A Unique Dessert Experience Awaits at THE LIVELY Osaka Honmachi

Starting September 1, 2025, THE LIVELY Osaka Honmachi hotel is set to introduce its latest limited-edition autumn dessert, the 'Sweet Potato Trot'. This innovative sweet potato dish is designed to surprise and delight patrons with its textural complexities and rich flavors.

Operated by Global Agents, which boasts a portfolio of boutique hotels across Japan, THE LIVELY hotel chain strives to provide guests with exceptional experiences that combine delicious cuisine with artistic presentation. The hotel’s dedicated chefs infuse their culinary techniques with creative freedom to create unique desserts that are not only visually stunning but also tantalizing to the palate.

The Star Ingredient: Beniharu Sweet Potato

The 'Sweet Potato Trot' showcases the beloved Beniharu sweet potato, renowned for its natural sweetness. This dessert takes a bold step beyond traditional sweet potato pie by layering five distinct flavors that collaborate to create a delightful explosion of taste and texture.

Layer 1: Citrus and Spice

The first layer features sweet lemon preserves made from Beniharu and a crunchy cinnamon crumble, offering a zesty start that beautifully complements the richness of the sweet potato.

Layer 2: Moussed Perfection

Moving to the second layer, a mousse combining baked Beniharu sweet potato and white chocolate delivers a soft melt-in-your-mouth experience, pulling together flavors that deepen the overall dessert experience.

Layer 3: Marshmallow and Rum

The third layer introduces a texture twist with rum-infused marshmallow mousse, adding an adult flair while enhancing the 'fluffy' mouthfeel of the dessert.

Layer 4: Creamy Delight

Next, a whipped cream known as crème fraîche envelops the dessert, uniting the various layers into a creamy wonder that balances sweetness without being overly sugary.

Layer 5: A Touch of Toasted Butter

Finally, the dessert is crowned with a luscious warm foam of burnt butter and cinnamon, which intensifies the flavor profile and adds richness to the overall tasting experience.

An All-Sensory Experience

Each 'Sweet Potato Trot' dish is plated with theatrical flair, utilizing smoked sweet potato skins for an extraordinary presentation. Guests can also indulge their creativity by adding a special purple sweet potato sauce for an additional layer of flavor. The experience is designed not only to please the taste buds but also to create a memorable visual and aromatic feast.
