Christmas Tree in the Lobby (1F)
The lobby on the 1st floor is a space reminiscent of an 18th-century British aristocratic mansion. Christmas is the time of year when The Ritz-Carlton, Osaka is at its most colorful, and from November 13 (Fri) to December 27 (Sun), a Christmas tree about 3.5 meters tall and decorated with about 1,000 roses will stand in the lobby.
Tree design and decoration supervision: シャマイムローズ ギャラリー. The photo shows the 2025 Christmas tree.
Afternoon Buffet "Winter Wonderland — A World of Winter Dreams" / Italian Restaurant Splendido (1F)
The buffet offers 12 sweets expressing the fantastical world of a wonderland, along with nine savory dishes by Head Chef Masayuki Aoshima that show the variety of Italian cuisine.
Executive Pastry Chef Frédéric Moreau's 12 sweets include "Toffee Pudding with Pecan Nut Crunch and Gingerbread Spice," made with the gingerbread spice that is a Christmas staple, and the "Matcha Mousse Christmas Tree," inspired by a snow-covered Christmas tree. The lineup also includes a Christmas stollen made with lemon and raisins, and "Earl Grey-Infused Plum Far Breton," a traditional pastry long loved in Brittany in northwest France, given the aroma of Earl Grey.
The savory dishes by Splendido Head Chef Masayuki Aoshima combine traditional Christmas ingredients with flavors of winter. Chef Aoshima trained for about four and a half years in regions across Italy, including Lombardy, Liguria, and Piedmont, and during that time traveled through almost all of the country's 20 regions to learn about food culture and regional cuisine. In addition to turkey and roast chicken, ingredients that symbolize the holiday season, the menu includes hot dishes that draw on the rich flavors of porcini mushrooms and Parmesan cheese, as well as appetizers made with seasonal ingredients.
