Fans of Rilakkuma can now enjoy an even sweeter experience at the Hotel New Otani Makuhari collaboration buffet. The popular “Hotel New Otani × Rilakkuma Super Sweets Buffet ~Sunshine Melon, Mango & Honey~” has introduced a new Anniversary Cake Plate service, perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or surprise celebrations.
For those unfamiliar with the character, Rilakkuma is a lazy bear in a costume who lives with a young office worker named Kaoru, along with Korilakkuma and Kiiroitori. No one knows who is actually inside the suit, but Rilakkuma’s main interests are daily meals and snacks — favorites include hotcakes, omurice, pudding, and dango. Another friend, Chairoikoguma, lives in a honey forest.
Anniversary Cake Plate Service
Available at the hotel’s “The Lounge” until June 30, 2026, the new cake plate features a special shortcake made by the chef pâtissier, accompanied by a personalized message plate. It is served directly to the table, making it ideal for commemorative occasions.

The buffet also offers seven exclusive Rilakkuma-themed sweets created by the hotel’s pastry chefs:
- Rilakkuma’s Anko Cream Hotcake
- Rilakkuma’s Happy Mitarashi Dango
- Kiiroitori’s Fluffy Mango Mousse
