Hilton Nagoya is bringing a Korean sweets-themed summer event to its first-floor all-day dining venue "InPlace 3-3 (Three Three)" from May 15 (Friday) to September 13 (Sunday), 2026. The limited-time "Summer Sweets Buffet" blends traditional Korean confections with the latest Korean dessert trends, all crafted by the hotel's pastry team.
This season's theme — "Eat, Refresh, Be Captivated" — sees Korean sweets reimagined with refined techniques and eye-catching presentation, placing equal emphasis on taste and visual appeal.
Summer Sweets Buffet
The buffet offers 16 items in total. A live station takes center stage with freshly shaved Korean ice dessert "Bingsu," served right before guests' eyes.
The bingsu features finely shaved banana-flavored milk ice that melts softly on the palate — light, refreshing, and true to the summer spirit.
Other highlights from the menu include:
Sleepy Teddy Bear Cake — A fluffy sponge cake filled with white peach, melon, and fresh cream, topped with an adorable teddy bear sleeping on a cloud.
White Peach Jelly Rare Cheesecake — A smooth rare cheesecake with white peach jelly enclosed inside, shaped to resemble a white peach and balancing fruity sweetness with a gentle cheesy tang.
Fluffy Mousse — Almond mousse layered with orange and apricot tartness, accented by the fragrance of yuzu.
Yakgwa and Vanilla Ice Cream — Traditional Korean yakgwa, fragrant with honey and ginger, paired alongside smooth vanilla ice cream.
Croffle — A Korean-born treat made by pressing croissant dough in a waffle iron, known for its buttery flavor and satisfying crunch.
Cup Tiramisu — A Korean-style cup tiramisu with light cream and coffee bitterness.
Dubai Choco Mochi — Soft mochi (gyuhi) encasing a chocolate-and-kadaif filling, offering a satisfying contrast of textures.
Banana Roll Cake — Banana and custard rolled in sponge, topped with mango and passion fruit cream for a light, fruity finish.
Fruit Tart — An almond cream tart base adorned with colorful mango, apricot, and other seasonal fruits.
Chilsung Cider Grape Terrine — A grape terrine made using Chilsung Cider, harmonizing the carbonated beverage's refreshing quality with the fruit's natural tartness.
Songpyeon Rice Cake — Traditional Korean songpyeon rice cakes served with a pour of strawberry milk, letting guests enjoy the gentle sweetness and texture of glutinous rice.
Chocolate Banana Cream Pie — Pastry layered with banana and chocolate cream, combining different textures and flavors.
Mango Warabi Mochi and Jasmine-Flavored Ohgyoji — Mango warabi mochi paired with ohgyoji jelly infused with jasmine fragrance.
