DoubleTree by Hilton Okinawa Chatan Resort to Host "Alice and the Mysterious Blue Ocean" Lunch & Sweets Buffet

DoubleTree by Hilton Okinawa Chatan Resort will host a special lunch and sweets buffet, "Alice and the Mysterious Blue Ocean: Another Story the Underwater Clock Tells," at Matira, the hotel's 2nd floor restaurant. The event runs from Saturday, May 23 to Monday, September 7, 2026, on Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, and public holidays.

Inspired by Lewis Carroll's timeless classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the buffet immerses guests in an enchanting underwater world shaped by the theme of "the ocean and clocks." The space conjures a realm of distorted time enveloped in deep blue, where countless clocks tick away and the sensation of being freed from reality takes hold. Surrounded by story-driven details such as playing cards and teacups, guests can enjoy the buffet while wrapped in an otherworldly ambiance.

The hotel's pastry team has crafted 13 types of sweets alongside 8 savory dishes, priced at ¥4,600 per person.

The Mysterious Clock Beginning to Warp

Red and Black Contrast: Lost in the World of Playing Cards

"The Mysterious Clock Beginning to Warp" is a tiramisu made with generous amounts of Okinawa-grown brown sugar (kokuto). The gentle sweetness of the rich brown sugar layers with the subtle bitterness of coffee to create a deep, nuanced flavor with every bite. Balanced for a light finish, it remains easy to enjoy all the way through.

"Red and Black Contrast: Lost in the World of Playing Cards" is a Paris-Brest pastry made with light choux pastry filled with a tangy berry jam. The fragrant butter flavor, refreshing tartness of the berries, and gentle sweetness of the strawberry cream harmonize beautifully, building into a vibrant and layered taste. The contrast between the airy texture and rich flavors makes for a satisfying experience.

Toward a Mysterious Underwater Space

Chasing the Rabbit

"Toward a Mysterious Underwater Space" is a moist fruit pound cake packed with dried fruits. Careful baking draws out the natural sweetness and aroma of each fruit, resulting in a rich, deep flavor that grows more satisfying with every bite.

"Chasing the Rabbit" is a mousse tart enclosing a juicy peach jelly. The gentle sweetness of peach blends with the subtle fragrance of chamomile for a light, refreshing finish. The smooth mousse and tart crust complement the fruit's freshness in a pleasant way.

The Mirror Hat of the Warped World

Playing Cards from Wonderland

Other sweets include "The Mirror Hat of the Warped World," a milk chocolate mousse with a hidden orange jelly center, and "Playing Cards from Wonderland," a crispy butter sablé made with house-made butter — both exclusive to this event. All 13 sweets and 8 savory dishes can be enjoyed alongside coffee and tea in this fantastical setting.
