Shisen Hanten CNY Feast 2026: A New Lunar Year Of Abundance

Lunar New Year is a time for reunion, reflection and renewal, and in 2026, Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro invites you and your loved ones to welcome the Year of the Horse with a celebration steeped in tradition and elevated by refinement. Guided by the philosophy of honouring time-honoured customs while embracing the promise of a new year, the Michelin-starred restaurant presents an extensive collection of festive offerings that blend Chinese Szechuan flavours with refined Japanese techniques, creating a dining experience that feels both meaningful and luxurious.

Festive Menus Designed for Meaningful Reunions

From early February through early March 2026, you can gather around the table to enjoy thoughtfully curated set menus crafted for both intimate family reunions and larger celebratory occasions. Seven dine-in set menus are available, ranging from 168 dollars to 388 dollars per person, each reflecting Chef Chen Kentaro’s commitment to seasonality, premium ingredients and heartfelt cooking. These menus are available for dinner from 2 February to 3 March 2026, and for lunch from 9 February to 3 March 2026.

The experience begins, as tradition dictates, with yu sheng. Shisen Hanten’s Prosperity Salmon Yu Sheng returns for the festive season, featuring tender salmon paired with colourful vegetables and finished with aromatic seasonings that symbolise abundance and prosperity. For an added touch of indulgence, you may choose to elevate the dish with Osetra caviar. More lavish variations are also available, including a Prosperity Madai Yu Sheng made with Japanese red sea bream, as well as a Wealthy Lobster, Abalone and Salmon Yu Sheng that sets a celebratory tone for the feast ahead.

Signature Dishes that Define the Celebration

Throughout the menus, you will encounter dishes that showcase the restaurant’s signature Chūka Szechwan Ryori style. A highlight making its debut this Lunar New Year is the Wok-fried Glutinous Rice with Foie Gras, Chinese Sausage and Black Truffle. Toothsome glutinous rice is stir-fried with aromatic Chinese sausages and diced foie gras, finished with fragrant truffle for layers of savoury depth. This dish is available both as part of select set menus and as a takeaway option.

As you explore the more luxurious menus, the experience becomes increasingly opulent. Dishes such as Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, whole barbecued suckling pig, braised abalone with black moss, premium seafood preparations and carefully balanced vegetable courses reflect the restaurant’s belief that Lunar New Year dining should be generous, harmonious and deeply satisfying. Each course is designed to be shared, reinforcing the importance of togetherness at the heart of the celebration.

Thoughtful Options for Every Table

If you or your loved ones observe a vegetarian diet, a dedicated Vegetarian Set Menu is also available. This menu offers equally considered preparations, from a healthy vegetarian yu sheng to nourishing broths, wok-fried vegetables scented with truffle, and comforting plant-based dishes that allow everyone at the table to partake fully in the festivities.

Bringing the Celebration Home

For moments when you wish to celebrate at home, Shisen Hanten offers an extensive range of Lunar New Year takeaway goodies available from 19 January to 3 March 2026. These include festive staples such as assorted cakes that symbolise happiness, wealth, longevity and joy, as well as indulgent treats like honey-coated pecan nuts. Signature dishes such as the Wok-fried Glutinous Rice with Foie Gras and the Prosperity Salmon Yu Sheng are also available for advance order, allowing you to recreate the restaurant experience at your own reunion table.

For larger gatherings, the Springtime Celebration Bundle brings together a generous spread designed for sharing, featuring yu sheng, signature mains, comforting classics and festive desserts. Advance ordering is required, with free delivery available for qualifying orders, making it effortless to host with confidence and ease.
