Indulge in the Autumn Delights of Chestnuts and Grapes at the New Otani Hotel's Limited-Time Sweets Fair

Experience the Autumn Treats at New Otani Hotels

This fall, from September 1, 2026, guests at the New Otani Hotels in Tokyo, Makuhari, and Osaka will be delighted by a seasonal treat, the "Chestnut and Grape Sweets Fair." This limited-time event will showcase a variety of exquisite sweets featuring the rich flavors of chestnuts and grapes, crafted by master pastry chefs.

The Star of the Fair: Super Mont Blanc

One of the highlights of the sweets fair is the standout dessert, the "Super Mont Blanc," priced at ¥3,780 for takeout. This remarkable creation features carefully selected Japanese chestnuts at their peak freshness. This year, the pastry chefs have chosen the renowned "Ginyose" variety from Hyogo Prefecture, which is celebrated for its refined sweetness and texture. To enhance the chestnut’s rich flavor, only a minimal amount of fresh cream is used, allowing the natural taste to shine through.

What sets the "Super Mont Blanc" apart is its unique layering and use of high-quality ingredients. The dessert includes an almond tart filled with Italian marron glacé, and a delicate vanilla mochi made with wasanbon. Additionally, a white chocolate-coated elderflower meringue and a vanilla and cream cheese ganache are artfully layered, topped off with a pinch of salt from the remote Hinishima Island, creating a balanced depth of flavors.

More Chestnut Delights

In addition to the "Super Mont Blanc," the sweets fair features other chestnut-themed creations such as the "Super Marron Short Cake," priced at ¥3,024 for takeout. This cake highlights Nagasaki Prefecture's "Taiyo Egg," combining it with wasanbon sugar and mikan honey to create a fluffy texture. Inside, you’ll find tender steamed chestnuts and a rich matcha custard cream, creating an exquisite shelter of flavors. Each bite brings a medley of textures, enhanced by the addition of Hinishima salt, deep black syrup anko, and small mochi.

Another tempting option is the "New Marron Croissant," available for ¥756 for takeout. This pastry features a croissant enveloped in a smooth chestnut paste, topped with a gentle layer of bronze chocolate, providing a crispy texture combined with the comforting sweetness of chestnuts.

Sweet Pairings from Grapes

The fair also showcases grape delights, like the "New Extra Super Grape Short Cake" for ¥3,564, available for takeout but limited to 20 per day. This colorful dessert boasts a rich blend of two grape varieties: the sweet Shine Muscat, known for its exquisite aroma, and the flavorful domestic Pione grape, bursting with tart sweetness. Exclusively in this cake, guests can enjoy both fruity flavors harmoniously.

Refreshing Grape Desserts

Indulge in another treat with the "Iwate Yogurt Jelly (Grape)" priced at ¥1,404, and the "Grape Jelly" for ¥1,674. These glass desserts capture the rich flavors of autumn, combining Iwate Prefecture yogurt jelly with the fresh fruits and grape jelly.
