Hotel Granvia Okayama's 19th-floor Dining & Bar Applause is hosting a "Sky View Lunch Buffet: All-You-Can-Eat Steak, Sushi & Sweets" from July 1, 2026.
Stepping into the top-floor restaurant reveals a sweeping view of Okayama's cityscape — a fitting backdrop for a special summer lunch experience. The 90-minute all-you-can-eat buffet includes a live kitchen where chefs prepare dishes to order, menus featuring locally sourced Okayama ingredients, and an interactive dessert corner where guests can craft their own original sweets.
Juicy Steak Fresh from the Live Kitchen
The savory aroma drifting from the live kitchen sets the tone right away. Chefs grill beef loin steak to order in front of guests, served with a Japanese-style sauce made with Okayama's local Takatori Soy Sauce. Sushi prepared with Okayama-grown "Kinumusume" rice is also part of the all-you-can-eat lineup, with unlimited refills available.
Savoring the Best of Okayama's Local Ingredients
The buffet showcases the rich culinary heritage of Okayama. Highlights include a chilled "Okayama White Peach Vichyssoise," an "Okayama Yellow Garlic Chive and Shrimp Glass Noodle Salad," and a savory "Bisei-cho Sangenton Pork 'Tonchinka' Roast." "Kamogawa Hand-Pulled Somen Noodles" offer a smooth, refreshing option to cool down on a hot summer day.
Interactive Sweets Corner: Just Like a Summer Festival
The dessert section brings a festive energy to the experience. Guests can choose from six soft-serve ice cream flavors and top them with caramel popcorn, marble chocolate, and more to create their own original parfait. A chocolate fountain lets guests dip marshmallows and strawberry Baumkuchen — a treat that's as photogenic as it is delicious.
"Beer Hall Plan" Available for Adults
For those who want drinks alongside the buffet, a "Beer Hall Plan" is on offer, with all-you-can-drink beer, wine, cocktails, and sake. It's a relaxing way to enjoy a summer afternoon in the comfort of the air-conditioned hotel.
