XEX Spring Buffet 2026
All-you-can-eat fresh strawberries & strawberry sweets × approx. 60 types of authentic Italian
XEX Spring Buffet 2026 unites two distinct dining propositions—unlimited fresh strawberries and strawberry desserts alongside approximately sixty varieties of authentic Italian cuisine—across multiple Tokyo locations. Running from late February through late May 2026, this buffet distinguishes itself through a rotating menu system that divides the event into two distinct periods, encouraging repeat visits to experience the full range of seasonal offerings.
The strawberry component centers on unlimited fresh fruit, supported by a sweets selection spanning classics such as panna cotta and tiramisu to rotating seasonal items. A consistent highlight throughout the entire run is the “freshly squeezed strawberry mont blanc,” one of several desserts featuring tableside “finishing touches” that allow guests to customize their presentation. Complementing the sweet courses, the savory menu comprises substantial Italian meal options prepared with seasonal ingredients, ensuring the buffet satisfies as a complete dining experience rather than merely a dessert service.
To maintain variety across the three-month duration, the buffet operates on a two-period schedule. The first half runs from February 25 to April 7, 2026, after which the menu partially transitions for the second half, lasting from April 8 to May 26, 2026. This rotation ensures that ingredients remain at peak seasonality; notably, the second half introduces “Strawberry Neve”—featuring freshly shaved Amaou strawberries—available exclusively at XEX TOKYO and XEX Nihonbashi.

XEX manages a small group of Italian restaurants in Tokyo, with primary locations at Atago Green Hills—where floor-to-ceiling windows face Tokyo Tower—and in the Nihonbashi commercial district. The venues operate as distinct establishments rather than uniform chain outlets, each organized around open kitchens with wood-burning ovens and dining rooms arranged to capitalize on their elevated views of the city.
The kitchens focus on regional Italian cooking, importing dried pasta, olive oil, and cured meats while building dishes around seasonal domestic produce. Service follows the attentive but unobtrusive style typical of upscale Tokyo dining: staff anticipate needs without hovering, and pacing accommodates both business lunches and lengthy evening meals. While the à la carte menu runs continuously, XEX sustains its reputation through limited-run buffet events that function as temporary culinary installations. The spring strawberry festival presents the fruit across multiple stations—whole berries, laminated pastries, reduction sauces, and gelato—while winter chocolate events feature varying cocoa percentages across truffles, tarts, and warm molten cakes. These engagements typically book within hours of release, drawing diners who schedule them around specific occasions rather than treating them as routine dining options.
