Premium Super Amaou Shortcakes Worth Over ¥1,500 Per Piece—All You Can Eat!
Hotel New Otani Makuhari became the first hotel in Chiba Prefecture to launch a strawberry buffet back in spring 2009. Since then, over 260,000 guests have enjoyed this seasonal experience through the last season. The star menu item for 2026 is undoubtedly the "New Super Amaou Shortcake"! This popular dessert, typically priced at over ¥1,500 per piece, is now available in buffet portions for unlimited enjoyment.
Classic Strawberry Favorites Loved Since the Hotel's Opening
The "Napoleon Pie" has been cherished for 60 years since Hotel New Otani (Tokyo) first opened its doors. This exquisite combination of crispy puff pastry layers, rich custard cream, and fresh strawberries creates an irresistible flavor that has made it the most popular choice among female guests. During the first phase (through February 28), it appears as the "Amaou Napoleon Pie." In addition to classic favorites like strawberry tart, strawberry roll cake, and strawberry jelly, you'll find innovative creations such as canelés coated in strawberry chocolate, and croissants infused with strawberry throughout the dough. Savor these luxurious strawberry desserts to your heart's content.
Made-to-Order Delights with That Fresh, Just-Prepared Touch
Pink-Batter "Strawberry Crepes"
Making its debut, this visually stunning crepe features pink-tinted batter topped with generous portions of whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and crunchy chocolate granola. Each crepe is carefully assembled to order right before your eyes, creating an engaging live experience. The result is a photogenic treat that's as delightful to look at as it is to taste.
Fluffy-Chewy "Strawberry Pizza" Baked Fresh In-House
The dough is handmade fresh each morning and baked in the restaurant's 400°C oven for immediate service. The "Strawberry Pizza" features an abundance of fresh strawberries. One bite reveals a delightful harmony of the strawberries' refreshing acidity, rich custard cream, and the fluffy-chewy dough texture.
"Fresh-Squeezed Ice Cream Mont Blanc" in Strawberry Version
The "Fresh-Squeezed Ice Cream Mont Blanc" is prepared to order, with each portion freshly squeezed right in front of you, accompanied by a sauce packed with strawberry pulp. This popular dessert features hotel-made milk gelato topped with generous amounts of aromatic fresh-squeezed marron paste, earning it a devoted following and tempting guests to come back for seconds.
Don't Miss the Savory Selections, Including Roast Beef and Original Sandwiches
The food menu includes the hotel's signature "Roast Beef" carving service, along with favorites like the "Classic Pork Cutlet Sandwich" and New York-style "Margherita Pizza" baked in the stone oven. You'll also find Hotel New Otani's special sandwiches, including the juicy "Rolled Omelet Sandwich" and "Steak Sandwich" (weekends and holidays only), plus a salad bar, pasta, beef stew, and a wide variety of other dishes to enjoy.
