Seafood Rice Gratin

The Hotel New Grand's signature menu item, seafood rice gratin, originated in the 1930s. Swiss Chef Saly Weil, who served as the first master chef at the hotel, invented this recipe and is considered to be a highly influential figure in the Japanese culinary scene. The seafood rice gratin, also known as a seafood doria, consists of rice, shrimp, and scallops covered in a rich bechamel sauce. This dish is still served at the Hotel New Grand to this day.
