[Grand Mercure Sapporo Odori Park] "The faucet with onion soup" appears in the lobby! A warm drink of hospitality when twisting the faucet in Sapporo in winter
We offer soup that condensed the taste of onions from the Kitami region of Hokkaido, Japan, for a limited time during the Sapporo Snow Festival, February 4 (Wed) to 11 (Wed), 2026
The city hotel "Grand Mercure Sapporo Odori Park" (Chuo-ku, Sapporo City, Hokkaido / General Manager: Rei Daniel) is located in the center of Sapporo, will install a unique production "The Onion Soap" in the hotel lobby from February 4 (Wed) to 11 (Wed), 2026, during the Sapporo Snow Festival.
The soup to be served is Hokkaido Onion Soup, a popular product of Greens Kitami Co., Ltd., headquartered in Kitami City, a processed food manufacturer using ingredients from Hokkaido. It is a hospitality unique to Hokkaido in winter, where guests who have returned from visiting the snow festival or going out are warmly welcomed with the scent of onion soup that rises with steam and the surprising production that stops their feet unintentionally.
During the same period, Mercure Sapporo, located in another location in Sapporo, will also offer the same onion soup as welcome soup and offer winter hospitality at two hotels in the city.

5 senses experience of winter Hokkaido starting from the moment you enter the lobby
The moment you step into the hotel lobby, the scent of onion soup that stands up wraps visitors. The feeling that the body relaxes slowly through steam, fragrance, and warmth is freed from the harsh cold outside, is unique to Hokkaido winter. "The faucet with onion soup" was designed as an experiential hospitality that enhances the feeling of traveling.
A cup that permeates the taste of onions from Kitami, Hokkaido
The soup is used onion from the Kitami region of Hokkaido, which boasts the highest production volume in Japan. Kitami onions, which grew up in an environment with long sunshine hours and varying temperature, are characterized by strong sweetness and umami. The onion soup, which is tightly condensed with its deliciousness, warms the cold body from the inside through sightseeing and snow festival tours, and allows you to feel the richness of Hokkaido's food.
When twisting the handle, soup is poured out, memorable surprise production
When twisting the handle of the faucet, it is poured not hot water, but warm onion soup.
A unique device that makes you want to stop and take pictures will impress the memories of your trip with visual surprises. By combining Hokkaido ingredients with the playfulness unique to the hotel, we create a special hospitality that can only be experienced here.
