The restaurant offers a wide variety of sweets, but one to look out for this winter is the "Snow Miku Snow Globe," a collaboration between Snow Miku, the Hokkaido-supporting character, and the Grand Hotel's "skill."

The collaboration sweets come with a coaster (7 types, randomly chosen *For purchases of 1,000 yen or more) and a pick with an illustration of Snow Miku (2024 costume design). Takeout is also available. Be sure to enjoy this delicious collaboration created by a long-established hotel.
