About this event

A Christmas-only buffet of Japanese, Western and Chinese dishes at an Ikebukuro hotel's all-day dining restaurant. Roast chicken with cranberry sauce, slow-cooked roast beef and chef-finished Tokyo vegetable and lamb shabu-shabu are joined by Bûche de Noël and Christmas shortcake. Dinner adds nigiri sushi and a freshly piped pistachio Mont Blanc. With prices for seniors and small children, it seems a good choice for a three-generation Christmas meal.
