Exciting Launch of Limited Edition ‘Mark and City Castella’ in Shibuya
This September 1, 2025, a new culinary delight will grace the Shibuya scene—the exclusive 'Mark and City Castella,' is a collaboration between Shibuya Mark City and Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu. Located conveniently at the hotel's lounge, Estacion Cafe, this takeout offering has been designed to commemorate the 25th anniversary of both Shibuya Mark City and the hotel itself.
For over two decades, Shibuya Mark City has been a staple in the vibrant tapestry of Shibuya, marking its territory with a distinctive blend of culture, commerce, and community. It has transformed human traffic patterns around Shibuya Station since its inception in April 2000, aiming to be more than just a hub for the youth but a beacon for adults too—especially targeting women in their late twenties and beyond. This unique approach helped solidify its status as an 'adult communication space' in the heart of one of Tokyo’s most bustling districts.
The limited edition 'Mark and City Castella' is more than just a sweet treat; it's a heartfelt tribute to Shibuya’s beloved characters—Mark and City, adorable puppy friends who represent curiosity and joy. The flavor profile features an airy texture, imbued with the distinct aroma of butter and vanilla oil. Each cake is meticulously crafted using a time-honored method that involves hand-mixing the batter to achieve a fine, delicate finish that drifts toward a European pastry style, setting it apart from the traditional Nagasaki castella.
With its wonderful fluffiness, the 'Mark and City Castella' aspires to enhance daily life in Shibuya, inviting everyone to indulge in the memories and future of this iconic area.
