My friend V told me about her favorite place in Japan to eat and If I was there I am sure it would be mine too. It's a place called
Sweets Paradise. It's an all-you-can eat dessert restaurant, and for those who enjoy sweets it must be basically heaven on earth!
Sweets Paradise is like sweet-toothed, chubby kid’s dream come true. The premise or “CHALLENGE” is simple: you pay ¥1,480 (about $15.00) and they give you 90 minutes to gorge yourself into a diabetic coma, as the sign says, Cake! Pasta! Sandwich! Drink!
A quick guide to visitors to Japan on a budget (or lovers of all-you-can-eat deals in general) here are the characters to look out for when scanning restaurant signage
- The characters 食べ放題 (tabehoudai) mean “all you can eat.
- ”
Similarly, the characters 飲み放題 (nomihoudai) mean “all you can drink.”
- The characters バイキング (baikingu) mean “Viking” and is a slang Japanese term that refers to a “buffet.”
“Dessert Viking” is the theme of Sweets Paradise. The term “Viking” probably has its origins in the more appropriate Swedish word, “Smörgåsbord”.
Have you ever been to a dessert buffet like this? What kind of desserts would you consume in 90 minutes?

WOW! I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE!
I don't think I would want to eat deserts in Japan.. I would be far too paranoid about the ingredients found within.
a restaurant that encourages binge-eating? no thanks :/
plus I'm vegan :)
@SodomyClown@xanga - and why exactly may i ask ?
It's in a foreign language? @tiffnyny@xanga
I don't know too much about deserts in Japan but I have a huge sweet tooth, I wouldn't go crazy but I think I would visit!
zomg! I'll sample all of the cakes
everytime that I go to a normal buffet, my favorite foods are in the dessert area, so this entire buffet dedicated to desserts is dreamy
@SodomyClown@xanga - im sure the ingredients are normal, what do you think are in the deserts?
YES. I would go. ;_;
I have been to a $30 "Viking Buffet" several times at a hotel in Shinjiku, Tokyo. The pastries are just like French, German, & Italian pastries, only smaller and usually not as sweet as American pastries. And yes, sometimes you have to look out for the mayo & corn pastries & pizza.
ah man, I'm just wondering how much I could eat until I get tired
I'm not big on desserts :( But I'd still try this
omg i want i want i want ;_;
lol i wouldn't make this a habit, sure.. but i would want to do this once in my life =]
This would test how much dessert I really could eat. I've been known to puke at buffets, just so I can empty my stomach and eat more.
omg, i want to try this. American pastries are too sweet for me, i'm sure these would strike a good balance. Though i like salty foods more than sweet, but i would still eat lots!
@explosive@xanga - That's dedication right there. And disgusting kind of. but dedication
OM NOM NOM NOM
@explosive@xanga - Uhhh.. I don't think that's normal.
My husband would never leave this place. He's probably have an orgasm just walking in the front door.
The cops and I would have to pry his cold, dead, happy fingers off of the food trough area.
Oh my gosh...I don't think I would ever leave
My stomach hurts from thinking about it... No thank you.
i would gain 5 pounds in one sitting, i'm sure of it.
I don't like too much dessert but this does sound good.
Pastas and sandwiches are sweets?
