry Sweets to Sweeten the Deal
Highlighting this buffet are the beautiful Italian desserts featuring seasonal strawberries. Indulge in the velvety Strawberry Tiramisu, which perfectly balances the creaminess of mascarpone with the refreshing tartness of strawberries, and try the traditional Italian Crostata, filled to the brim with strawberry jam and presented in a beautifully baked lattice crust—crunchy and sweet all at once.
Dinner Exclusives and Family-Friendly Offerings
From January to March, the busy dinner service caters to family gatherings and celebrations, with increased offerings. Guests can explore dishes like Tuna Carpaccio and Tuna Steaks polished with Italian flair, catering to all ages, from children to seniors. The buffet boasts around 30 exquisite dishes, including colorful cold dishes, popular pastas, pizzas, and of course, the star—strawberry desserts—from Tiramisu to Strawberry Shortcakes and Cassata.
