The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Naha introduces a limited-time Mediterranean Food Fair at its seventh-floor dining venue, THE 7th TERRACE RYUKYU. Running through the autumn harvest season, the event focuses on the intersection of Mediterranean culinary traditions and the specific produce of Okinawa, featuring ingredients such as Yanbaru herb chicken and local pork.
Mediterranean Flavors Meet Okinawan Ingredients
The menu highlights the harvest season through a curated selection of dishes that utilize regional freshness. Key offerings include Basque-style Yanbaru herb chicken and squid ink curry accompanied by Churabuta pork sausage. These dishes are designed to showcase Mediterranean preparation methods—such as slow roasting and marinating—applied to ingredients sourced from the Okinawan landscape.
Diverse Lunch and Buffet Options
The fair provides multiple lunch formats to accommodate different dining preferences. During the week, guests can select a lunch set starting from 1,800 yen, which includes a main dish, soup, salad, and beverages. Alternatively, a 90-minute prefix buffet for 3,850 yen offers a choice of four main dishes alongside an array of seven appetizers, including marinated eggplant and roasted pumpkin.
On weekends and holidays, the venue transitions to a full buffet priced at 4,400 yen for adults. This service features live kitchen performances, where chefs prepare sushi and mushroom cream spaghetti finished inside a Granapadano cheese wheel. The buffet also includes roast beef and Tokachi pork bowls, providing a broader range of seasonal flavors.
Elegant Dinner and Seasonal Desserts
The evening menu shifts toward more formal Mediterranean techniques. The dinner course, starting at 6,500 yen, includes dishes such as a marinade of red shrimp and ark shell served with a red bell pepper bavarois. The meal concludes with a selection of desserts inspired by the local autumn, such as *Beni-imo* (purple yam) Basque cheesecake and crepes sweetened with Okinawan brown sugar.
For those visiting specifically for sweets, an a la carte dessert menu is available during both lunch and dinner hours. Highlights include a chestnut vacherin for 1,500 yen and a citrus parfait that balances the richer flavors of the season. These desserts utilize traditional Japanese ingredients like brown sugar and seasonal tubers to provide a regional conclusion to the Mediterranean experience.
