Spring is synonymous with renewal and joy, and what better way to immerse yourself in the season than at the Hotel New Otani, where the Amaou Sweets Fair is extending its delightful run until May 6, 2026? This unique celebration features a variety of exquisite Amaou strawberry desserts that capture the essence of spring, providing the perfect backdrop for both personal indulgence and festive gatherings.

Luxurious Shortcake – A Seasonal Treat

Among the highlights of this fair is the Extra Super Double Shortcake (Melon & Amaou), priced at ¥5,616. This luxurious cake, featuring the famed Hakata Amaou strawberries only available during their peak season, offers a symphony of flavors. Accompanying the strawberries is a selection of the finest Shizuoka melons, each with a sugar content exceeding 14 degrees, specially selected by the pastry chef for their exquisite taste. The sponge is crafted from brown rice eggs from organic-fed chickens, and the rich cream sourced from Omuta, Kyushu brings these two fruits together in an unparalleled dessert experience. Ideal for any spring celebration, this cake is a true representation of seasonal luxury.

Delightful Crosissant for Spring Gifting

If you’re looking for the perfect keepsake to bring to your next event, consider the Amaou Croissant for ¥972. This limited-edition treat was designed to encapsulate the essence of fresh Amaou strawberries. It features a unique non-melting jelly that showcases the fruit's flavor perfectly, complemented by a specially crafted dough that is not overly sweet. This croissant is generously filled with a rich strawberry essence and topped with freeze-dried Amaou pieces, offering a delightful tasting experience from the first bite to the last.

Pancake Paradise – A Spring Celebration

Not to be missed is the Hotel New Otani Special Amaou Pancake, available for ¥3,630. This dish has been a favorite of many guests over the years, renowned for its fluffy texture achieved through a blend of ricotta, cream cheese, and mascarpone. The pancakes are made using the hotel's exclusive White Cereal, resulting in a light and elegant finish. One of the pancakes is caramelized for an added textural contrast, and it is beautifully presented with a generous five pieces of Hakata Amaou strawberries, strawberry jelly, matcha custard cream, black honey bean paste, and a rich specialty cream infused with vanilla beans. Finished off with an Amaou macaron, this dish truly is a celebration of spring.
