Experience Autumn Delights at the Chocolate-Drenched Harvest Festival

As autumn breathes life into the season with its vibrant colors and rich flavors, Kichijoji Excel Hotel Tokyu is excited to announce a special event: the "SORAE Sweets Buffet - Chocolate-Drenched Harvest Festival". This delectable experience will take place every Wednesday from September 2 to November 25, 2026, from 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM. It promises to be a delightful exploration of autumnal flavors combined with the sweetness of chocolate.

After the overwhelming success of the inaugural festival last year, this year's event is set to entice visitors once again with a creative selection of desserts that showcases seasonal ingredients such as chestnuts, sweet potatoes, apples, pears, and grapes. Expect to indulge in both classic autumn treats and innovative dishes that elevate the joy of chocolate and fall harvest.

A Sweet Blend of Autumn and Chocolate

This year marks the introduction of exciting new sweets that celebrate the bounty of fall. One highlight is the "Chestnut and Hojicha Verrine," a delightful layering of chestnut jelly, panna cotta, and roasted chestnut-infused hojicha jelly. The rich sweetness of chestnuts meets the subtle bitterness of hojicha, creating a delightful contrast with every bite.

Another notable creation is the "Sweet Potato Terrine," which features slow-roasted sweet potatoes paired with orange-flavored milk chocolate, showcasing the robust texture and taste of sweet potato. This blend captures the heart of autumn while providing a rich chocolate experience.

Moreover, guests will find an assortment of irresistible treats, including the classic "Chestnut Pudding" that boasts a creamy texture and the decadent "Mont Blanc Shortcake" layered generously with Mont Blanc cream. For those who enjoy authentic autumn flavors, the "Apple Pie" and "Sweet Potato Tart" are sure to please, while chocolate lovers will be delighted by treats like chocolate roll cakes, cream puffs, brownies, and various chocolate selections.

A Complete Dining Experience

While the sweets take center stage, there’s also an impressive array of savory dishes to satisfy diners. Enjoy the famously popular "Onion Curry" or indulge in the freshly-made "Cream Pasta with Parmigiano Reggiano," handcrafted right before your eyes. Complemented by a selection of fried chicken and a colorful array of marinated vegetables, this buffet ensures a fulfilling dining experience.

Autumn nights present a wonderful excuse to treat yourself to a sweet reward. Immerse yourself in the enticing world of chocolates and seasonal delights during this limited-time festival at SORAE.
