Experience the Autumn Delight: The New 'Super Mont Blanc' at Hotel New Otani

The Autumn Treat: 'Super Mont Blanc' at Hotel New Otani

As the leaves begin to change colors and autumn settles in, it's time to savor one of the season's finest delights: the 'Super Mont Blanc.' Starting from September 1, 2026, this exquisite dessert will be available at the 'Patisserie SATSUKI' located in the direct-managed hotels of Hotel New Otani in Tokyo, Makuhari, and Osaka until mid-January 2027.

Crafted with the essence of Japanese chestnuts, this dessert combines tradition with culinary innovation. The 'Super Mont Blanc' has been brought to life through the passion of the fifth generation pastry chef, Shinsuke Nakajima, who now serves as the Executive Chef of Hotel New Otani. His commitment to showcasing the true flavor of Japanese chestnuts has been passed down through successive generations of pastry chefs, ensuring not only the preservation of traditional tastes but also an evolution that reflects contemporary sensibilities.

This year, the seventh generation pastry chef, Yudai Moriyama, has enhanced the rich aroma and delicate sweetness of the Japanese chestnuts. The 'Super Mont Blanc' represents a perfect balance of tradition and modern flair and showcases the hotel’s dedication to fine seasonal offerings.

Exquisite Ingredients

The chestnuts used in the 'Super Mont Blanc' are selected from top-quality sources, ensuring that only the finest ingredients are used. In September, the dessert features the renowned Hyogo Prefecture 'Ginyose' chestnuts, celebrated for their large, round form, powerful sweetness, and elegant texture accompanied by a robust fragrance.

The base of this creation is an almond tart made with Italian candied chestnuts, infused with the rich flavors of wasanbon sugar and vanilla. This decadent layer is topped with a smooth yet chewy 'Wasanbon vanilla mochi' and a light elderflower meringue coated in white chocolate, adding a delightful crunch. Each layer is thoughtfully designed to engage the palate and deliver a luxurious experience.

Moreover, the harmonious blend of vanilla’s rich aroma and the refreshing tang of cream cheese in the ganache sets the stage for the final touch: a delicate Mont Blanc cream meticulously piped by our pastry chefs. A secret ingredient, 'Hingya no shio' from Aogashima Island, enhances the overall sweetness while adding depth to the flavor profile, resulting in a complex yet harmonious dessert.

Experience the Tradition

Take a moment to immerse yourself in this autumnal indulgence. The 'Super Mont Blanc' promises a symphony of flavors, from the aromatic vanilla to the deep essence of chestnut, and a variety of textures that will linger in your memory.
