As the holiday season approaches, Hotel New Otani prepares to enchant guests with its latest Christmas cake offerings.

Extra Super Series, which promises to elevate your holiday celebrations with a taste sensation that is truly indulgent.
Celebrating Tradition and Innovation in Pastry
Since its inception in 1964, Hotel New Otani has been dedicated to providing exceptional dining experiences for everyone, from family gatherings to international conferences. With the appointment of Chef Yudai Moriyama as the 7th chef patissier, the hotel continues to blend traditional techniques with innovative culinary ideas. Moriyama, who has honed his skills in Tokyo, has crafted a collection of Christmas cakes that reflect his dedication to both heritage and modern creativity.
This year's lineup features cakes that cater to diverse taste preferences, ensuring that everyone can find a delightful treat to accompany their festive celebrations. The cakes, available in various sizes, offer something for every occasion, from intimate family dinners to larger festivities.
A Double Delight: The Extra Super Double Shortcake
This season’s standout creation is the
Extra Super Double Shortcake. Building upon the success of previous cakes, it features not just one but two luxurious fruits: the renowned
Hakata Amaou strawberries and the exquisite
Shizuoka melon with a sugar content of over 14. The cake's design allows the flavors of both fruits to shine, complemented by elderflower agar for a refreshing twist.
Using
genmai eggs from free-range chickens fed organic brown rice, the sponge cake provides a moist texture that pairs beautifully with the light and airy cream sourced from Kumamoto. The combination of strawberry and melon offers an exceptional experience, letting you savor two flavors in every bite—a perfect treat for a well-deserved holiday indulgence.
