The Launch of the Mampei Hotel Flower Cookie Can

As summer gives way to autumn, Mampei Hotel in Karuizawa is embracing the change with an exciting limited-time offer: the Flower Cookie Can. Available for purchase from August 25 to November 30, 2025, this elegantly designed can features delicacies inspired by the rich flora and vibrant wildlife surrounding the hotel. Following the successful release of the Mampei Hotel Premium Cookie Can in August 2024, this unique offering channels the charm of the Taisho era, drawing visual inspiration from the flower-patterned menus used in the hotel's Main Dining Room since its establishment.

The Flower Cookie Can perfectly encapsulates a tranquil scene, as pigeons flock to the hotel’s Café Terrace, drawn in by the fragrant aroma of tea. At the center of the collection is a beautifully iced tea-pot shaped cookie adorned with the hotel’s symbol, the lily of the valley, radiating both elegance and delicacy. Surrounding it are charming iced cookies shaped like the visiting pigeons, along with matcha cookies in the shape of leaves, and floral cookies made from purple sweet potato and pumpkin, all beautifully representing the natural splendor of Karuizawa.

Moreover, the exterior of the can is decorated with the historically rich floral design, adding a touch of nostalgia to this high-end cookie can.

A Sensory Experience
Each cookie has been lovingly crafted, offering a moment of indulgence surrounded by flowers, reminiscent of serene afternoons at the café terrace. Both in-store and online, individuals are limited to purchasing up to two cans per person, ensuring that this special batch can be enjoyed by many while supplies last.
