Save a Thursday evening for strawberries: Yokohama Bay Hotel Tokyu’s 2027 buffet and its separate booking plans
On selected Thursdays from January 7 to April 22, 2027, Yokohama Bay Hotel Tokyu pairs strawberry desserts with roast beef and pasta. Restaurant reservations open by month, while the hotel package has a separate opening date and room limit.
If you want to reserve an evening of a Yokohama trip for desserts, Sweet Journey Strawberry is an option to plan for in 2027. Yokohama Bay Hotel Tokyu will hold the buffet at its second-floor Cafe Tosca on selected Thursdays from January 7 to April 22, with a selection of fresh strawberries and hot dishes. It runs on weekday Thursdays only, excluding February 11 and 18, rather than every day throughout those months.
The format extends from desserts into dinner: shortcake, a clear strawberry terrine and millefeuille sit alongside roast beef, pasta and curry. Restaurant-only reservations and a stay package including the buffet open at different times. The useful distinction is which option you want to book, rather than treating next year’s event as a meal already available today.
A clear strawberry terrine beside layers of cake and cream
The strawberry terrine encloses fruit in translucent jelly, leaving the strawberries visible through the cut surface. Closely arranged red fruit creates varying shades in the light. Photographs establish appearance and presentation, but cannot substitute for tasting or establish sweetness. A long strawberry shortcake has two rows of berries against white cream, with cake and filling layers visible at the side.

Other sample desserts include strawberry charlotte, Napoleon millefeuille, Mont Blanc and pudding, plus a tasting area with several fresh strawberry varieties. The material reviewed does not specify the exact cultivars or daily quantities, so origins and guaranteed varieties should not be invented. Anyone visiting for a particular item should confirm the day’s menu and dietary requirements when booking.
Roast beef and carbonara make room for a full dinner
The savoury selection includes roast beef, carbonara finished with Parmigiano Reggiano, the day’s oven-baked pizza, Tosca’s onion curry, soup of the day and Maison Kayser breads. For a gathering intended to double as dinner, these options help assess the format beyond the dessert photographs. Without tasting the food, however, dish names are not a basis for promising texture or how filling the meal will be.
Cafe Tosca’s large windows look towards the illuminated Ferris wheel, but the reviewed restaurant-only offer does not promise a window table for every guest. Coffee, tea, orange juice and other listed soft drinks are included. Free-flow wine and sparkling wine belong to a separate JPY 9,980 adult plan; alcoholic drinks should not be described as included in every option.
Restaurant booking opens by month from December; the stay package opens in November
The basic adult price is JPY 7,980 for 120 minutes. The unlimited-time option is JPY 8,980, and the wine-and-sparkling-wine free-flow option is JPY 9,980.

January dates open on December 1, 2026 at 10 a.m. Japan time; February, March and April dates open at the same time on January 1, February 1 and March 1, 2027 respectively.

It includes an unlimited-time buffet, specified free-flow drinks and a guaranteed window seat, with prices varying by date. A sample room has a balcony, but balcony-free rooms also exist, so a balcony is not universal. Confirm actual availability.
