Rihga Royal Hotel Hanami Fair

Waseda's Rihga Royal Hotel is jumping on the cherry blossom bandwagon with their own Hanami Fair, which will see the restaurants and bars inside the hotel present limited-edition spring menus for everyone to enjoy. One of the more interesting ones may just be the Hana-Kazari ('flower decoration') set at Chinese restaurant Royal Ryuho, which starts off with a variety of small plates such as sakura shumai dumplings and vinegared pork before moving on to shark fin simmered in soy sauce as the main course. Kaiseki-style Japanese restaurant Naniwa, the Western-style Dining Ferio and the Cellar Bar all offer spring-themed specials as well, so if you're looking for a hearty dose of seasonal delicacies – perhaps after a hanami stroll along the nearby Kanda River – you know where to head.
