Experience the Luxury of Christmas at Hotel New Otani

The festive season is fast approaching, and what better way to celebrate than with exquisitely crafted cakes from Hotel New Otani! Known for its dedication to quality and creativity, the hotel will commence reservations for its sumptuous Christmas cakes on October 1, 2026. Guests can expect a delightful array of options, each crafted with the finest ingredients that the esteemed hotel is famous for.

A Sweet Selection to Savor

Highlighting the offerings is the Extra Super Double Short Cake. This 18 cm delight features a decadent combination of Hakata Amaou strawberries and Shizuoka melons. The strawberries are cherished for their rich sweetness, while the melons are lauded for their high sugar content exceeding 14 degrees. Each layer is crafted with meticulous attention, using rice-fed eggs from free-range hens alongside creamy toppings from Kumamoto's fresh cream. The result is a beautifully moist and airy texture, further enhanced by an unexpected layer of lychee, bringing a refreshing aftertaste to every bite. This cake promises an indulgence like no other, ideal for both personal treats and festive celebrations with loved ones.

Priced at ¥35,000, this cake serves 6 to 8 people and is a testament to patisserie excellence.

New Decadent Creations

Another seasonal highlight is the Amaou Frommage Noël, a Christmas-exclusive short cake that showcases the rich flavors of cream cheese. The cake's base is a fluffy soufflé, layered with a silky cream cheese ganache paired with the signature sweetness and slight tartness of the Hakata Amaou strawberries. Priced at ¥10,800, this delicacy serves 6 to 8, providing a delightful balance of flavors that is both rich yet light, making it a sophisticated addition to any festive table.

Classic Delights Reimagined

Adding to the traditional selection is the New Super Amaou Shortcake, featuring the star ingredient, the Hakata Amaou strawberry. This cake beautifully combines two types of sponges — one made with sun-fed eggs and another infused with black syrup for moistness. These elements, when layered with light fresh cream, create a heavenly fusion of flavors. Available in sizes serving 6 to 10, this cake is priced between ¥15,660 and ¥18,900.

For a more indulgent experience, the New Extra Super Amaou Shortcake incorporates 36 juicy Amaou strawberries and two unique sponge recipes designed to enhance the cake's essence, delivering an incredible taste sensation in every slice at a price of ¥23,760.

The Espresso-Laden Treat

For chocolate aficionados, the Super Opera Legere offers a brilliant 14-layer structure, delicately interspersed with espresso-flavored layers, dark ganache, milk ganache, and caramel buttercream. At ¥21,600, this cake provides a luxurious and rich flavor profile, ideal for an adult Christmas gathering.

Seasonal Traditions: Stollen and Roasted Chicken

Moreover, guests can explore two unique interpretations of the traditional German Christmas cake, Stollen. The New Edo Stollen features a delicate fusion of smooth red bean paste, black honey, and walnuts, presenting a unique taste experience reminiscent of refined Japanese sweets.
