Experience the Ultimate Dual-Flavor Shortcake at Hotel New Otani

The Hotel New Otani is welcoming back its seasonal masterpiece, Extra Super Double Shortcake featuring the delicious combination of melon and mango. Available exclusively at Patisserie SATSUKI in three Hotel New Otani locations (Tokyo, Makuhari, and Osaka), this luxurious treat is perfect for the early summer season.

The foundation of the Extra Super Double Shortcake is rooted in the hotel’s 40-year history of excellence in pastry-making. Known for its commitment to quality, the hotel carefully selects only the best ingredients and employs meticulous techniques to create an experience that can be found nowhere else. Following the success of the initial Super Shortcake, the Extra Super Series was born to celebrate the hotel's 50th anniversary, marking its commitment to evolve and surprise customers with new culinary delights.

Luxurious Ingredients for a Rich Flavor Experience

The star components of this exquisite shortcake are hand-picked mask melon and luscious Japan-grown mango, which add a refreshing twist to every bite. The mask melon is cultivated with utmost care, producing only one melon per vine to ensure its quality and flavor are unparalleled. On the other hand, the mango offers a rich sweetness with a melt-in-your-mouth texture, embodying the essence of what is often called the “fruit of the sun.” These seasonal fruits are combined to create a decadent dessert, allowing guests to relish the taste of summer.

In addition to the fruits, this luxurious shortcake features specially sourced brown rice eggs from free-range chickens that feed on organic rice. The unique texture of the cake, light yet rich, is achieved through these carefully selected eggs. The fresh cream used in the cake hails from Omuta, Kyushu, and is blended with wasanbon sugar for a gentle sweetness and a hint of vanilla bean aroma. This combination results in a smooth cream that accentuates the overall taste of the dessert.

A Symphony of Flavors

To elevate the flavor experience even further, layers of juicy lychee are added between the cake layers, creating a light and sophisticated aftertaste. Topping off the cake is an elderflower jelly, which brings a fragrant sweetness that complements the rich flavors of the fruits.

This exquisite creation allows dessert lovers to experience two distinct flavors in a single cake, making it a unique indulgence that appeals to all palates.

The Vision of Chef Yudai Moriyama

At the helm of this culinary artistry is the newly appointed Chef Patissier Yudai Moriyama, the seventh in line at Hotel New Otani. With years of training in Tokyo, Moriyama is dedicated to honoring the traditional techniques passed down from his predecessors while continuously seeking innovation. The Extra Super Double Shortcake reflects this fusion of tradition and modernity, standing as a testament to his creative prowess.
