Celebrate Christmas with Exquisite Cakes from Keio Plaza Hotel Hachioji

The Keio Plaza Hotel Hachioji, located in Tokyo's Hachioji City, is excited to announce the launch of its exclusive Christmas cake lineup, available for pre-order starting October 1. Guided by Head Pastry Chef Naoki Yamada, who has spent the last six months perfecting these treats, the hotel is set to offer a total of seven delectable options — six Christmas cakes, along with one delicious pound cake.

Family-Friendly Designs with a Magical Touch

Designed with families in mind, the cakes feature whimsical themes that are sure to delight both kids and adults alike. One standout option is the "Il Neige," a charming cheese cake decorated with fluffy snow and designed to resemble a snowy wonderland. Made using three types of gourmet cheese, this cake promises a rich and delightful flavor.

Expanding on last year’s lineup, the hotel’s traditional shortcake comes in two sizes this year, with a new twist on the popular "Fette" cake, offering two delightful flavors in a single cake. The focus is on delivering high quality and a variety of flavors, ensuring a memorable holiday experience.

Understanding the current economic climate, the hotel has made efforts to keep prices accessible while providing early booking discounts and special bundle offers, allowing families to fully enjoy the festive season without concern.

A Touch of Elegance for Smaller Gatherings

For couples and small gatherings of friends, the selection emphasizes refined aesthetics and sophisticated flavors. The "La Joie " is a mousse cake that combines two varieties of tea and is adorned with white chocolate decorations inspired by wreaths.

Another exquisite option, "Sourire," layers flavors of French chestnut and roasted tea for a delicately crafted dessert that is as beautiful as it is delicious. Each cake has been meticulously designed to not only celebrate the flavors but also serve as a perfect treat for special moments or social media highlights.
