Spring Festival Buffet & Spring Vacation Buffet
We introduce three recommended Western cuisine dishes. First is "Zarzuela," a Catalonian regional dish featuring various seafood simmered in a rich tomato base—luxurious and intensely flavorful. Enjoy it with bread or your favorite drink. Second is "Chicken Milanese Milan-style," a chicken dish fried with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmigiano-Reggiano and parsley. Topped with slightly bitter arugula and a squeeze of lemon, it's refreshing and delicious. Third is a spring-inspired pizza with seasonal "bamboo shoots and rapini," paired with the rich flavor and sweetness of Iberico bacon grilled together—a perfect wine pairing that celebrates spring.

From Japanese cuisine, we present "Pork Belly and Wild Vegetables Hot Pot," where the rich flavor and natural sweetness of pork belly is simmered with spring wild vegetables in a flavorful soy-based broth. The slight bitterness and crisp texture of wild vegetables combine with the concentrated umami of pork in this nostalgic dish that heralds spring's arrival.
