Limited Edition 'Suica Penguin Sweets' Launching This Autumn at Hotel Metropolitan

As the crisp autumn air settles in, Hotel Metropolitan is thrilled to announce the return of their limited edition 'Suica Penguin Sweets' starting September 1, 2026. Located in the heart of Ikebukuro, Tokyo, the hotel's Cake & Bakery Shop, managed by General Manager Kenji Momotani, will offer a delightful array of seasonal pastries. The star of the show is the charming chestnut-shaped 'Marron Cake', featuring the adorable face of the famous Suica Penguin.

Emphasizing seasonal flavors, this year’s offering also includes the popular 'Suica Penguin Pudding' and the 'Suica Penguin Seasonal Cake', both creatively reimagined with autumn’s bounty—pumpkin and pear. These confections are not only visually appealing but also crafted by skilled hotel pastry chefs, ensuring a rich and authentic taste experience.

The 'Marron Cake' is priced at ¥720. It combines tender chestnuts from Kasama and rich marron bavarois, enveloped in a chocolate mousse made from Valrhona's 70% cocoa. This lighter sweet allows the deep flavors of the marron bavarois to shine, providing a delightful texture as you bite through the chocolate cookies and biscuit segments within.

The 'Suica Penguin Pudding', available for ¥500, boasts a creamy blend of Jersey milk and Okukuji eggs, elevated by sweet Ebisu pumpkin. Topped with a subtly bitter caramel sauce, this dessert creates a harmony of flavors that is simply irresistible.

Lastly, the 'Suica Penguin Seasonal Cake', priced at ¥650, is made with Valrhona's caramel chocolate, creating a rich but not overly sweet indulgence. It features poached pears and pear mousse, complemented by a luscious caramel coulis, all wrapped in a chocolate mousse shell. The delightful crunch of hazelnut biscuits and feuilletine provides a perfect contrast to the creamy layers.

Visit the Cake & Bakery Shop on the first floor, open from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM until November 30, 2026, to treat yourself. For inquiries, you can reach the restaurant bookings at 03-3980-5533 from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Reservations are also available through the official website.
