Boost your luck with a lucky hotpot and wool pillow. New Year's special at Grand Hyatt Tokyo

Dec 22, 2014

The luxury hotel Grand Hyatt Tokyo in Roppongi is offering a "Sleep with the Sheep!" accommodation plan celebrating the Year of the Sheep. The plan runs from January 4 to March 31, 2015. Each room is equipped with a "Ball Wool Pillow" and a sheep plush toy, recommended by sleep environment consultant Toru Fujihashi. Made with high-quality wool, the pillows from German company Vilabeck are highly absorbent and breathable, ensuring a comfortable sleep without stuffy necks or heads. The pillows and plush toy are gifts for guests to take home with them. Additionally, from January 7 to March 31, the Grand Hyatt Tokyo's Chinese restaurant, China Room, will offer a dinner menu themed around good fortune: "Kofuku: 'Good Fortune' Tai Chi-Style Collagen Medicinal Hot Pot with Marbled Yellowtail from the Sea of Japan" (8,800 yen). This meal features 15 auspicious ingredients, including winter yellowtail, associated with career advancement; lamb and beef loin, symbolizing financial luck; and cod milt, representing family harmony. The medicinal soup, infused with chicken collagen, is said to have skin-beautifying and detoxifying effects. After the meal, a 30-centimeter candy dragon egg is served. When cracked with a wooden mallet, an auspicious peach bun appears—the perfect dessert for praying for good fortune. Also available in January only: pastry boutique Fiorentina will be selling the traditional French New Year's treat, "Galette des Rois" (3,800 yen). This pie cake, filled with almond cream, is crafted by award-winning pastry chefs from around the world. It features a ceramic fève doll inside. In France, it's said that eating the piece containing the fève when cutting into the cake will bring you good fortune for the year.
