Beat the summer heat with a good sweat! Three highlights of the 'Spicy Food Festival'

1. A showcase of different kinds of 'spiciness' across Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisines

This summer's theme is 'intense spice' to blow away the heat with the kick of spices and chili peppers. Our hotel chefs have crafted unique spicy dishes that highlight the strengths of each cuisine. Each menu item is labeled with a 'spice level 3–5,' allowing guests to compare and enjoy according to their personal preference.

Recommended dishes

[Chinese Cuisine] House-made Sichuan-style Spicy Mapo Tofu: A serious dish with numbing heat and deep umami that becomes addictive.

[Western Cuisine] Spicy Spare Ribs / House-made Spicy Tripe Stew: Perfectly spiced to enhance the rich flavor of the meat.

[Ethnic] Green Curry: A perfect balance of refreshing spiciness and the sweetness of coconut milk.

[Japanese Cuisine] Kanzuri-battered Chicken Tempura: The savory and spicy fermented seasoning 'kanzuri' blends into the crispy coating.

[Chinese Cuisine] House-made Sichuan-style Spicy Mapo Tofu: Spice Level 5

[Western Cuisine] Spicy Spare Ribs: Spice Level 4

[Ethnic] Green Curry: Spice Level 3

[Japanese Cuisine] Kanzuri-battered Chicken Tempura: Spice Level 3

2. Refreshing and cooling desserts to gently soothe the heat

To finish your meal, we offer cold desserts that gently cool your heated body. From Taiwan's traditional dessert 'Douhua (Tofu)' to refreshing house-made lemon mousse and daily-changing ice cream, this cool lineup pleasantly extends the summer ambiance.

3. Kid-friendly too! Popular classic menu 'Cut Steak' is all-you-can-eat

While spicy dishes are the highlight, we also offer a wide selection of non-spicy classics like the hotel buffet favorite 'Cut Steak,' as well as children's dishes. Whether you're an adult focusing on drinks, someone who dislikes spicy food, or visiting with young children, guests of all ages can enjoy this event with peace of mind.

Unlimited draft beer and Nara sake! A rich drink menu to satisfy adults

The buffet price includes unlimited drinks. Enjoy ice-cold draft beer, as well as a wide variety of alcoholic beverages including 'Nara local sake,' which pairs perfectly with the food. This event is ideal for company gatherings or casual beer hall-style meetups with friends.
