New Year Sweets and Breads at Grand Hyatt Tokyo

As we approach the year 2026, the Grand Hyatt Tokyo is preparing to welcome the new year with unique and delicious offerings at its "New Year Sweets and Breads" event, running from December 30, 2025, to January 31, 2026. Located in the bustling heart of Roppongi, this luxurious hotel invites guests to indulge in delicious creations that honor the zodiac sign of the Horse, an emblem of success and victory.

Unique Offerings for 2026

The centerpiece of this celebration is the enchanting Horse-themed icing cookies, designed meticulously by skilled pastry chefs. Each cookie is adorned with intricate icing features that capture the horse's expression and mane, ensuring each piece is a work of art. These come in two sizes: a large cookie representing the Horse and a set of four smaller cookies showcasing traditional New Year motifs such as Mount Fuji and Daruma dolls. They make for perfect gifts for your loved ones during the festive season.

In addition to the cookies, the bakery will introduce a new creation known as "Horse Bread" inspired by the horseshoe, a symbol of good fortune in many cultures. The bread is made from a blend of rye and domestic wheat, incorporating dried strawberries into the dough, which adds a delightful bite and a refreshing tangy flavor.

A Taste of Tradition with Galette des Rois

Continuing the long-standing tradition of the French New Year, the hotel will also feature a classic dessert: the Galette des Rois, or King's Cake. Traditionally, this pastry includes a small figurine called a "fève" hidden inside; the person who finds this hidden piece is said to be blessed with good fortune throughout the year. At Grand Hyatt Tokyo, the cake is crafted with almond cream, and instead of the fève, guests will find a separate almond for a chance at their own good luck.

Moreover, guests can savor the flavors of another beloved European treat, the Berliner, a traditional jam-filled pastry enjoyed in Germany on New Year's Eve. Under the supervision of the hotel's skilled chef, this fluffy delight will be filled with homemade berry jam, combining strawberries and raspberries for a mouthwatering experience.

Ideal for New Year Celebrations

The exquisite New Year sweets and breads crafted by the award-winning pastry and bakery teams at Grand Hyatt Tokyo make ideal gifts for homecoming or New Year greetings. Each piece is made with care and attention to detail, ensuring that they bring joy and sweetness to all who share them during the celebrations.
