New Year’s Buffet at Hotel Metropolitan
Exquisite Japanese, Western, and Chinese Dishes to Celebrate the New Year
Hotel Metropolitan, conveniently located near Ikebukuro Station, will be holding a special "New Year’s Buffet" from January 1st to January 5th, 2025. This buffet offers a luxurious spread of Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine, providing a unique opportunity to indulge in a variety of flavors to welcome the new year.
One of the highlights of the buffet is the "Juicy Roast Beef, Low-Temperature Cooked at 64℃," a signature dish of the hotel’s restaurant "Crossdine." For this special occasion, the roast beef will be prepared using Japanese Wagyu beef, known for its rich flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Guests can watch as this premium roast beef is carved right before their eyes, adding a touch of spectacle to the dining experience.
In addition to the Wagyu roast beef, the buffet will feature an extensive selection of dishes, including "Shark Fin Ramen" and "Nigirizushi," along with a wide array of other Japanese, Western, and Chinese delicacies. A dessert selection will also be available, ensuring a sweet ending to your meal. This diverse menu caters to a wide range of palates, making it an ideal choice for families and groups with varying preferences.
Compared to a similar New Year’s buffet held at the same hotel in 2024, the price for adults has increased by ¥500 for lunch and ¥700 for dinner. Despite this increase, the inclusion of Wagyu beef in the signature roast beef dish represents a significant upgrade in quality, justifying the price adjustment.
