Introducing Bella Vista

The renowned Hotel New Otani in Tokyo unveils a refreshed dining experience with the grand reopening of "Bella Vista" on June 1, 2025. This reimagined restaurant offers an incredible menu centered around grilled dishes prepared using both charcoal and wood fire, complemented by a superb selection of wines. This endeavor comes amid a significant rise in inbound tourism, as the Japan National Tourism Organization reports that 3,497,600 foreign visitors arrived in March 2025 alone, incentivizing the hotel to elevate its culinary offerings to cater to both domestic and international patrons.

Culinary Excellence

The fresh approach at Bella Vista focuses on the essence of flavor by utilizing primitive cooking techniques that enhance the natural taste of the ingredients. With an extensive history of culinary pursuit spanning over 60 years, Hotel New Otani has access to limited but exquisite premium ingredients. Expect to savor exquisite flavors from rare breeds of wagyu beef, as well as the freshest seafood sourced directly from local producers.

One signature dish, the "Jomon-Grilled Wagyu Fillet" priced at ¥22,000 (service charge not included), showcases the chef's expertise in selecting top-tier meats. Featuring a blend of Japanese wagyu beef, the dish is crafted with precision and simplicity, seasoned solely with salt and pepper to let the intrinsic flavors shine. The pepper used is uniquely prepared, marinated in natural salt and crushed by hand to bring out a fresh and tangy zest that accentuates the rich flavors of the grilled meat and the aromatic woods used in the cooking process.

Bella Vista thrives on quality and nuance, ensuring every plate reflects the restaurant's quest for authenticity.

A Wine Selection Like No Other

Complementing these fine grill dishes is an impressive wine collection featuring around 700 bottles carefully curated for optimal quality. The selection boasts renowned wines from France and Italy, along with carefully chosen labels from the New World, including a spotlight on premium Japanese wines. Recognizing the importance of coupling the right wines with food, Japan's top sommeliers at Bella Vista are prepared to guide diners through a creative pairing experience that goes beyond traditional rules. Here, one can savor the essence of each grilled item with the perfect wine accompaniment crafted solely for that moment.
