Hotel New Otani Makuhari's tea and cocktail lounge The Lounge is holding the Sandwich & Sweets Buffet — Chestnut and Grape Autumn Sweets Collection from September 1 (Tue) to November 2 (Mon), 2026.
Classic Hotel Sweets Loaded with Autumn Fruit
Even amid the ongoing heat, temperatures have begun dropping in the evenings, hinting at the arrival of autumn. This year, The Lounge brings together sweets made with seasonal chestnuts and grapes along with other autumn ingredients. Guests can enjoy all they like from a lineup that includes the long-beloved Chestnut Shortcake and Chestnut Mille-Feuille, along with a Grape Tart and Grape Roll, plus a rich Pumpkin Tart and Candied Sweet Potato Panna Cotta, as well as the Super Melon Shortcake, made only with musk melon that has a sugar content of 14 degrees or higher.
Fresh-Pressed Chestnut Ice Mont Blanc, Finished as a Crepe
Every year, the fresh-pressed ice Mont Blanc is the unwavering top favorite at the autumn buffet. Made to order, rich house-made milk gelato is topped generously with Japanese chestnut paste pressed as fine as silk thread, served as a "Fresh-Pressed Ice Mont Blanc, Crepe Style." Enjoy the rich aroma of Japanese chestnut alongside lightly sweetened gelato and a crepe, along with the live, made-to-order feel of the fresh dessert.
Freshly Baked Sweet Potato Pie and Chestnut Danish for a Grown-Up Taste of Autumn
Baked in-house, the flaky pastry of the Sweet Potato Pie wraps a melting sweet potato paste filling, while the Chestnut Danish pairs fluffy chestnut with custard cream for a perfect match with coffee or milk tea. These are grown-up sweets worth trying this autumn.
New: The Buzzy Mala Tang Corner — Sweet, Salty, and Spicy for the Ultimate Loop
One highlight on the food menu is mala tang, a dish that has been drawing daily lines across the country and is especially popular among women. Its numbing spice and deep, rich flavor pleasantly stir the appetite in autumn. Drawing on feedback from several staff members who love mala tang, the buffet offers 10 kinds of ingredients, including beef, chicken, fish roe balls, quail eggs, mushrooms, and wood ear mushrooms, along with thick, flat glass noodles (dangmyeon) that are essential to mala tang. Guests choose their favorite toppings and ladle on the spicy soup to complete their own original bowl. Enjoy the ultimate sweet-and-spicy loop to your heart's content, alternating between sweet desserts and the salty, numbingly spicy mala tang.
From Roast Beef to Pizza — A Lineup for Hearty Appetites Too
Carved right in front of guests, the juicy Roast Beef and the piping-hot Pizza Margherita baked in-house are joined by a variety of original sandwiches, including the Dashimaki Tamago Sandwich and the Lemon-Scented Smoked Salmon Sandwich.
New for autumn are the Fried Fish Burger with Japanese-Style Thousand Island Sauce, featuring vividly colored orange buns with a tomato flavor, the Double Cheese Beef Burger with black buns made with bamboo charcoal, and the Grape Sandwich, filled with fresh grapes and whipped cream. All are small, making them easy to enjoy.
