From September 1 through September 30, 2026, three restaurants at JR Tower Hotel Nikko Sapporo are hosting a restaurant fair called "Autumn Harvest," featuring Western and Chinese dishes made with seasonal ingredients along with sweets and drinks built around the flavors of chestnuts, grapes, and nuts. The fair spans the hotel's 35th-floor dining venues and the 1st-floor lounge, with each spot presenting its own seasonal menu.
Restaurant & Bar "SKY J" – Autumn Harvest Panorama Buffet
On the 35th floor, Restaurant & Bar "SKY J" is running a lunch buffet that includes a live-cooking dish finished in front of guests: a moist roast of ezo deer meat paired with a raspberry sauce that plays off the meat's richness with fruity acidity. The buffet counter also features creamy porcini mushroom and sweet potato pasta topped with pecorino romano, and a stir-fry of chicken and autumn eggplant with cashew nuts, among a wide range of other dishes. Guests take in views from 150 meters above the city while dining.
