The birth of new specialty sweets for Osaka, renowned throughout Japan as both the capital of cuisine and the holy land of humor!

SKY BUFFET 51, on the top floor of Art Hotel Osaka Bay Tower, allows you to look out over a dynamic cityscape from 200 meters above the ground. The lunch and dinner buffets boast a menu of more than 80 dishes of both Japanese and western cuisine made with seasonal ingredients, and this fall will play host a grand prank, with seven different kinds of “trick food”. A perfect fit for Osaka, renowned throughout Japan as both the capital of cuisine and the holy land of humor!

Okonomiyaki and takoyaki, the soul food of Osaka, transmuted into pancakes and profiteroles, topped with “mayonnaise” made of chocolate and whipped cream, with white chocolate “katsuobushi (bonito flakes)” and matcha “aonori (dried green seaweed)”. Sata andagi (Okinawan sweet dough buns) fried like kara-age (fried chicken), adorned with “cabbage” made from chocolate. “Fried gyoza dumpling” sweet-potato mochi rice buns lightly and fragrantly toasted with a blowtorch. “Beer” that is perfectly safe for kids to enjoy because it’s actually jelly with the delectable fizziness of soda.
