The Super Sweets Buffet 2026 "Hotel Strawberry Picking" at the Tea & Cocktail "SATSUKI LOUNGE" in Hotel New Otani Osaka has been selling out every day. In response to this high demand, the venue has decided to extend its weekday hours until 8:00 PM (last entry 6:30 PM) for the limited period of March 16 (Monday) to March 31 (Tuesday).
Extended Hours for March Weekdays — Perfect for an After-Work Treat
This strawberry buffet event has welcomed over 300,000 guests cumulatively and is considered one of the originals of the "strawberry buffet" scene in the Kansai region. The 2026 edition, themed "Falling in Love with 'Hotel Strawberry Picking,'" has seen full bookings every day. To accommodate more guests, weekday operating hours are being extended to 8:00 PM for the month of March. In addition to lunch and tea times, visitors can now enjoy the experience in the evening after work or during the spring break twilight hours.
March Theme: "Jewelry" — Strawberry Sweets That Shine Like Gemstones
The buffet changes its theme monthly. Through March 31 (Tuesday), the theme is "Jewelry," featuring a sparkling lineup of strawberry sweets. Items such as the "Super Melon Shortcake – Radiance of Blue-Green Jade," the "Pistachio Tart – Emerald of New Green," and the "Amaou Strawberry Roll Cake – Pearl Necklace Style" create a dazzling spread reminiscent of opening a jewelry box. The collection is well-suited for White Day gifts or a special treat with someone close.
All-You-Can-Eat Premium Shortcake — Savoring the "Hakata Amaou" Strawberry
The star of the buffet is the "New Super Amaou Strawberry Shortcake," which features generous use of the "Hakata Amaou" — a strawberry known for its large size and well-balanced sweetness and acidity. Also on the menu is the "Strawberry Chocolate Fondue" with its striking pink sauce, the hotel's signature roast beef sandwich, and special pancakes, rounding out an impressive spread of both sweets and savory options.
After a Cherry Blossom Stroll in Osaka Castle Park — A Spring Perfect Pairing
Osaka Castle Park, located just a short walk from the hotel, is one of the Kansai region's most beloved cherry blossom spots, with approximately 3,000 cherry trees in bloom. After taking in the pink scenery against the backdrop of the historic castle keep, guests can head to the hotel lounge to continue enjoying the spring atmosphere.
The extended evening hours mean it is now possible to view the cherry blossoms outside and then savor spring sweets inside the hotel — a combination that makes the most of the venue's prime location.
