Grand Mercure Okinawa Cape Zanpa Resort, an all-inclusive resort hotel located at Cape Zanpa, one of Okinawa's premier scenic spots, launched its lunch buffet service on January 10, 2026. The buffet features customizable dishes such as hand-rolled sushi with choice of ingredients, build-your-own hamburgers, and teppan-grilled meats finished piping hot at your table. A unique highlight is that drinks including Orion Beer draft and awamori shochu are also included in the price.
Background of Lunch Buffet Launch
The hotel has been providing buffet-style meals for breakfast and dinner but had not offered lunch service. Approximately 80% (*) of annual guests stay for multiple nights, and many have requested, "We want lunch available at the hotel so we can enjoy a leisurely resort stay without leaving the property." This new service responds to that demand.

The Appeal of the Lunch Buffet
1. Customizable Menu Items Spark Conversation
Over 50 menu items are available, including fresh salads, diverse Japanese and Western dishes, and desserts. Guests can customize hand-rolled sushi by selecting ingredients like tuna and shrimp, build hamburgers with beef patties, cheese, and vegetables on small buns, and enjoy teppan-grilled meats cooked hot at the table. Not only are these dishes delicious, but even with the same menu item, different arrangements and ingredient combinations create varied appearances and flavors, inspiring comments like "I'll try that next!" that naturally spark conversation.
2. All-You-Can-Drink Alcohol Included Without Worry
Another attractive feature is that soft drinks as well as all-you-can-drink draft beer and awamori are included in the price. Orion Beer draft and the representative awamori brand "Zanpa" are also recommended mixed with shikuwasa liqueur and soda. Guests can savor the refreshing taste perfectly suited to Okinawa's early spring afternoons, where spring arrives earlier than on the mainland, paired with their meal.
*Service to minors and guests who will be driving is strictly prohibited.
