Hotel Hankyu International Night & Day Christmas Lunch Buffet Brass 500 yen member leisurely plan from 12:00 to 15:00 Last order until 15:30 Stay with a mix of Japanese and Western desserts, with the highest quality in Japanese dishes. Orders are taken via tablet, and although some menu items may not arrive, the service is relatively quick, making it stress-free. The hotel seemed to have increased staff for Christmas, but the quality of the staff did not match that of a hotel, with a few members lacking. On the facility side, there is no restroom on the same floor, and you need to go to the 2nd floor. The insulation structure on the 1st floor is weak, making it easier to let in outside air and feel colder compared to other floors, so it is recommended to dress in easy-to-adjust clothing. The downside is that hot dishes and drinks tend to cool quickly. This time, the seat received direct sunlight after 14:00, so we had to adjust the seating midway. Regarding the food, here is the order in which it was eaten: Vanilla ice cream with tea → Royal milk tea. The ice cream was like lacto ice cream with a slightly crunchy texture. The shrimp piccata with burnt butter-flavored balsamic sauce had a perfectly balanced acidity in the sauce and was delicious. The shrimp dishes, whether Japanese or Western, were all delicious. The smoked salmon and cream cheese roulade was bite-sized and visually appealing. The cream cheese came in different sizes, so we ordered it multiple times to compare the flavors. The roast duck and cauliflower du Barry had strawberries on top as an accent, and the taste was slightly unique. The consomme royale with burdock veloute had a sauce similar to chawanmushi with gobo sauce on top, making it easy to eat like chawanmushi. The beef fillet poêlé with shimeji mushrooms and chestnut ala crème with truffle-flavored sauce was a dish for each person, and although the meat was small, the rich sauce was surprisingly delicious. It's a dish you'd want to eat with bread if it weren't for the buffet. The seafood bouillabaisse had a slightly stronger saltiness than the umami of the seafood, and there were shrimp and squid in small amounts, making it easy to eat. The bone-in chicken fricassée with butter rice had a delicious cream sauce, but we wished there was more of it. The butter rice was lightly seasoned, so it went well with other dishes. The beef stew gratin with cheese had only meat as ingredients, making it a luxurious dish. Unlike the bouillabaisse, the saltiness was just right, and it's a dish you'd want to eat with bread. The fruit coupe with one pineapple and one orange was a perfect chopstick break and was refilled about 10 times. The pineapple didn't disappoint, and everything was delicious. The cheesecake tasting - rare cheese / baked cheese - was a little tricky to choose because the tablet was in the center. The cheese was easy to eat, with just the right amount, and we ordered it about three times. The opera and pistachio had a slightly less pistachio flavor, and when we refilled it, it sometimes became dry, so there was a variation in quality. The domestic beef sukiyaki was mainly flavored with dashi and was a Kanto-style dish that wasn't too heavy, making it possible to eat without eggs or rice. It had a lot of meat, so it's recommended. The tempura of shrimp and vegetables with matcha salt was served freshly fried, with the shrimp being plump and crispy. The lotus root was hard, but the pumpkin was unexpectedly the most delicious. It's recommended to refill because the salt is served in a bag, so be careful not to overdo it. The deep-fried taro with soy meat was fried together with a crispy texture. It was the most recommended dish throughout all the dishes. The outside was crispy, while the inside was creamy, and there were two small pieces in each serving, which we refilled about three times. The crab and mibuna soaked in vinegar was listed as vinegar, but it had a mild acidity and was just the right amount for a chopstick break. The amount was smaller than the photo, making it easy to refill. The seafood chirashi sushi had typical freshness and the right balance of vinegared rice. The chili sauce stir-fried shrimp had a strong spiciness but was easy to eat with a plump texture, making it just right with two pieces, so we refilled it about three times. The Sichuan-style spicy pork with cloud white meat had a lot more pork than in the photo, so be careful. The taste was not too strong, making it easy to eat, and the egg white in the shark fin ramen was a typical ankake ramen, with no repeat. The hot pot of mapo tofu with white jade was a no-repeat.
