Overview
- The Japan Pavilion stand quietly reopened around noon on December 19 after refurbishment that reconfigured doors and windows, including new cherry blossom window panels.
- Guests now order at an exterior side window and step inside via side doors only to pick up, creating separate lines and pickup areas.
- The updated lineup centers on sake, plum wine, and beer flights, with the Violet Sake back at $14 and three new cocktails—Green Grace, Sora Sky, and Haru Pink—plus a cocktail flight.
- Non-alcoholic staples such as sodas and green tea are gone, several former seasonal drinks including Sparkling Sake did not return, and prices are higher than before the closure.
- Operating hours are reported as 12 PM to park close, with some outlets also noting a new air conditioner and a plan to rotate a seasonal offering.
