Grand Prince Hotel Hiroshima (23-1 Motoujina-cho, Minami-ku, Hiroshima), a resort surrounded by sky and sea, will hold the "Strawberry Lunch Buffet: Fragrant Symphony," an all-you-can-eat buffet of strawberries, sweets, and lunch dishes, from Saturday, January 9 to Monday, May 31, 2027. It takes place at Sky Lounge Top of Hiroshima on the 23rd floor of the hotel.
A Strawberry Buffet in Its 25th Year
In 2003, the hotel became the first in Hiroshima Prefecture to start a strawberry buffet, and this year marks its 25th year. It began with standard items such as strawberry shortcakes and strawberry tarts. Since then, it has grown year by year, adding more lunch dishes and collaborating with businesses from other industries to widen the menu.
"Fragrant Symphony" with Mlesna Tea
This year's theme is "Fragrant Symphony," and the buffet teams up with the Ceylon tea brand Mlesna Tea (ムレスナティー). Every blended tea that appears is an original by Mlesna Tea Japan (ムレスナティージャパン). Guests can enjoy sweets and savory dishes that pair the gently blended aromas of the teas with the sweet-tart flavor of strawberries, as well as drinks such as pairing teas. About one third of the menu changes between the first and second halves of the period, so the flavors vary depending on when you visit.
The hotel will also hold a one-day event to thank guests for the 25th anniversary. Guests can spend an afternoon with vibrant aromas and flavors against the backdrop of the Seto Inland Sea scenery that the hotel offers.
About Mlesna Tea
Mlesna Tea is a premium Ceylon tea brand born in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) in 1983, founded by Anselm B. Perera (アンスレム・B・ペレラ). In Japan, Mlesna Tea Japan develops its own flavors and blends.
The collaboration is with Mlesna Tea Hiroshima (ムレスナティー広島), located in the Hiroshima station building "minamoa" (ミナモア).
