On February 1, 2022, I visited "Hotel New Otani Osaka" after learning that they had started a collaboration project with the anime "Demon Slayer" at 6 hotels nationwide. Although I decided not to stay overnight in a special "Demon Slayer" themed room due to it being near my home, I did reserve a dinner at the 3rd-floor dining area "River Terrace" to enjoy the original menu inspired by the anime. The restaurant offered a special collaboration drink coaster when ordering a drink, and limited edition novelty chopsticks and placemat for restaurant guests. The atmosphere was immersive, with figures of characters like Tanjiro and Nezuko decorating the space. The dinner menu included dishes like Nezuko's assorted appetizers, elegant shark fin soup, and flavorful stir-fried prawns inspired by the Flame Hashira. Each dish was creatively presented to reflect the characters and themes of "Demon Slayer." The dining experience was enjoyable, and the food was delicious, making it a memorable evening.

It was a midsummer commemorative ceremony. I attended a large party with nearly 1000 people for the first time in a while. Finally, it was time to have lunch. With a toast, I chugged a cold beer. The food was served in line with the celebration at Hotel New Otani. Starting with classic pâté, the celebration sea bream escalope and mussels were delicious. The beef tenderloin blanquette with red wine sauce was also tasty. After laughing and chatting for nearly 2 hours, it was time for dessert. Next, we will have a second party on the 18th floor of this hotel. It seems like the end is far away. Thank you for the meal!

There was no main dish! There were no steaks or sushi. However, each dish seemed to be carefully made. There was a lot of carbohydrates like ham, pasta, sandwiches, and sushi rolls. The pasta was delicious as it was made right in front of you. The cakes were also delicious with a wide variety. Overall, it seemed like there was not enough food, as I saw people coming back to their seats without being able to find anything to eat in the latter part of the meal. It seems like they couldn't satisfy everyone's hunger. I, too, went to get some cake and found that all the cakes were already gone, so I sadly joined the person leaving empty-handed.

Classic cuisine with a Port wine finish, served with rustic vegetable and bacon soup pie, wrapped in pastry. Homemade oven-baked bread with butter. A gift from the sea and land, featuring red sea bream and scallops in papillote, infused with the aroma of sansho pepper and tarragon. A steak with seasonal vegetables, enhanced with a rich jus and accents of burnt butter. Accompanied by a strawberry sorbet and milk gelato marble, garnished with a red fruit coulis. Served with hot coffee.

Solo morning buffet. It is divided into Western and Japanese food zones. There are overwhelmingly many foreign customers! Perhaps because of that, the Japanese food zone has a very Japanese feel! Isn't that nice! It has a subtle, somewhat delicate feeling... haha. The made-to-order omelets are available, and I was thrilled to find egg white omelets! I asked for all the toppings. Thank you for the meal (^ ^)

I posted a review of the breakfast I had through room service. You can choose between crispy or soft bacon. The orange juice is pure straight type with pulp. I ordered both Danish bread and regular toast & croissant. The omelette and side dishes on the main plate were delicious with good seasoning. As for the Danish bread, there were two types: pain au chocolat and custard-filled, both were heavy and lacked a crispy texture, which may not be suitable for breakfast in my opinion.

Hotel New Otani Osaka, I went to the Ichigo Fair buffet at the Satsuki Lounge. It was mostly female customers, as expected since women are very sensitive to information. The buffet was very good with a wide variety of strawberry sweets. There were also pork cutlet sandwiches, curry, and mini burgers made with soybeans as palate cleansers, all of which were delicious. After indulging in sweets, I took a break with sandwiches and curry. Then I challenged the sweets again and enjoyed it for 90 minutes. The Mont Blanc dessert was visually appealing and delicious. Also, the pork cutlet sandwich was very tasty. There were many types of tea in addition to coffee, which was also enjoyable. It's no wonder this is a popular fair.

I was invited to a dinner show at this hotel by someone I am very grateful to. It was a full house, probably because a big celebrity was performing. It was the first time I had seen such a large gathering since the coronavirus outbreak. We started dinner a little late at 6:30, but once we were seated, the food was served shortly after, so maybe it was good that we were late. The dishes served were pate en croute, garden-style bouillabaisse pie, pan-fried domestic beef fillet, and wine-red sherbet. Since the main focus was the dinner show, the impression of the food was not very strong, but each dish was delicious in its own way. Especially the bouillabaisse pie with its rich seafood soup was excellent. The dinner show itself was performed by someone who was not good at talking, so it was a 70-minute medley of famous songs with no MC. The audience was really into it! Thank you for the invitation. Merry Christmas! Currently, the restaurant has a rating of 3.26 on Tabelog.

I attended a party with 600 people at Hotel New Otani in Osaka. The dishes were delicious, including terrine of lobster and seasonal vegetables with sea urchin sauce, clam chowder in a pie crust, and more. What amazed me was the high quality of the food being served to 600 people simultaneously and still being warm. The power of New Otani is truly impressive.

When staying in Osaka, I always choose a hotel along the Midosuji Line, between Umeda and Namba. The New Otani Osaka in Osaka Castle Park has over 500 rooms, making it a large hotel. However, as someone who doesn't prefer big hotels, both in terms of location and size, it didn't fall into my choice of hotels. This time, while searching for a hotel to stay in Osaka online, I came across a promotional rate for this hotel. It was an attractive rate of 27,000 yen for two people, including breakfast, for a 60m² Junior Suite with a view of Osaka Castle. This may be a limited time offer. We stayed during the Obon period, and the lobby was quite crowded. However, there were plenty of staff, and the service was solid. Room 1424, where we stayed, was a Junior Suite, 60m² in size. It was a spacious room, more like a suite than a Junior Suite. It was divided into a living room and a bedroom. The living room had a large TV, sofa, table, desk, and more. It could easily pass as a room costing 60,000 to 70,000 yen. The view from the room was amazing - Osaka Castle and Osaka Castle Park, with beautiful greenery and high-rise buildings in the background. The night view was also fantastic. The bathroom had a shower area, which I liked, and the interior design was nice. The washroom was spacious, perfect for placing many items. Guests staying in suites like this at this hotel receive Gold Key service, with many perks such as welcome drink service, morning coffee service, shoe shining service, early morning free access to the fitness club, and a complimentary drink at the 18th-floor bar, among others. The stay in this room was excellent. The spacious room made it so comfortable that we felt lazy to go out. As a result, our plan to go out for okonomiyaki in town was suddenly canceled, and we ended up ordering room service in the room. I ordered a mixed sandwich. Ordering room service in a hotel room makes you feel like you are truly enjoying hotel life. If this room can be stayed in at this rate, I would definitely want to stay again.

It was my first time in a while at Hotel New Otani. I have used their sweets buffet a few times, but this time it was a buffet in a large banquet hall, which allowed for a leisurely experience, but the atmosphere was not quite there due to the size of the space. It felt like I was just focused on eating. However, this time, I went to the buffet at the Main Lounge Satsuki. The atmosphere was great, right in the center of the hotel. The buffet, named "Super Sweets Buffet 2022 - Peach, Mango, Melon," had plenty of mini versions of super shortcakes. The melon shortcake was the most delicious. Their famous pancakes were fluffy and satisfying. With over 10 types of cakes, jellies, and of course, New Otani's famous flavors, everything was delicious. Sushi, curry, moussaka, katsu sandwich, and other meal items were also delicious as expected from a hotel. The service staff were friendly and efficient, as expected from a hotel. This buffet is not a self-serve type, but rather you tell the staff what you want and they serve it to you. This way, the food is neatly presented, and you don't end up taking more than you need. I would like to visit again when the menu changes, but there are so many hotel buffets I want to try, so I wonder when I will come back to New Otani. But I was very satisfied with my experience.

I arrived around 4:30 PM for work without breakfast or lunch, so I ordered a pork cutlet bowl through room service. I didn't have high expectations since I had never had a good experience with room service before. The knock on the door came quickly within 15 minutes, and I was surprised by how fast it was. The pork cutlet was piping hot with a crisp and spicy seasoning. Although the egg was a bit overcooked, the hot temperature of the dish was impressive for room service. It was much better than eating at a random restaurant while watching the time. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

There was a party at Hotel New Otani Osaka. 300 people attended and it was packed. I thought we would have a full course meal, but before it started, boxed lunches were placed on the tables! From there, we had takikomi gohan (seasoned rice) and soup, and finally fruit. I wonder if this was because of the COVID-19 situation...

To celebrate a special day, I splurged a bit on the room service plan at Hotel New Otani Osaka. While overlooking Osaka Castle, I enjoyed a delicious meal in the comfort of my room. The menu included: - Traditional consommé soup - Beef sirloin tagliata (150g) or Chef's recommended fish of the day - Seasonal salad - Bread or rice - Super melon shortcake - Coffee or tea The soup was packed with the rich flavor of beef, a real treat! The salad had crisp vegetables with a light dressing. The main course of beef was cooked medium rare and pre-sliced for easy eating, complemented by the provided black pepper. The dessert was a luxurious shortcake made with Shizuoka-grown musk melon with a sugar content of over 14 degrees. Layers of melon made it a truly decadent treat. I later found out that just one slice of this cake costs around 4000 yen! Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I visited the Matcha, Melon, and Chocolate dessert buffet from May 12th (Thursday) to June 30th (Thursday). It featured a luxurious lineup of top-notch sweets with matcha, melon, and chocolate. My recommendation is the Super Melon Shortcake made with melon with a sugar content of 14 degrees or more from Shizuoka, elegant shanty, and fluffy sponge cake. It is incredibly delicious. The Matcha Tiramisu, a collaboration with Tsujiri, is also delicious with a subtle matcha flavor and smooth texture. The Pure Melon Jelly has a refined sweetness and a clear, delicious taste. The Pancakes with plenty of meringue are my favorite. The Hotel-made Beef Shank Tomato Curry is packed with the deliciousness of mild tomato. The Chinese-style Tortilla Wrap Sandwich with crunchy vegetables and flavorful Chinese-style chicken was also very tasty. Coffee and tea are free-flowing, and the "Rooibos Fruit & Herb" with a refreshing citrus flavor is recommended. I won the Matcha, Melon, and Chocolate posting campaign and was invited by Hotel New Otani Osaka. I had an elegant tea time with delicious sweets and wonderful meals. Thank you very much.

I went to the Hotel New Otani Osaka Super Sweets Buffet 2022 - Matcha, Melon, and Chocolate - and tried the new series of sweets buffet featuring matcha, melon, and chocolate. They welcomed me with a variety of matcha, melon, and chocolate sweets. It's a very luxurious sweets buffet. My recommendations are the "Super Melon Shortcake" made with Shizuoka melon with a sugar content of 14 degrees or more, and the "Matcha Tiramisu" which has a smooth texture and a hint of bitterness from the matcha. The Hotel New Otani's special pancakes are incredibly fluffy. The Pork Cutlet Sandwich and Chinese-style Tortilla Wrap Sandwich are also delicious. I also tried the Beef Tendon Tomato Curry, which was full of flavor. Coffee and tea are free-flowing, and I enjoyed the Rooibos Fruit & Herb tea. Don't forget to take photos and videos with the original AR art. I indulged in matcha, melon, and chocolate sweets as well as gourmet dishes prepared by the hotel's chef. The Matcha, Melon, and Chocolate buffet is available from 5/12 to 6/30 at Hotel New Otani Osaka, located a 5-minute walk from Osaka Business Park Station.

Hotel New Otani Osaka "Demon Slayer" Restaurant - Oni no Konai Chinese Cuisine Restaurant I enjoyed the world of Demon Slayer through dishes inspired by characters from the anime. Here are some highlights from the menu: 1. Nezuko's Bamboo Platter Appetizer Assortment The bamboo-plated appetizer, inspired by Nezuko's cuteness, is my favorite with its beautiful presentation. 2. Stir-fried Jumbo Shrimp "Hinokami Kagura" Dance The black bean stir-fried jumbo shrimp, inspired by Tanjiro, is delicious with a salty taste and a nice texture. The dish is beautifully presented with Tanjiro's haori pattern using spinach and sweet bean sauce. 3. Crab Omelette "Zenitsu's Haori Style" The crab omelette with matsutake mushroom topping is designed to resemble Zenitsu's haori pattern. 4. Flashy! Fried Chicken Nuggets The stylish fried chicken nuggets, inspired by Tengen, are beautifully presented. 5. Flame Breathing - First Form "Unknowing Fire" Fried Rice The beef sauce-covered fried rice with a decorative cut resembling Rengoku is a delicate and artistic masterpiece. 6.

Special novelty items for diners: - Luncheon Mat - Original Chopsticks & Chopstick Bag Set "Demon Slayer" Restaurant - Oni no Konai Chinese Cuisine Restaurant Hotel New Otani Osaka 1-4-1 Shiromi, Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Osaka 5-minute walk from Osaka Business Park Station

I heard that they were collaborating with Demon Slayer at this restaurant, so I decided to check it out. Unfortunately, there was no collaboration with the buffet in Osaka. It was my first time at a strawberry buffet in Osaka and I had a good time. They didn't have roast beef, but they had pancakes which I enjoyed. The system was to tell the staff what you wanted and they would serve it to you, but there was no clear line to follow. I waited in front of the showcase but wasn't noticed, and people who came later and spoke up got served first, which was a bit disappointing. It felt like a system of "the one who speaks up first gets served first." It would be helpful if they had a clear line to follow. Overall, I was satisfied with the food. I would like to go back again if I have the chance.

I had been looking forward to the strawberry picking at the hotel for a long time. They had famous desserts like the "New Super Amaou Shortcake" and "Napoleon Pie" lined up, which made me excited just by looking at them. Due to infection prevention measures, the staff served the desserts, and there were over 20 varieties to choose from. We couldn't decide, so we ended up ordering all of them for two people. My recommendation is the Sweets Fresh Strawberry. This time, it was an all-you-can-eat of the "Kotohane" with a strong sweetness. The hotel-quality fresh strawberries were really delicious. The original parfait with a flower theme, "Glass Rose," had lychee and strawberry jelly roses topping strawberry soft serve with flower petals and small marshmallows. The gentle sweetness was a special deliciousness. They finish it right in front of you. The Super Amaou Shortcake, which used to be 1,200 yen per slice, is now available in mini size. The fluffy and elegant sponge matched perfectly with the sweetness of "Amaou," creating a blissful deliciousness. I really wanted to eat this. The Napoleon Pie is wrapped in a crispy pie crust and special custard cream with Amaou. The luxurious deliciousness is my favorite. The classic sweets are delicious, which is the charm of Hotel New Otani. The Hotel New Otani's special pancake, which melts in your mouth, is a delight to have freshly baked. "The secret to its fluffiness is that it contains meringue." It's really delicious when topped with amber syrup! Savory dishes like Oiling Chicken with a perfect balance of sweetness and sourness are luxuriously delicious. Chinese food is also delicious. The Korean-style grilled meat Namul Dog is incredibly delicious, with the sweet and spicy grilled meat and Namul complementing each other perfectly. The Dashi Rolled Egg Sandwich with the hotel-made fluffy Dashi rolled egg is too delicious. Coffee and tea are free-flowing! The fragrant Berry Rouge is recommended.

I found out that there was a collaboration event for Demon Slayer at Hotel New Otani from January to March 2022, so I decided to do a sneak peek report. I visited the "Demon Slayer" restaurant called "Oni no Konai Chugoku Ryoriten" at Hotel New Otani Osaka in February. The restaurant was filled with Demon Slayer fans, but I didn't feel out of place. We ordered original soft drink cocktails named after characters from the series. The dinner menu included various dishes inspired by Demon Slayer characters. The food was delicious, and the staff provided excellent service. Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable experience.

Every year, I look forward to "Strawberry Picking at the Hotel." Famous "New Super Amaou Shortcake" and "Napoleon Pie" are all-you-can-eat! There are over 20 types of sweets to choose from, and we couldn't decide, so my friend and I tried them all! ★Sweets☆ Fresh Strawberries On this day, we enjoyed the all-you-can-eat at "Kotohana."
