Occupying the top six floors of the monumental Otemachi Tower, Aman Tokyo echoes the city’s synergy between history and modernity. Throughout the property, design features pay homage to Japanese tradition and its unique culture of hospitality – from the rock and water garden in the Lobby to washi paper doors and furo soaking tubs in the rooms. Guests are invited to enjoy daily breakfast at Arva, which, with its views over the Imperian Gardens and across to Mount Fuji, provides an unparalleled urban backdrop and an inspiring start to the day. The traditional Japanese breakfast still stands as one of the best ways of starting the morning, because of its ingredients. Japanese people feel very strongly about having a healthy breakfast to start the day off. Hence, their philosophy is to never eat anything for breakfast that you would not eat for dinner. Choose green tea or roasted tea, Nagano steamd rice or congee, a type of rice porridge. The full traditional breakfast comes with marinated seasonal vegetables, sweetened vinegar dish, Japanese rolled omelette, grated radish, baked seasonal fish, miso soup, Japanese pickles and seasonal fruit. However if you are not into new flavours, you can mix & match your own breakfast: American breakfast set, wide selection of juices and smoothies, yoghurt, cereals, scramble eggs or classic egg benedict.
