Embrace the Winter: Fugu Hot Pot Fair at The Westin Hotel Tokyo

As the winter season approaches, there’s no better place to savor its exquisite culinary delights than at The Westin Hotel Tokyo, situated in the heart of Meguro, Tokyo. Starting from January 6 to February 28, 2026, the hotel’s Japanese restaurant, Mai, will host its highly anticipated winter hot pot fair, where guests can indulge in a selection of four warm and delightful hot pot dishes.

Seasonal Delights: A Warm Embrace

This winter, dive into the warmth and flavors of fugu, one of Japan’s most celebrated seasonal delicacies, showcased prominently in their specially curated fugu hot pot course. The fugu’s delicate yet profound flavors are enhanced through several preparations, including fugu sashimi and fugu chiri (hot pot).

In addition to the fugu hot pot, guests can also enjoy premium wagyu shabu-shabu, a seafood nabe brimming with the season’s best offerings, and a rich and savory chicken water hot pot featuring tender jidori chicken. Each of these options is served in a private room, allowing for an intimate and cozy dining experience throughout the cold season.

A Culinary Journey Awaits

The fugu hot pot course stands out as a must-try, offering a harmonious blend of seasonal vegetables and mushrooms, all simmered in a dashi made from the hotel’s signature Rausu kombu. Completing the meal with flavorful zosui (rice porridge) or udon noodles ensures a comforting finish that warms the soul.

Other delightful hot pot options include:

• - Wagyu Shabu-Shabu: A sublime experience featuring melt-in-your-mouth wagyu beef, served with exquisite seasonal vegetables and savory dipping sauces.
• - Seafood Nabe: A celebration of the ocean with shrimps, scallops, and seasonal fish splendidly combined with vegetables and tofu in a delicate broth.
• - Jidori Chicken Water Hot Pot: Showcasing the rich flavors of local chicken paired with expertly selected herbs and vegetables, achieving an unforgettable taste.
