Rihga Royal Hotel Kyoto Hosts Halloween Sweets Lunch & Night Buffet With a Letter-Hunt Game and Candy Grab

All Day Dining Kaza at Rihga Royal Hotel Kyoto is holding a Halloween Sweets Lunch & Night Buffet from September 7 (Monday) to October 31 (Saturday), 2026, pairing a Halloween-themed sweets buffet with a wide variety of dishes distinctive to the hotel in a single seating.

The Halloween Sweets Lunch & Night Buffet spread at All Day Dining Kaza, which includes some dishes served only at lunch or only at dinner

Playful Sweets and Halloween Decor

The buffet lines up playful sweets shaped like ghosts, eyeballs, and coffins, alongside dishes built around fall ingredients such as pumpkin, eggplant, and mushroom. The dining room is decorated for the season, with Halloween props and photo spots set up throughout, giving the space the feel of a Halloween party.

A dinner-only Black Cat Cupcake, topped with jet-black cream that turns diners' mouths black with each bite, is a favorite for photos. Other sweets include a Cassis Mousse styled after a coffin, a slightly eerie Pumpkin Pudding, and a Baked Potato-shaped dessert.

A Fall-Inspired Buffet With Over 70 Dishes

Built around the theme of autumn appetite, the lunch and dinner buffet together offer more than 70 dishes. Seasonal fall dishes include Cappellini with Grilled Eggplant and Shiso, Mushroom Potage, and Gnocchi with Pumpkin Cheese Sauce. Guests can also build an original curry, choosing from three arrangement sauces — red, green, and yellow — with toppings such as fried shrimp.

Other menu items include Pork Roast Porchetta, Tandoori Chicken, Salmon and Avocado Gratin, Seafood Cacciucco, and an Olive and Sun-Dried Tomato Rosemary Cake Salé, along with appetizers, hot dishes, and salads.

A Letter-Hunt Game and Weekend Treats for Kids

Anyone dining at the buffet can join a letter-hunt game: guests search the restaurant for hidden letters, piece them together into a password, and share it with staff to receive a small sweet reward. On weekdays, groups of four or more adults can have one person's meal for free. On Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, children of elementary school age and younger can take part in a candy grab.
