90th Anniversary Celebration of the Alps Pavilion

The iconic Alps Pavilion at the Mampei Hotel is thrilled to announce a special event celebrating its 90th anniversary. Kicking off on July 1, 2026, the celebration will feature the launch of the delightful "Jam Scone Set," perfect for enjoying during a lovely tea time at the hotel's café terrace.

A Taste of History

Karuizawa is known not just for its stunning landscapes and fresh air, but also for its rich culinary history. The tradition of making jam in this region dates back to the Meiji era, when missionaries taught locals the craft, enabling it to flourish. Over the years, jam has become a beloved souvenir for visitors and locals alike, intertwining with the everyday life of the residents.

In celebration of this legacy, the Jam Scone Set will feature two unique flavors of jam. The first is a classic "Shinshu Apple Jam," known for its refreshing taste. The second new offering is a creative blend of "Rhubarb, Pumpkin, and Orange Jam." This jam harnesses the tartness of rhubarb, a vibrant vegetable cultivated in Karuizawa’s cool climate since the early Showa era. The addition of fresh orange aroma and the smooth sweetness of pumpkin creates a genuinely balanced and complex flavor, perfect for pairing with scones.

Indulge in the Jam Scone Set

The scones included in this set are not just any regular scones; they are designed beautifully with the Alps Pavilion insignia for a delightful presentation. Whether slathering the jams generously on the scones or mixing them into tea for a luxurious Russian tea experience, the Jam Scone Set promises a truly enjoyable culinary journey.

The set is designed to reignite and experience the rich flavors rooted in Karuizawa’s lifestyle since the time of the Alps Pavilion's establishment. Come and indulge in this unique set while enjoying the serene atmosphere of the café terrace.
