Established in 1934 as Hokkaido's first authentic Western-style hotel, the Sapporo Grand Hotel has a rich history. Known as "the State Guesthouse of the North," its expertise in Western cuisine, honed over the years, is passed down in every dish served at its restaurants. This time, we'll introduce the cuisine, atmosphere, and limited-time collaboration sweets of the Northern Terrace Diner, famous for its lunch buffet.

The spacious interior of the Northern Terrace Diner. Total of 191 seats.

Located in the heart of Sapporo, the Sapporo Grand Hotel opened as Hokkaido's first authentic Western-style hotel. With its restaurants and bakery, it's a place where not only hotel guests but also many locals can casually visit. The lunch buffet at the Northern Terrace Diner on the hotel's first floor is especially popular.

Currently (January - February 28, 2026), a French Fair is being held.

The spacious and calm atmosphere of the Northern Terrace Diner is surrounded by an L-shaped open kitchen, offering about 40 different dishes. The theme of the cuisine changes approximately every two months, providing an attractive seasonal lineup. On Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, they also offer all-you-can-eat roast beef. Additionally, you can order the hotel's signature dishes à la carte, such as Kuroge Wagyu steak and beef stew.

The limited-time collaboration sweet with Snow Miku, "Snow Miku Snow Dome," is 1,800 yen. Takeout is 700 yen.

The restaurant offers a variety of sweets, but the one to watch this winter is the "Snow Miku Snow Dome," a collaboration between "Snow Miku," a character that supports Hokkaido, and the culinary artistry of the Grand Hotel. It's a dish that combines a white chocolate and French cream cheese mousse with a Galette Bretonne, a traditional thick butter cookie from the Brittany region of France.

The crispy and crumbly texture of the Galette Bretonne and the smooth feel of the mousse are a perfect match, filling your mouth with a gentle sweetness.

"We carefully considered not only the taste but also the balance of texture and appearance," says Chef Takada, who created the recipe.

The collaboration sweet comes with a coaster (7 designs in total, distributed randomly *with a purchase of 1,000 yen or more) and a pick featuring an illustration of Snow Miku (2024 costume design). Takeout is also available. Be sure to enjoy this delicious collaboration created by a historic hotel.
