Unique Sweets from Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo at Ginza Mitsukoshi

Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, located in Bunkyo, Tokyo, is set to introduce an exciting pop-up store for sweets at Ginza Mitsukoshi from May 27 to June 2, 2026. This marks a significant event as it is the hotel's first foray into offering a selection of desserts in this celebrated shopping destination. The store will showcase popular items, limited-edition selections, and new creations crafted by the hotel's skilled chefs, all celebrating the brand's commitment to excellence and hospitality.

A Celebrated Introduction to Ginza

This initiative aims to present the beloved sweets that have primarily catered to hotel guests in a more accessible setting, allowing a wider audience to experience these culinary delights. The concept of Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, "Welcoming the World, Embracing Japan," aligns perfectly with the global audience that frequents Ginza Mitsukoshi. This collaboration signifies a fusion of values and a step towards expanding the hotel's outreach.

The pop-up will feature a variety of exclusive items, but three unique offerings are especially noteworthy:

1. Premium Shortcake - A delicious creation using wasanbon sugar layered between three types of fresh cream, this elegantly crafted cake represents the pinnacle of Japanese dessert artistry.
2. Cube Choux Fruity Rouge - A delightful cube-shaped choux pastry filled with vanilla cream and fresh red fruits, providing a refreshing taste and appealing presentation.
3. Ultimate Tiramisu - Created by the talented chef Kyotaka Kawakami, this dessert was selected as a finalist in the prestigious Tiramisu World Trophy in Italy. With chocolate crumble for texture and a rich aroma from Amaretto di Sarono, this dessert balances indulgence with a light finish.

The pop-up will also bring back the long-loved Walnut Bread, a specialty marked by its rich walnut flavor and perfectly balanced saltiness, which has garnered significant acclaim for its return.

Additionally, inspired by the summer garden exhibition, the Tokyo Sea of Clouds Pudding will also be featured, allowing guests to enjoy the essence of the hotel's ambiance in a delightful dessert.

Scones Made with Love and Tradition

Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo has a rich history in supporting the afternoon tea culture in Japan since the 1990s, famously starting the trend in Tokyo's hotel scene. To celebrate this history, the pop-up will offer exclusive scones with flavors that can only be enjoyed at Ginza Mitsukoshi:

• - Caramel Orange Scone - A delightful blend of caramel and orange zest.
• - Tea Berry Scone - A glamorous scone combining berry-infused tea and white chocolate, perfect for tea lovers.
• - Rye Scone - Made using local wheat and rye, offering a unique rustic flavor.

Each scone is crafted to achieve an ideal texture, crispy on the outside yet soft and fluffy on the inside, the result of extensive testing and refinement.
