Mampei Hotel, located in the serene Karuizawa area of Nagano Prefecture, has announced the launch of its exclusive Original Breads in collaboration with the renowned Asanoya Bakery. Beginning August 9, 2025, these new creations will be available only at the Asanoya Mampei Hotel store, situated at the entrance of the hotel.
This exciting lineup features three unique breads that blend the rich tradition of Mampei Hotel with the culinary expertise of Asanoya. The first offering is the 'Earl Grey Scone', which utilizes fragrant Earl Grey tea leaves to create a delightful treat perfect for afternoon tea experiences at home. With a well-aged dough, this scone promises a smooth texture and a burst of aromatic flavor that enchants any afternoon.
The second item, 'Mampei Royal Milk Tea Ozamand', is inspired by the hotel's signature Royal Milk Tea served at its café terrace. This creation features a buttery croissant dough made from domestic wheat, filled with a creamy custard blended with tea leaves and topped with almond cream for a rich, indulgent flavor.
Finally, the 'Mampei Keema Curry Pie' encapsulates the essence of the hotel's famed spicy keema curry. This unique pie is based on the chef's traditional recipe, adjusting the keema to harmonize beautifully with the flaky, buttery pastry. A perfect balance of spiciness wrapped in a crispy shell, this pie is a must-try for any curry lover.
Each of these breads showcases the unique characteristics of Mampei Hotel, making them exclusive delicacies that embody the essence of Karuizawa.
