ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Chitose 1st floor all-day dining "Haskap The Garden" will hold "Sweets & Lunch Buffet Takumi no Kyoen ~Winter Desserts and Stone Oven Recipes~" on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays only from January 10 (Saturday), 2026 to February 28 (Saturday), 2026.

In this lunch buffet, Chief Pastry Chef Takashi Naito (Naito Takashi) and Pastry Chef Yasuhide Sawada (Sawada Yasuhide), who newly joined this winter, will collaborate on the theme of "Winter Desserts".
Sweets that fully utilize their respective sensibilities and techniques will resonate beautifully. Furthermore, the menu created by Haskap The Garden Head Chef Akinori Yamamoto (Yamamoto Akinori) uses the cooking utensil "Staub" (stone oven), which originated in the Alsace region of northeastern France. Based on the desire to "bring happiness to the dining table," the dishes are finished to bring out the deliciousness of the ingredients, allowing one to feel the aroma and warmth.

Also, the "Chef's Special Menu" that appears weekly is a big highlight. In addition to freshly prepared dishes and sweets served from the open kitchen, recipes that can be replicated at home will be revealed. You can enjoy it not only as a "tasting" experience but also as a "learning" experience. When a chef is present in the restaurant, you can enjoy direct conversation and learn about their thoughts and commitment.

■Weekly Changing "Chef's Special Menu"
Chief Pastry Chef Takashi Naito's sweets fully express the techniques cultivated during his training in France, such as "Caramelized Apple Stew with Rosemary," which adds the aroma of rosemary to slowly caramelized apples, and "Gâteau Chocolat Nancy," a traditional confectionery from the Lorraine region of France, where the aroma of almonds and the flavor of chocolate spread.
Newly joined Pastry Chef Yasuhide Sawada's sweets offer dishes that make the most of the ingredients' natural flavors, such as "Chocolat Pudding," which boasts a smooth melt-in-your-mouth texture, and "Tarte Alsacienne (Alsatian Apple Tart)," which is made by arranging apples on a tart crust, pouring rich cream over them, and baking them.
On the other hand, Haskap The Garden Head Chef Akinori Yamamoto's menu uses "Staub" (stone oven) and offers appetizing dishes that are particular about both appearance and texture, such as "Nagaimo and Bacon Quiche," which is fragrant on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and "Brandade of Cod," a traditional Southern French dish made by smoothly kneading cod and potatoes, enjoyed with garlic toast.

Weekly special menus that layer the individuality and playfulness of the chefs on top of the traditions and techniques that breathe throughout various regions of France.
Each time you taste, there are new discoveries, and you can feel the depth of the dishes and sweets.
Please enjoy this winter-only feast, woven by the skills and passion of the masters, with all five senses.
