A Taste of Summer: Mango Sweets at Hotel New Otani
As summer approaches, the Hotel New Otani in Tokyo is set to delight dessert lovers with an array of new mango-inspired treats available at its renowned Patisserie SATSUKI. From now until early August 2026, guests can experience the luxurious flavors of “the fruit of the sun,” featuring domestic mangoes at their peak freshness.
Signature Creation: Super Mango Shortcake
One of the highlights of this summer's dessert menu is the
Super Mango Shortcake, priced at ¥2,700 for takeout. This delightful cake showcases the rich fragrance and sweetness of premium domestic mangoes, carefully layered with light whipped cream and a delicate sponge cake. The sponge itself incorporates “Sun Eggs,” a prized ingredient from Nagasaki's famed castella. By blending wasanbon sugar and cane sugar, the cake achieves a depth of flavor while maintaining a moist and fluffy texture, ensuring that each bite is a celebration of summer.
The whipped cream, sourced from Kumamoto's Omuta region, enhances the mango's sweetness, providing a light, balancing finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate. The craft of combining high-quality ingredients creates a sophisticated dessert that truly embodies the essence of the season.
A Luxurious Experience: New Extra Super Mango Shortcake
For those seeking an even more indulgent experience, the
New Extra Super Mango Shortcake is an extraordinary offering priced at ¥4,860, limited to just 20 pieces per day. This luxurious creation utilizes approximately one full domestic mango, enveloped in a layer of passion fruit-infused kuzu (a Japanese starch). The cake’s stunning appearance reflects its exquisite taste, with the chef patissier hand-selecting the mangoes every morning to ensure optimal quality. Due to the nature of the ingredients, the cake's availability is not fixed, inviting guests to savor this fleeting summer delight quickly.
The sponge uses organic brown rice eggs, producing a subtle yet rich flavor that beautifully complements the mango's natural sweetness. With a unique two-layered whipped cream design, the first layer features light Omuta cream, while the second layer blends mango and passion fruit flavors to create an aromatic symphony of tastes. Completing the layers, a smooth and refreshing lychee layer adds a touch of summer's zest, resulting in a dessert that feels both lavish and light.
A Tropical Treat: Mango Tart and More
Guests can also enjoy other mango-inspired sweets perfect for a summer gift or simply to relish at home. The
Mango Tart, priced at ¥1,674, features a crispy tart crust layered with caramel sauce, caramel custard cream, and coconut jelly, topped with rich mango and accented with lychee. This delightful combination offers a tropical taste that beautifully balances the tartness of caramel with the sweetness of mango.
Additionally, dessert lovers can indulge in the
Iwaizumi Yogurt Jelly with mango for ¥1,674 and a vibrant
Mango Jelly priced at ¥1,782, both delightful choices on hot summer days. Each dessert offers a refreshing experience, perfect for enjoying the heat of the season.
Seasonal Treats: Strawberry, Matcha, and Mango Festival
Until June 30, 2026, guests can also partake in the
Strawberry, Matcha, and Mango Sweets Fair, celebrating the unique qualities of each ingredient in an exciting variety of desserts. This festival highlights seasonal delights that capture the essence of summer flavors.
