Head to the Garden Lounge at the Hotel New Otani Tokyo until Nov. 30 and tuck into the restaurant's lunch sandwich and dessert buffet, where autumnal ingredients such as chestnuts and grapes play a starring role.
Overlooking the hotel's Japanese garden, this event is a feast for the eyes, as well as tantalizing for diners' taste buds. Menu items run the gamut from savory to sweet. Dainty smoked salmon sandwiches, pasta of the day, a rich pork pastrami eggs Benedict and a hearty beef stew round out the former.
Diners should save room for the latter — delectable desserts — where perfectly sized morsels include indulgent jellies, scrumptious shortcake, a superb Mont Blanc carefully prepared using choice Japanese chestnuts, a grape sherbet and a mighty marron tart.
