Westin Sendai Launches Traditional Christmas Sweets 2025

The Westin Hotel Sendai, located in the Aoba district, is excited to announce the debut of its special Christmas sweets collection starting December 1, 2025. This year, the hotel brings a delightful assortment of traditional Christmas confections from around the world, including the beloved German Stollen and Italian Panettone. With an emphasis on festive flavors and holiday spirit, these treats promise to add warmth to your celebrations.

Two Variations of Stollen

Among the highlights is the classic German Stollen, a sweet bread typically consumed in thin slices during the holiday season. Westin Sendai presents two distinct versions: the sophisticated Bourbon Stollen and the refreshing Berry Stollen.

• - Bourbon Stollen (Size: Large - 12cm diameter x 7cm height / Price: ¥2,700; Small - 9cm diameter x 5cm height / Price: ¥1,620)

The Bourbon Stollen combines luscious raisins, figs, and orange peels steeped in Marker's Mark Bourbon whiskey alongside three spices. Mixed with a variety of nuts, this artisanal bread is baked to perfection and matures over time, delivering an ever-deepening aroma and flavor that truly celebrates adult indulgence.

• - Berry Stollen (Size: 14cm length x 8cm width x 7cm height / Price: ¥2,400; Half size - 7cm length x 8cm width x 7cm height / Price: ¥1,440)

The Berry Stollen features a vibrant strawberry-flavored dough mixed with dried cranberries, blueberries, pistachios, and walnuts, resulting in a deliciously fruity experience. Its cheerful pink hue is inviting, and the flavors of chocolate meld beautifully with the refreshing smell of strawberries, making it a sweet addition to your festivities.

Embrace Italian Traditions

Next, indulge in Italy's classic festive offerings: the traditional Panettone and the unique Pandoro Marrone.

• - Panettone (Size: 11cm diameter x 13cm height / Price: ¥1,300)

This charming treat encapsulates the essence of Italian baking by allowing locally-crafted sake from Miyagi to soak dried apple, yuzu, orange, and cranberry. The concoction is blended with an egg-rich dough to create a moist, flavorful cake that perfectly embodies holiday celebrations with a Japanese twist.

• - Pandoro Marrone (Size: 8cm diameter x 9cm height / Price: ¥600)

This treat resembles a cupcake and is made from a light, fluffy dough crafted from Miyagi prefecture flour, honey from Marumori, Hokkaido butter, and egg yolks. Topped with a rich cream blend of cream cheese and mascarpone, along with a luscious chestnut cream sourced from Kumamoto, this dessert brings a taste of Italy to Japan's holiday table.

Festive Selling Period and Location

The Christmas sweets will be available from December 1 to December 25, 2025, at the Symphony Restaurant located on the 26th floor of the hotel. The sweets will be available for purchase from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM daily. Guests can also reserve these delightful treats online, but be mindful that supplies may be limited.
