ANoTHER IMPERIAL HOTEL Celebrates One Year with New Delicious Treats

Celebrating One Year of ANoTHER IMPERIAL HOTEL

A Sweet Collaboration
On October 30, 2025, ANoTHER IMPERIAL HOTEL, the online shopping platform managed by the Imperial Hotel, is launching a delightful new gluten-free dessert. This treat, called "Tamba Black Bean and Awaji Lemon Soy Butter Sandwich," is the result of an exciting collaboration with Daimanbando HANARE, a brand known for modern takes on traditional sweets. The partnership marks the hotel’s one-year anniversary and aims to reflect a beautiful blend of tradition and innovation in Japanese confectionery.

A Unique Culinary Offering
The sandwich features carefully selected ingredients such as Tamba black beans from Odagaki Shoten and Awaji's Araren Eureka lemons from Hiraoka Farm. This meticulous selection process, combined with a year-long development period, guarantees a product that not only tastes exceptional but also meets the rising demand for gluten-free options. The combination of savory and sweet flavors in the sandwich is crafted by Yuko Kiji, the pastry chef at the Imperial Hotel, alongside Reika Yasuhara, the representative director of Daimanbando HANARE.

What’s in the Treat?
This gluten-free delicacy is made from rice flour and soy butter, giving it a unique texture and flavor profile. The sandwich's cookie base is interspersed with roasted Tamba black beans, imparting a delightful crunch. Accentuated with a confiture made from the whole Araren Eureka lemon, the dessert provides a refreshing zest that balances the richness of the soy butter cream. Finished off with a touch of chocolate and a dusting of Tamba black bean kinako (roasted soybean flour), the treat is not only delicious but also visually appealing, making it perfect for gifts and snack occasions.

Commitment to Health and Flavor
According to Reika Yasuhara, the goal was to create a sweet treat that could be enjoyed by both children and adults alike. The collaborative effort between Yasuhara and Kiji was driven by a desire to honor Japanese traditions while incorporating modern health-conscious elements into the cuisine. This partnership embodies the fusion of traditional values and contemporary culinary innovation through its theme of “Wayo-sokuhō” (Japanese and Western fusion).

The online mall provides an array of products curated by chefs and experts to offer a truly Japanese experience, featuring unique products from all across the country. For the anniversary celebration, ANoTHER IMPERIAL HOTEL will also showcase a special limited-time campaign that highlights the most popular items from the past year.
