In this haute cuisine restaurant (in Japanese kaiseki) there are only 2 menus to choose from - Omakaze or Kyuebey, consisting of 12 or 15 pieces of sushi, salad and miso soup.

GARDEN New Otani The Main's fame comes from its fabulous gardens that provide a totally peaceful experience, despite being located in one of Tokyo's main quarters There is a Japanese garden, a garden of roses and teahouse in the complex of these gardens, with a whole set of fountains that make it magical.
