Dining Cafe "SOCO" at Kobe Portopia Hotel (Chuo Ward, Kobe City; General Manager Tsuyoshi Ito) will hold the "Family Dinner Buffet - Halloween Autumn Harvest Festival" on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from September 19 (Saturday) to November 3 (Tuesday, holiday), 2026.
Pumpkin and chestnut, the signature flavors of autumn, are transformed into cute Frankenstein- and devil-themed dishes in this weekend-and-holiday-only Halloween dinner buffet.
Upon being seated, guests are first served "SOCO's Special Beef Stew and Halloween Bread," called the "chef's first course." The slow-simmered beef stew is shared at the table together with pumpkin bread, making for a lively evening that leaves a lasting impression.
The buffet lineup includes 21 savory dishes and 16 desserts. Alongside kid-favorite items like fried chicken and fries, beef and garlic pilaf, and a cheddar cheeseburger, the spread features "Margherita - Spiderweb Style," a margherita pizza styled after a spider's web, and "Ghost Pumpkin Chilled Bavarois," served in a hollowed-out pumpkin. Among the desserts, guests will find matcha fudge made to resemble Frankenstein, a mousse styled after the apple held by a witch, and a devil-motif shortcake - unique menu items that adults and children alike can enjoy together.
During the event, the "Candy Grab Challenge," which was popular last year, returns. Guests of elementary school age and under who come dressed in Halloween costumes or wearing Halloween goods can take part.
