Keio Plaza Hotel Hachioji Launches Local Produce Buffet for Banquets
The Keio Plaza Hotel Hachioji, located in Hachioji City, Tokyo, is set to unveil its latest banquet plan, titled "Future Weaving Local Produce Buffet," commencing on June 1, 2026. This innovative buffet will feature ingredients sourced from the local area, including Tokyo beef (Akiukawa beef), rainbow trout from a farm in Hachioji's Ongata town, and various seasonal vegetables grown in Hachioji. The hotel aims to blend traditional culinary techniques with fresh local produce, creating a unique dining experience that promotes the richness of the Tama region.
As a part of their commitment to regional development, the hotel has designed this buffet to not only cater to high-value corporate banquets but also to enhance the appeal of Hachioji and the broader Tama area through local food offerings. The hotel's general manager, Kazuhiko Ichimura, stresses the importance of supporting community agriculture and engaging directly with local producers. Moreover, the head chef, Kazuyoshi Takahashi, has personally visited Takemura Farm in Akiukawa to deepen understanding of the ingredients and incorporate their stories into the buffet menu, thereby enriching guests' appreciation of local flavors.
The buffet will feature a live cooking station, a highlight for guests that will serve freshly made dishes, ensuring the essence of local culinary culture is presented. Among the offerings will be shabu-shabu from Tokyo beef, Hachioji-style ramen, and a unique version of Hachioji Neapolitan pasta, showcasing local colors and tastes.
In addition to the main buffet, the hotel has curated optional dishes and beverages using local ingredients. For example, the drink menu will include Hachioji Castle Junmai sake from Ozawa Brewery and unfiltered Junmai from Ishikawa Brewery in Fukusawa, alongside Japan Beer, a resurrected local brew from the Meiji era. Such pairings will not only enhance the dining experience but also serve to highlight the allure of the region’s produce.

- Smoked Hachioji rainbow trout served on canapés with Camembert cheese.
- Seasonal vegetable salad bar featuring Hachioji's unique produce.
