Hotel New Otani Osaka's all-day dining restaurant SATSUKI is hosting the "GW Special Gourmet Buffet: Wagyu Beef × Sushi × Sweets" during the Golden Week holiday period, from April 29 (Wednesday/National Holiday) to May 6 (Wednesday/Substitute Holiday), 2026. The buffet brings together classic crowd-pleasing dishes that the whole family can enjoy, from children to adults.
This Year's GW Trend: Luxurious Dining Close to Home
The 2026 Golden Week offers up to 12 consecutive days off. However, with the historically weak yen, rising prices making overseas travel less accessible, and crowded domestic tourist spots due to inbound demand, many people are looking for a "nearby yet satisfying" experience — what is being called the "close, short, and high-value" approach to the holidays.
In response to this trend, Hotel New Otani Osaka — which celebrates its 40th anniversary in September 2026 — is offering a special limited-time buffet. The aim is to provide a "food vacation" experience that three generations of a family can enjoy together, without the fatigue of long-distance travel.
A Golden Week Feast of Wagyu Beef
A highlight for meat lovers is the limited-time "Wagyu Beef Corner." The lineup includes Wagyu Harami Steak seasoned with a spicy truffle-infused sauce, Garlic Rice, Menchi Katsu (deep-fried minced meat cutlet), Braised Wagyu Bara Niku (simmered short rib) that melts in the mouth, and even Wagyu Ramen. The hotel's signature Roast Beef, carved tableside, is also available — showcasing the tender texture and natural sweetness of Japanese domestic beef.
A Final Taste of the Season: Amaou Strawberry Sweets
For dessert, a lineup of amaou strawberry sweets awaits, including the "New Super Amaou Strawberry Shortcake" from Hotel New Otani's signature "Super Series." This cake generously features premium Hakata amaou strawberries — known as the "king of strawberries" — layered with light cream and moist sponge. Golden Week marks one of the last chances to enjoy amaou sweets for the season.
