Kyochika's take

A full Christmas course at the New Grand, with Yokohama's harbor night view and candlelight.

At Le Normandie on the 5th floor of the Tower Building. Dinner features sea urchin, soft-shelled turtle and king crab; lunch features seafood terrine and guinea fowl ballotine.

Seems good for anniversaries. The lunch course starts from ¥12,000, and you can see the harbor in daylight.

Why was Hotel New Grand built in Yokohama?

The Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 devastated Yokohama's hotel district. To restore accommodation befitting Japan's international gateway, Mayor Chuichi Ariyoshi submitted plans for a new hotel to the city council. Its name was chosen through a public competition, and Hotel New Grand opened on December 1, 1927.

The original building was designed by Jin Watanabe, the architect also known for Ginza Wako. Famous guests have included Charlie Chaplin, Babe Ruth, and General Douglas MacArthur. In 1992, the building was designated a Yokohama City Historic Building. Its first head chef, Swiss-born Saly Weil, introduced French cuisine and a more flexible style of hotel dining. Doria, Napolitan spaghetti, and pudding à la mode also originated in the hotel's kitchens.

Today, Le Normandie carries on this culinary heritage with French dining overlooking Yokohama Harbor. What began as part of the city's post-earthquake recovery remains connected to its food culture. Look beyond the Christmas dishes to the harbor outside the windows.
