Reir (レイール), the second-floor ocean-view restaurant at Southern Beach Hotel & Resort Okinawa in Itoman, Okinawa, will hold the red-themed "Winter Buffet: Rouge" from Tuesday, December 1, 2026 to Sunday, February 28, 2027. Dinner from Tuesday, December 1 to Wednesday, December 30 includes all-you-can-eat boiled snow crab. On December 24 (Thursday) and 25 (Friday) only, a special event, "Magic & Jazz Christmas: A Dinner of Magic and Jazz to Brighten the Holy Night," adds a magic show and a jazz stage.
Winter Buffet "Rouge" Themed Around the Color Red
The buffet layers the reds nurtured by the nature of southern Okinawa with the reds that color the winter holiday season to express the world of "Rouge." It also draws on two ideas long cherished in Okinawa: ishoku-dogen (医食同源), nurturing health through food, and nuchigusui (ぬちぐすい), the notion that food nourishes both mind and body. The aim is to offer a heartwarming time to visitors to Okinawa in winter.
Red-themed dishes are served at both lunch and dinner. They include a smoothie made with "Chura Carrot" (美ら（ちゅら）キャロット), a brand of carrot grown in Itoman, an Okinawa-sourced tuna cutlet with shibazuke tartar sauce, and strawberry soft serve ice cream. A Christmas special menu is added from December 18 (Friday), so a wide range of dishes is available throughout the period.

Dinner Buffet
Finished in the live kitchen, the roast beef sirloin with miso sauce headlines the dinner lineup. It is joined by Japanese-style oil-grilled redfish with Japanese-style sauce, jumbo fried shrimp with tartar sauce, Okinawa-sourced pork shabu-shabu, and a beet and quinoa potato salad, among a wide variety of dishes. The dessert corner offers sweets such as a berry tart and a strawberry milk cake.
