Experience the Ultimate Summer Treat

This summer, indulge in a luxurious dessert at Hotel New Otani. Their latest creation, the Extra Super Double Shortcake, brings together the best of two seasonal fruits—mask melon and mango—in one delightful treat. Sold exclusively at the Patisserie SATSUKI across three locations in Tokyo, Makuhari, and Osaka, this exquisite dessert promises to elevate any summer occasion.

A Celebration of Quality Ingredients

For over 40 years, Hotel New Otani has been dedicated to perfecting the art of sweets. The rollout of the Super Series and its prestigious counterpart, the Extra Super Series, epitomizes their commitment to creating mouth-watering delights. The new Extra Super Double Shortcake merges two of their most popular cakes: the Extra Super Melon Shortcake, favored year-round, and the limited-time Extra Super Mango Shortcake featuring premium domestically grown mangoes, which are available only during their peak season.

Imagine sinking your teeth into vibrant fresh fruit, where each bite transports you to a world of sweet indulgence. The mask melon, known for its concentrated flavors due to special cultivation methods, is rich and juicy, while the mango, often referred to as the fruit of the sun, offers a refreshingly sweet and melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Impeccable Craftsmanship

The cake's sponge base showcases genmai eggs—an organic choice from hens fed with brown rice—imbuing it with a moist yet light texture reminiscent of a high-end castella. This luxurious base beautifully complements the vibrant mask melon and mango flavors. The cream used in the cake is sourced from Omuta in Kyushu, combined with the delicate sweetness of wasanbon sugar, which enhances the rich taste of the fruits, creating the ideal balance.

Adding a twist, the cake features a refreshing layer of lychee that leaves a crisp aftertaste, while the topping of elderflower-infused kuzuko harmonizes the flavors of both fruits. The cake offers a multi-sensory experience—each bite allows you to savor the distinct flavors of mask melon, then mango, and even both combined.

Perfect for Any Occasion

This summer, treat yourself to the ultimate indulgence with the Extra Super Double Shortcake. Priced at ¥5,940, the cake is ideal for gifting or enjoying after a long year. Whether you're looking for a memorable present or a well-deserved treat for yourself, this is the dessert that can do it all.
