The Westin Tokyo, a wellness-focused hotel in Meguro-ku, is hosting a seasonal Hot Pot Fair at Japanese Restaurant Mai from January 6 (Tuesday) to February 28 (Saturday), 2026, showcasing winter delicacies perfect for the cold season.
Heartwarming Hot Pot Courses at Japanese Restaurant Mai
During the coldest time of the year, Japanese Restaurant Mai offers four types of hot pot courses that warm both body and soul. The lineup includes fugu (blowfish) hot pot featuring winter's prized ingredient, premium wagyu shabu-shabu, seafood hot pot filled with ocean treasures, and nourishing local chicken mizutaki. Each course is served in private dining rooms and includes seasonal appetizers through to traditional Japanese desserts, showcasing the restaurant's refined techniques and seasonal flavors.
The highlight recommendation is the fugu hot pot course, offering the full winter experience. Guests can enjoy fugu in multiple preparations including sashimi and fugu-chiri (hot pot style). The dish features seasonal vegetables and mushrooms cooked in Mai's signature broth made with Rausu kelp, finished with a choice of rich zosui (rice porridge) or udon noodles that capture the concentrated umami. The quality befits the hotel's reputation.
Other options include the melt-in-your-mouth wagyu shabu-shabu, seafood hot pot incorporating seasonal ingredients like shrimp, scallops, and shirako (cod milt), and the deeply flavorful local chicken mizutaki – a diverse selection of hot pot dishes to warm both body and mind during the cold winter months.
In the serene private dining space, guests can savor authentic Japanese winter flavors while gathering around a warm pot with family or colleagues.
