Hotel New Otani Makuhari's garden restaurant "Shell the Garden" will host MAKUHARI Resort Dining, a Golden Week limited gourmet event, on April 26 (Sun), April 29 (Wed/Holiday), May 2 (Sat), May 3 (Sun/Holiday), and May 4 (Mon/Holiday). The event features three distinct dining experiences across the hotel's expansive outdoor spaces.
No Equipment Needed! The Popular "Garden BBQ"
Set within the hotel's 900-tsubo garden space "Fuugetsuen" (literally "garden of wind and moon"), a full-scale BBQ event opens for the Golden Week period. The menu includes thick and juicy pork spare ribs, seafood cooked in foil, and "hot chocolate & marshmallows" for dessert — all prepared by the hotel's kitchen team. Families with children or dogs, as well as groups of friends, are welcome to enjoy the open-air outdoor setting.
◆ Garden BBQ

3-Day Limited "Premium Dinner" Supervised by the Executive Chef
A special three-day dinner conceived by Hotel New Otani Makuhari Executive Chef Hiroyuki Koide will be offered during the event. The main dish is a carefully roasted US Prime Beef that lets the natural flavor of the meat shine. Served in a chic, modern waterside private house setting, this dinner is suited for a memorable evening with someone special.

This year, for the first time, dogs are welcome in response to long-standing requests from guests who wanted to enjoy afternoon tea with their pets. In addition, the adjacent "Shell House" (シェルハウス) will now be available for use indoors, allowing the event to accommodate more guests.
