JR Tower Hotel Nikko Sapporo (located in Sapporo, Hokkaido; General Manager: Takayuki Kato) will host a restaurant festival titled 'Summer Table' from Wednesday, July 1, 2026, to Monday, August 31, 2026.

Guests can enjoy the distinctive flavors of summer through vibrant Western and Chinese dishes, as well as desserts starring refreshing seasonal fruits.

At 'SKY J,' the restaurant and bar located on the 35th floor, a live-cooking station will feature 'Roast Herb-Fed Pork from Makkarigawa with Caper-Lemon Sauce'—a dish showcasing locally sourced Makkarigawa herb-fed pork grilled to perfection and served with a sauce blending the saltiness of capers and the tang of lemon. The buffet area will include a variety of dishes such as 'Colorful Tomato and Campari Aspic with Basil and Prosciutto Sauce,' combining vibrant cherry tomatoes, grapefruit, and mozzarella in a consommé jelly, as well as 'Chilled Koji Milk Dan Dan Noodles.'

On the same floor, the Sky Restaurant 'Tancho' will offer a lunch-exclusive menu item: the 'Domestic Unagi Donburi.' This luxurious dish features an entire grilled domestic eel, first steamed until tender and then grilled to a rich, savory finish.

Additionally, 'The Lobby Lounge' will introduce the 'Melon Parfait,' crafted with house-made sorbets of green-fleshed and red-fleshed melons layered with a delicate jelly infused with hints of ginger and lime for a refreshing taste. Also available are the 'Peach Granita,' a frozen drink highlighting the sweetness and rich aroma of peaches, and the elegant 'Peach Summer Afternoon Tea Set,' featuring peaches as the star ingredient.

We invite you to savor the creative culinary offerings by our hotel chefs and pastry chefs, celebrating the fleeting summer season of Hokkaido.
