Tea & Cocktail "Garden Lounge" at Hotel New Otani (Tokyo) is holding the "Super Sweets Buffet 2026 — Melon, Mango & Peach," a one-month-limited buffet built around melon, mango, and peach, from August 1 (Saturday) to August 31 (Monday), 2026.
Three Shimmering Summer Fruits in a Blissful Limited-Time Buffet
The "Super Sweets Buffet" currently underway at Garden Lounge is presenting a lineup centered on melon, mango, and peach — three fruits that define summer. The lineup brings together desserts made generously with juicy, elegantly sweet, and fragrant peach; refreshingly sweet melon; and melt-in-the-mouth mango. Enjoy this seasonal sweets buffet to the fullest, featuring melon, mango, and peach — fruits also rich in the vitamins and minerals that summer often lacks.
Compare Three Blissful Shortcakes, Starring the New Melon Millefeuille
Hotel New Otani's signature "Super Melon Shortcake" is made using only carefully selected mask melon with a sugar content of 14 degrees or higher. From the star melon to the sponge and fresh cream, every ingredient is carefully chosen, letting guests fully savor the juicy sweetness of mask melon in a light, airy texture. Joining it is the "Mango Shortcake," where fresh cream and sponge bring out the rich sweetness of melt-in-the-mouth ripe mango, along with the "Peach Shortcake," available only during this short season and made with peach prized for its fragrance and juiciness.
Enjoy this season-only tasting comparison of Hotel New Otani's three signature shortcakes, side by side.
Highlights of this one-month-limited buffet include the newly introduced "Melon Millefeuille," a generous sandwich of melon between crisp, fragrantly baked pastry, and the "Mango Cream Puff," filled with mango flesh, mango jelly, and custard cream in choux pastry. Also joining the lineup is the "Peach Roll," wrapping a moist, fluffy roll cake around a specially made kanten jelly infused with the fragrance and juiciness of peach. Beyond these, a colorful array of desserts awaits, including three types of tarts topped with seasonal fruit on crisp tart shells. Enjoy a truly indulgent moment surrounded by the exquisite flavors of seasonal fruit.
Cool, refreshing glass desserts perfect for summer are also plentiful, including the "Melon Jelly," concentrating the rich sweetness of melon, and the "Peach Jelly," layering juicy peach flesh with a peach kudzu sauce that draws out the fruit's natural sweetness. Also available is the "Iwaizumi Yogurt Jelly (Mango)," combining jelly made with Iwaizumi yogurt from Iwate Prefecture with the rich flavor of mango — a luxurious cool treat that captures the pure taste of the season.
17 Original Sandwiches, Traditional Beef Stew, and More Japanese, Western & Chinese Hot Dishes
The hotel chefs' signature sandwiches come in a wide variety of 17 types. These include the ever-popular "Pork Cutlet Sandwich," the "Dashimaki Tamago Sandwich" featuring the hotel's specially rolled omelet accented with the aroma of Hamanako nori and the elegant sweetness of mitarashi sauce, and the "Lemon-Scented Smoked Salmon Sandwich," where the deep flavor of smoked salmon is brightened by refreshing lemon — each a distinctive creation. On weekends only, an indulgent new "Steak Sandwich," rich with meaty flavor, also joins the lineup.
Beyond the sandwiches, the buffet is also rich in Japanese, Western, and Chinese hot dishes that add further variety to the experience. The lineup includes the long-beloved "Hotel's Traditional Beef Stew," piping-hot "Dim Sum," "Sweet and Sour Pork with Colorful Vegetables in Black Vinegar Sauce," and the "Seasonal Takikomi Gohan" that captures the flavor of the season — a diverse menu filled with the passion of the hotel's chefs. Enjoy the ultimate flavors, from classic favorites to distinctive creations, all crafted with skilled technique and carefully selected ingredients.
