ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Fukuoka (Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City; General Manager: Akira Shibayama) is hosting the "Sweetimal" Chocolate Dessert Buffet at the 1st-floor all-day dining restaurant Crown Café from Saturday, October 3 through Sunday, November 29, 2026.
The hotel's chocolate dessert buffet returns as a popular annual event. This season's theme, "Sweetimal," blends "Sweets" and "Animal," bringing together about 30 kinds of sweets built on a base of rich chocolate flavor and featuring adorable animal motifs.
The pastry chef's top pick, the Peekaboo Bunny Chocolate Shortcake, layers a chocolate sponge made with fragrant Dutch cocoa powder with a rich fresh cream enriched with Belgian chocolate. A playful touch comes from the rabbit ears that pop up from the top of the cake.
The Laid-Back Lion Mango White Chocolate Mousse wraps a mango passion fruit cream with a pleasant tartness inside a smooth, elegantly milky French white chocolate mousse. It's finished with a mango glaze and shaped into a lion with a cute expression.
