Hotel Vischio Amagasaki's Café & Restaurant "West River" is hosting an Autumn Family Lunch & Dinner Buffet on select dates: September 19 (Sat)–23 (Wed, holiday), October 10 (Sat)–12 (Mon, holiday), and November 21 (Sat)–23 (Mon, holiday), 2026. The dinner buffet also runs for five days, September 19 (Sat)–23 (Wed, holiday).
About 30 all-you-can-eat dishes are on offer, including dishes made with seasonal ingredients like mushrooms, sweet potato, and root vegetables, alongside kids' favorites such as head-on fried shrimp and frankfurters. Soft drinks and non-alcoholic beverages are included with 90 minutes of free refills.
Enjoy an Autumn Moment Together as a Family
The buffet's concept centers on enjoying a moment of autumn together as a family. Alongside seasonal menu items built around ingredients in peak season, the lineup of kids' favorites has been expanded, offering an open, spacious space for families to spend a smile-filled time together.
Chef's recommendation, lunch only: Orange-scented Roast Pork — a mouthwatering dish that lets the umami of the meat shine through directly.
Dinner only: Roast Beef with Gravy Sauce — a guest favorite, with moist, tender red meat and rich savory flavor.
Monthly Sushi and a Rotating Hands-On Corner
At lunch, the sushi selection changes each month: colorful chirashi sushi in September, hand-rolled temaki sushi in October, and nigiri sushi in November.
The hands-on corner also rotates monthly. In September, guests can make their own kakigori (shaved ice); in October, a naan pizza station lets diners top their own naan with as many ingredients as they like; and in November, a make-your-own pudding station offers caramel sauce, berry sauce, whipped cream, and more for guests to finish to their own taste. The corner is designed for kids and adults alike to enjoy.
Drinks
A wide range of non-alcoholic cocktails is available, including cassis orange, lemon sour, highball, and chardonnay sparkling, alongside a generous lineup of soft drinks such as cola, ginger ale, assorted sodas and juices, iced tea, and oolong tea. Guests can also add unlimited alcoholic drinks for an extra ¥1,500.
