A Celebration of Culinary Excellence at Bella Vista

As the Hotel New Otani in Tokyo commemorates the one-year anniversary of its revamped Western restaurant, Bella Vista, a remarkable dining experience awaits. Launching on June 1, 2026, to honor this special occasion, the restaurant will present a unique anniversary course featuring its signature 'Jomon Grill.' This tantalizing offering combines the powerful heat of charcoal and the aromatic wood fire, allowing guests to savor expertly grilled dishes paired with hand-selected wines, all while enjoying breathtaking views from the top floor.

The Unique Jomon Grill Experience

The Jomon Grill is the heart of Bella Vista's culinary offering. It brings together an ancient cooking method that draws upon the elemental fires of charcoal and wood. Under the expertise of Chef Shintaro Saito, guests can enjoy a menu designed to highlight the natural flavors of high-quality ingredients. Unlike the usual service where dishes are accompanied only by salt and pepper, this course features an innovative 'Tomato Condiment' specifically crafted for the exquisite Japanese beef fillet, enhancing the overall dining experience.

Anniversary Course Highlights:

• - Charred Fugu Carpaccio paired with Oscietra Caviar
• - Wood-Fired Bacon Carbonara
• - Grilled Lobster Jomon Style
• - Grilled Japanese Beef Fillet with Tomato Condiment
• - Milk Gelato with the fragrant touch of Sicilian lemon from Tanohata's dairy cows

The Jomon Grill method is not just about cooking; it's an art that captures primal techniques of fire cooking, delivering a depth of flavors that is both simple and dynamic. Bella Vista aims to elevate these traditional methods to meet the standards of fine dining, creating an unparalleled taste experience for guests.

Seasonal Delights to Savor

In addition to the anniversary course, Bella Vista will also feature a seasonal dish that is a must-try: Chilled Pasta with Peach and Prosciutto accented with Sansho. Priced at ¥3,500, this refreshing dish blends the sweetness of seasonal peaches with the zesty kick of sansho, making it an extraordinary addition to the lunch and dinner courses available from June 1 to September 15.

The Visionary Behind the Menu

Chef Shintaro Saito, who became the head chef of Bella Vista in 2025, brings a wealth of experience from prestigious establishments, including the renowned Tour d'Argent in Paris. Since its inception in 1964, Bella Vista has been a beacon of culinary exploration, continually evolving to offer guests an exceptional gastronomic journey.

Located on the 40th floor of the Hotel New Otani at a stunning 144 meters above ground, Bella Vista continues to captivate its guests with splendid views and an unwavering commitment to culinary excellence.
