The restaurant will be open for a short time in February through to the first of March, offering a taste of chef Jaime Young's breakfast and brunch dishes. On the menu are signature Breakfast Bungalow dishes like the Coconut S'mores French Toast, the Spam-Egg-and-Shoestring-Potatoes Sandwich and the Hawaiian Chicken Fried Steak Katsu Sandwich, all of which feature bread and rolls from King's Hawaiian. The pop-up restaurant is full of [photo-worthy spots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/niseko-confidential), including an ocean-inspired ball pit and a mountaintop swing that appears as if it's high up in the clouds.
