About this event

A quarrel between Maruko and her older sister over a notebook decorated with a tuna can, from the manga's first volume, has inspired a dish of tuna and jellyfish salad. Celebrating 40 years of the original Chibi Maruko-chan manga, this hotel collaboration turns familiar stories and characters' favorite foods into Chinese dishes and desserts. Afternoon tea includes gold-leaf-topped xiaolongbao, fried shrimp with chili sauce, and braised pork with chestnuts and autumn mushrooms inspired by Hanawa-kun. Desserts include a 40th-anniversary macaron and Taiwanese castella cake stamped with Maruko's image. On weekday evenings, high tea adds tarako fried rice with shiso, inspired by Noguchi-san's favorite food. The bakery also sells blue and pink flower-shaped buns featuring Maruko and Tama-chan. Limited-edition stickers are available with qualifying purchases.

Summarized from the official page and press materials.

When did Chibi Maruko-chan begin, and who created it?

Momoko Sakura, creator of Chibi Maruko-chan, was born on May 8, 1965, in Shimizu, Shizuoka Prefecture, now part of Shizuoka City. She debuted as a manga artist in 1984 with Oshiete Yarunda Arigataku Omoe!, published in Ribon Original. In the August 1986 issue of the girls' manga magazine Ribon, she began serializing Chibi Maruko-chan.

The story is set in Shimizu, Sakura's hometown. It follows Maruko, a third-grade elementary school student, through everyday life with family and friends, mixing humor with occasional sadness. Homework and arguments with her sister become stories in their own right. The hotel's tuna-and-jellyfish dish references one such quarrel over a tuna-can notebook from the first volume.

In 1989, Chibi Maruko-chan received the 13th Kodansha Manga Award. Its television anime began in 1990, and the ending song Odoru Pompokolin, with lyrics by Sakura, won an award in the pop and rock category of the Japan Record Awards. Her first essay collection, Momo no Kanzume, became a bestseller in 1991, marking her expanding creative work beyond manga.

The collaboration menu features Maruko's favorite fried shrimp, a gold-leaf dish inspired by Hanawa-kun, and tarako inspired by Noguchi-san. Rather than simply decorating food with characters, it turns small episodes from the original manga into dishes. That is why the story behind the tuna and jellyfish salad deserves a closer look.
