A Sweet Symphony of Flavors and Textures Awaits

Fukuoka Sunpalace Hotel & Hall’s ‘Restaurant & Cafe Lagoon’ is set to dazzle dessert lovers with its “Brand new! Spring Parfait ~Spring Parfait All-You-Can-Eat 2026~,” running from January 17 to May 6. This year’s event promises an entirely fresh experience, featuring a lineup of new parfaits and an expanded menu that includes savory options for the first time.

The highly anticipated parfait buffet, a popular seasonal offering, has been completely revamped. Guests can enjoy an array of exquisite parfaits, choosing between full or half sizes, alongside other delightful sweets.

A Showcase of New Spring Parfaits

The 2026 lineup introduces four brand-new, spring-themed parfaits, each a masterpiece of flavor and presentation.

  • Strawberry Crème Brûlée Parfait: A delightful combination of crispy, caramelized brûlée and juicy strawberries, offering a harmonious blend of rich sweetness and refreshing tartness.

  • Hojicha and Nama Chocolate Parfait: This visually appealing Japanese-style parfait layers fragrant hojicha (roasted green tea) jelly with three colors of kanten (agar-agar), complemented by rich nama chocolate. Its depth of flavor and aroma is truly captivating.

  • Ichigo Shiratama Anmitsu Parfait: A gentle and inviting Japanese-style parfait, it combines chopped strawberries, chewy shiratama (rice flour dumplings), and anmitsu (a traditional Japanese dessert with agar jelly, fruit, and sweet red bean paste). The fresh sweetness of strawberries perfectly balances the elegant sweetness of anmitsu.

It features special marshmallows crafted by Ishimura Manseido, layered with strawberry ice cream and shiratama over panna cotta, offering a graceful and soft flavor profile.
  • Sakura Parfait (March 16 – May 6): A spring-themed delight featuring panna cotta infused with cherry blossom liqueur, layered with cornflakes, sakura ice cream, matcha warabi mochi, and shiratama, topped with a tuile. Its appearance perfectly captures the essence of spring.

Beyond Parfaits: A Feast for All Tastes

The buffet also includes other popular sweets such as “Matcha and Strawberry Tiramisu,” a first for this parfait buffet series, and the returning favorite “Strawberry Gyūhi Daifuku.” Warm “Oshiruko” (sweet red bean soup) is also available.

For those who crave a balance of sweet and savory, a new “Spring Parfait All-You-Can-Eat 2026 PLUS” plan is introduced. This plan allows guests to enjoy not only parfaits but also an unlimited supply of fried potatoes, freshly fried chicken nuggets, and hotel-special mini curry. This addition ensures that even those who might find it challenging to eat only sweets can fully enjoy the experience.

“This expanded offering truly elevates the all-you-can-eat experience, ensuring there’s something delightful for every palate,” remarked a representative.
