Hotel New Otani Makuhari's Tea & Cocktail "The Lounge" is hosting the "Pompompurin Collaboration Sweets Buffet – Pompompurin's Warm Hug and Sweet Healing Moment" for a limited time from Tuesday, November 3 (a national holiday) to Monday, December 7, 2026. The event is a collaboration with Sanrio's hugely popular character Pompompurin, who celebrates the 30th anniversary of its debut.
Pompompurin Celebrates Its 30th Anniversary at the Buffet
Pompompurin, beloved since its 1996 debut, ranked first in the "2026 Sanrio Character Awards" for the second year in a row. The pastry chefs of Hotel New Otani have recreated the adorable expressions and world of Pompompurin and friends down to the finest details, with sweets that delight both the eyes and the palate.
Pompompurin and "Tart" Best-Friend Tart
The star of the buffet: a tart of delicate custard cream made with wasanbon sugar, layered with vanilla cream and topped with a three-dimensional Pompompurin face.
Pompompurin's Saint-Marc
Based on the classic French pastry "Saint-Marc," this refined treat pairs the rich flavors of chocolate and vanilla mousse with an illustration of Pompompurin.
"Muffin's" Tiramisu Muffin
A tiramisu-style muffin topped with mascarpone cream, cocoa powder, and marshmallow, inspired by Pompompurin's friend "Muffin" for a cute treat with a grown-up touch.
Pompompurin's Fluffy Strawberry Roll Cake
A luxurious roll cake, perfect for an anniversary, made with a fluffy sponge using Hotel New Otani's specially selected "brown rice eggs" and rolled around strawberry fresh cream.
Pompompurin's Smooth Pudding
A smooth custard pudding made with eggs carefully selected by the hotel's chefs, enjoyable by adults and children alike.
Pompompurin's Strawberry Macaron
A gently flavored macaron filled with strawberry buttercream. Pompompurin's adorable design is also worth a look.
White Chocolate Mousse "Pompompurin and Friends"
A silky mousse finished with white chocolate and coconut, pairing perfectly with the fruit toppings.
"Scone's" Cranberry Scone
A crisp, fluffy cranberry scone with icing shaped like the face of Pompompurin's friend "Scone," giving it a charming expression.
Savory Dishes Like Roast Beef and Hot Pizza Round Out the Buffet

Carrot and Salmon Bagel Sandwich
Refreshing Mint Salad
The buffet puts the same care into its savory menu as into its sweets. Juicy roast beef carved right in front of guests and piping hot "Pizza Margherita" baked in-house are on offer, along with a wide variety of original sandwiches such as a dashimaki egg sandwich. The "Carrot and Salmon Bagel Sandwich" pairs fragrant smoked salmon with crunchy carrot, and the "Refreshing Mint Salad" makes a good palate cleanser, giving guests plenty of dishes to alternate with the sweets. The authentic menu is hearty enough to be enjoyed as a full meal.
A Makuhari-Original Can Badge Is Included
As an original perk of Hotel New Otani Makuhari, every guest receives one Pompompurin can badge. There are 4 designs in total, and which one you get is a surprise. One of the 4 is a secret hologram version.

Two original collaboration drinks are also available. A buffet-exclusive straw pick and coaster (2 designs in total; the design cannot be chosen) are given as gifts as well.
