I went to the "SATUKI Lounge" at Hotel New Otani in Chuo Ward, Osaka, where they are holding a "Strawberry Picking at the Hotel" event. This event is taking place until March 31, 2023. The highlight of the event is the super popular Super Sweets & Cuisine Buffet featuring an abundance of Amaou strawberries. The desserts include new Super Amaou Shortcake, Amaou Jelly, Amaou Eclair, and more, all made with strict attention to the ingredients and origin, enhanced with the aroma and flavor of Amaou strawberries. The Ricotta Cheese Pancakes, cooked right in front of you, were also a delightful experience with a light and milky sweet taste. In addition to the sweets, the savory dishes were also impressive, with dishes like Beef Stew made with Black Wagyu beef and a unique New Tokyo Soy Meat Burger. The buffet offered a perfect balance of sweet and savory dishes that were simply irresistible. It had been 10 years since my last visit to the strawberry buffet at Hotel New Otani, and the staff were surprised to hear that. They provided detailed explanations on how to enjoy the buffet, and the COVID-19 prevention measures were well in place, with staff serving the food from the showcases and promptly replacing empty plates and glasses. Overall, it was a blissful experience to enjoy the Strawberry Buffet at the hotel after a decade, with a comfortable dining environment and attentive service. [Event Details] - 90-minute sessions Weekdays: 11:30-18:00 (Last entry at 16:30) Weekends and holidays: 11:30-19:30 (Last entry at 18:00) Cost: ¥6,200 (weekdays), ¥6,800 (weekends and holidays)

I look forward to the sweet potato and chestnut buffet at Hotel New Otani's Satsuki Lounge every year. This year marks the third time, and there are about 26 types of sweets! From chestnut shortcake, chestnut mille-feuille, chestnut and cassis terrine, to chestnut roll cake, sweet potato cream puffs, sweet potato scones, sweet potato Basque cheesecake, and pumpkin pudding - the variety is amazing. There's even a Mont Blanc where they squeeze the cream right in front of you! The cream in each one is delicate and rich in flavor. The ice cream, whipped cream, crumble, and meringue at the bottom provide a nice touch. My favorite every year is the mille-feuille - the crispy pie, creamy custard, and large chestnuts on top and inside are just too good. I always go for seconds. For autumn flavors, there's grape parfait and Shine Muscat tart. New Otani also offers a variety of savory dishes like sandwiches, pasta, and sushi, all of which are delicious. You can easily switch between sweet and savory, making it a great experience. I always end up eating too much, but it's worth it. This year was amazing once again. I highly recommend making a reservation and trying it out.

Hotel New Otani Osaka Super Sweets Buffet 2023 ~ Mango, Melon, Peach ~ My recommendation is the Sweet Shortcake tasting! I always look forward to the shortcake! The sponge melts in your mouth! I love all the varieties, but the "Super Melon Shortcake" is my favorite. Freshly squeezed Mont Blanc A luxurious Mont Blanc squeezed right in front of you! It's incredibly delicious and makes me happy ❤️ Pure Melon Jelly Smooth jelly with plenty of fruit pulp! It was so delicious that I had two! New Otani special pancake I love the fluffy pancakes. It's great that you can have them freshly baked. Savory New Tokyo Soy Meat Burger I was surprised by the quality that is just as good as beef! The bread is also very delicious. SATSUKI Lounge Curry Mango and sliced almonds on top! The refreshing sweetness added was really delicious. Coffee and tea are free-flowing! I recommend the passion peach with a fruity aroma ❤️

I decided to have lunch at Hotel New Otani Osaka before heading to Osaka Castle Hall to watch Disney on Ice in the afternoon. I made a reservation at this restaurant online for the 6,800 yen sweets buffet. Although Hotel New Otani Osaka itself is an old-fashioned hotel, the lounge where this restaurant is located has comfortable seating, so I have no complaints. I started with chirashi sushi and dashimaki tamago sandwich. The chirashi sushi had a strange medicinal flavor and wasn't very tasty. The sandwiches, on the other hand, were delicious. The pasta wasn't very good, so I quickly moved on to the sweets. However, I couldn't help but wonder if it was okay to enjoy sweet treats like this while still taking medication for diabetes. I found the Mont Blanc dessert to be delicious, with a distinct chestnut flavor. Even when trying Mont Blanc from expensive famous shops, it's rare to taste the chestnut flavor so clearly. Since it was a sweets buffet, all the desserts were reasonably tasty. Some were a bit too sweet, but overall, they were good. I was surprised that the drinks were well-prepared. The mixed fruit juice was not too sweet, and the herbal Rooibos tea was also delicious. I ended the meal by having more ice cream and Mont Blanc, thoroughly enjoying the 90 minutes. I will visit again. It may seem strange to see an old man enjoying a sweets buffet, but please forgive me.

I went to try the mango and melon super shortcake that I was craving! All the other sweets were delicious too, and the savory dishes like chirashi sushi and rolled sushi were great for a little break. The pork cutlet sandwich was soft and tasty. The Mont Blanc was a bit too sweet for me to finish, but it was even tastier than the last time I had it, which was impressive! The service was also excellent. They were very kind and helpful when we had a small issue.

On the last day of the 3-day weekend, while I couldn't get a reservation at other hotels' buffets, I was able to get one here. I considered ordering à la carte after seeing the menu, but there weren't many options, so I went with the buffet. It was priced at 7,400 yen, which was quite expensive. However, overall, it was just okay for me. The roast beef was delicious, and having the same cakes as the neighboring restaurant was a nice touch. Trying to get your money's worth at a buffet or thinking that you could have had a better course meal for the same price is not a good mindset. Thank you for the meal.

The atrium lounge right inside Hotel New Otani is stylish and cute with a high ceiling. They have a wide variety of strawberry sweets, all of which are subtly sweet and elegant, each with its own unique taste making it enjoyable. There were so many options that we couldn't try them all. They also had savory dishes with a salty kick, so you could switch between sweet and savory, which was great. Even my friend, who was a bit hesitant about too many sweet treats, was satisfied. The highlight was definitely the pancakes, delicious as expected from New Otani. The staff service was also excellent, making the buffet experience enjoyable from start to finish.

I finally got to go to the strawberry buffet I've been wanting to try☆☆☆ There were also rice dishes, so I ate until I was full (๑◕ˇڡˇ◕๑) The portions were generous, with plenty of strawberries to satisfy me! The staff mostly served the food, so it was nicely arranged☆ The strawberry shortcake, milk crepe, and pudding were just the right amount of sweetness, fluffy and smooth, and delicious☆☆ The strawberry Mont Blanc was too sweet, which was disappointing... And 90 minutes wasn't enough time... I wanted to eat more slowly. The price is high at 6,800 yen, so I want to go on a slightly cheaper weekday next time!

It is a cafe restaurant on the first floor of Hotel New Otani. Lunch is buffet style. I think you choose pasta or a main dish, and then there is a buffet for salad, soup, bread, and sweets. Everything was delicious! ^_^

It's a strawberry picking and strawberry sweets buffet at the hotel. The strawberry desserts are plentiful and made by the hotel's pastry chef, so they are of high quality and delicious. There are also other dishes available such as pork cutlet sandwiches, tamagoyaki, chirashi sushi, spaghetti, curry, soup, in addition to desserts. The Strawberry Chocolat ice tea was also delicious. However, it would be nice to have some savory items like ochazuke or rice crackers as well.

I visited the "Strawberry Picking at the Hotel" event at SATSUKI LOUNGE in Hotel New Otani Osaka this year. Despite being busy with work due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I finally had some time to relax and enjoy the buffet. The event was popular as always, and I went with a friend who loves sweets. The strawberries and strawberry sweets were beautifully displayed, and we set a goal to try all the strawberry and sweet treats. We chatted and enjoyed the delicious sweets and ice cream, ending up completely full. Sweet treats really do make people happy. Personally, I loved the simple strawberry shortcake the most this year. It was a fun and delicious experience once again. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

At the end of the year, I went to eat something luxurious with my best friend! We rarely get off at Osaka Business Park Station, so we got a little lost haha. We reserved a lunch buffet with a choice of main dishes ^ - ^ The desserts and the main dish, Keema curry pita sandwich, were too delicious ( ^ω^ )

Patisserie Satsuki's Super Melon Short has been renewed. I finally got to eat it after it was featured on TV and often sold out. It's incredibly delicious, so I hope everyone tries it at least once. I aim to have it once a year myself. (laughs)

◆Report: Tried the "Super Mont Blanc" at "Hotel New Otani Patisserie SATSUKI"◆Menu: Super Mont Blanc ¥3780◆Impressions: Today's gourmet adventure took me to Patisserie SATSUKI at Hotel New Otani in Osaka! This time, I tried their Super Mont Blanc. At ¥3780, you might wonder how many regular Mont Blancs you could get for that price, but trust me, this is worth it! Built on a base of "soy milk-infused Basque cake," this luxurious treat layers bitter caramel cream, fragrant matcha ganache, and black honey sweet bean paste, all covered in a decadent chestnut paste. The soy milk-infused Basque cake base is moist, light, and perfectly balanced in sweetness and freshness. The chestnut paste is incredibly rich in chestnut flavor, unlike any other Mont Blanc I've tried. It feels like you're eating chestnuts directly! Inside, you'll find bitter caramel cream, fragrant matcha ganache, and sweet black honey sweet bean paste, all complementing the chestnut paste beautifully. Made with rare Japanese chestnuts, this Super Mont Blanc is a limited-time treat, so don't miss out! ✨

Here it comes again this year! I was looking forward to it so much since it was announced last year because I liked it so much that I repeated it. The "3 kinds of Mont Blanc dessert with sweet potato, chestnut, and pumpkin" was even more amazing than I thought, with different creams and even different bases for each. There are also other sweets using sweet potato, chestnut, and pumpkin, such as chestnut shortcake, chestnut mille-feuille, sweet potato cupcake, caramel chestnut mousse, pumpkin opera, sweet potato Basque cheesecake, pumpkin pudding, chestnut tiramisu, etc. There are over 20 different kinds in total! The parfaits made to order and sweets using grapes and muscat grapes are also available, all of which are delicious and make you want more even though you're already full. The meal options like pork cutlet sandwich, oil-drizzled chicken, and inari sushi are also satisfying, which is another great point. I always think that the buffet at Hotel New Otani is really high quality, especially this sweet potato, chestnut, and pumpkin dessert was the best again this year. The period is until November 30th! It will be Halloween-themed from October, which is also interesting. Check it out, everyone!

I visited this place after making a reservation for the first time in 4 years during the weekday 11:30 am slot. The price was 6,000 yen on weekdays and 6,500 yen on weekends and holidays. The reservation is in 30-minute increments, so you can take your time compared to before. The sweets, dishes, and drinks are all served by the staff. The Exotic Tiramisu with mango and passion fruit had a sour taste, which I liked. The Peach Parfait with white peach was also good. In the past, there used to be peach compote in the shortcake, allowing you to taste only the peach directly (although it wasn't fresh peach...). But this time, there was nothing elaborate and the variety of food items decreased while the price went up, giving the impression of lower quality overall. The selection was limited, nothing really stood out, the presentation was average, and the service was not great. At 6,000 yen for this kind of experience, the cost performance is quite poor. Thank you for the meal.

♡ Chocolate Chiffon Cake ¥1,750 (comes with a drink ☕️) I've been obsessed with chiffon cakes lately! It was my first time ordering this, and the fluffy cake paired with the light cream was delicious (｡・﹃・｡)♡ It goes perfectly with a café latte (*ˊ˘ˋ*)♡ I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I could get a free refill on my iced café latte! It made me so happy‪( ;ᯅ; )‬ I wonder if this offer is only available on weekdays...? I usually have a busy schedule, but today I was able to relax and enjoy myself. The café is spacious and the staff provides excellent service. I always feel comfortable when I visit. This is definitely my favorite spot to go to.
