Yokohama Grand Intercontinental Hotel (Minato Mirai 1-1-1, Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa) is introducing a Dinosaur Zone within the ongoing "Hawaii & Oceania" buffet at its first-floor restaurant, Ocean Terrace. The zone will run from July 17 (Friday) through September 6 (Sunday), 2026.
This summer, dinosaurs are coming to the Minato Mirai waterfront district. Adjacent to the hotel, Pacifico Yokohama Exhibition Hall is hosting "Yokohama Dinosaur Exhibition 2026: The Big Encyclopedia of Dinosaur Diets" (ヨコハマ恐竜展2026～恐竜の食卓大図鑑～) from July 17 to September 6, exploring the eating habits of dinosaurs through specimens and fossil teeth. Running concurrently from July 17 through August 23 (Sunday), the stamp rally and area-wide event "Minato Mirai Dinosaur Rally" (みなとみらいダイナソーラリー) will take place across the Minato Mirai district, with life-sized moving dinosaurs appearing throughout the neighborhood.
With the neighborhood coming alive with these events, Ocean Terrace is joining in by offering a dedicated Dinosaur Zone inside the Hawaii & Oceania buffet, featuring five dinosaur-themed dishes for guests of all ages.
Dinosaur Zone Food Menu
The five-item food lineup spans savory and sweet, drawing on dinosaur shapes and references:
Dinosaur Chicken Nuggets — chicken nuggets shaped like dinosaurs.
Dinosaur Pasta Meat Sauce — meat sauce made with dinosaur-shaped pasta representing species such as Stegosaurus and Triceratops.
Fried Chicken Bone & Potato Mountain — an impressive platter of fried chicken on the bone piled high with potatoes.
Dinosaur Footprint Omurice with Hayashi Sauce — an omurice (omelet rice) shaped to resemble Tyrannosaurus footprints, topped with the hotel's house-made hayashi sauce.
Dinosaur Cookies (plain, matcha, cocoa) — pastry-made cookies shaped like dinosaurs, created by the hotel's pastry team. They can be enjoyed on their own or placed atop soft-serve ice cream and other desserts from the dessert corner as a decorative topping.
Dinosaur Zone Drink Menu (Additional Charge)
Three ice cream float options are available for guests of all ages:
- Red Dino Float
- Apple Mojito Float
- Tyraco Coke Float
Cocktails are also available for adult guests.
