Hotel New Otani Makuhari is offering the "Strawberry Afternoon Tea Set" at its Penthouse Lounge "Bay Court Cafe" located on the hotel's top floor, for a limited period from January 5, 2026 (Monday) to February 28 (Saturday).

This strawberry-themed afternoon tea set features Hakata Amaou strawberries as the star, perfect as a reward for a year well spent or as a fresh start to the new year. The luxurious three-tier afternoon tea set includes strawberry sweets, New Otani's renowned "Super Series," and chef-selected savory items, all beautifully balanced. Enjoy an elegant tea time with stunning views from the hotel's top floor.

Experience Luxurious Afternoon Tea Featuring "Hakata Amaou," the King of Strawberries

Tea stand top tier

The top tier of the tea stand features two varieties from the "Super Series," created with carefully selected ingredients. New Otani's signature "Super Melon Shortcake" uses only Shizuoka-grown musk melons with a sugar content of 14 or higher, alongside the "New Super Amaou Shortcake" made with perfectly ripened Hakata Amaou strawberries, the king of strawberries. Other luxurious strawberry sweets include the Japanese-style "Amaou Roll" that will surely delight your heart.

Tea stand middle tier

The middle tier presents "Amaou Jelly" made with generous amounts of Hakata Amaou juice, and the visually appealing "Strawberry Panna Cotta" with its beautiful red and white contrast. The selection also includes hotel-made "Strawberry Scones" with strawberries baked right in, offering a complete and satisfying menu.

Generous Portions! Hotel-Quality Luxurious Savory Items, Plus Strawberry Parfait

Tea stand bottom tier

The bottom tier features "Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Cannolo" — an adaptation of Sicily's traditional fried pastry "Cannolo" with a creamy richness and saltiness that spreads throughout your mouth. Also included are "Takkabi-Style Beef Doria" with an exquisite combination of cheese and sweet-spicy beef, and the "Wagyu Smash Burger," mini-sized but packed with satisfying flavor. These carefully crafted savory items showcase the chef's dedication to authentic tastes.

Steamed Chicken and Root Vegetable Chip Salad

Purple Sweet Potato Potage

The menu also includes "Steamed Chicken and Root Vegetable Chip Salad" with a delightful crispy texture, and the comforting "Purple Sweet Potato Potage."

French Fries with Sour Cream Flavor
