A Cake of Dual Delights: Discover the New Melon and Amaou Shortcake!

Hotel New Otani has unveiled an exciting new addition to their renowned desserts, the 'Extra Super Double Shortcake' featuring the deliciously sweet Amaou strawberries and luxurious Shizuoka melons. This delightful creation is available until March 31, 2026, from the hotel's celebrated pastry shop, Patisserie SATSUKI, located in its Tokyo, Makuhari, and Osaka locations.

What makes this shortcake stand out is its ingenious use of two kinds of premium fruit. The Amaou strawberry, known as the king of strawberries, offers an exquisite balance of sweetness, acidity, and aroma, while the Shizuoka musk melon, with its succulent flesh and rich sweetness, rounds out this perfect pairing. The cake is layered with a light whipped cream made from Kyushu's fresh cream, complemented by wasanbon sugar and vanilla beans, creating a soft and delicate taste.

This luxurious dessert is perfect for holiday gifting or as a well-deserved treat for oneself after a long year. The cake’s layers are meticulously crafted, using rice-fed eggs, which give the sponge an incredibly fluffy texture. Topped with a refreshing elderflower-infused decoration, the cake promises a delightful harmony of flavors.

For a festive treat, this stunning shortcake has just been launched as a whole cake option for Christmas celebrations, providing the perfect centerpiece for family gatherings. Priced at ¥34,000, this 6-8 person cake is set to wow everyone at your holiday table, measuring approximately 18 cm in diameter and 9 cm in height.

In Tokyo, Hotel New Otani will commemorate the launch by offering a special set that includes their much-loved roast chicken and a complimentary glass of Laurent-Perrier La Cuvee for the first 30 guests who make an online reservation. This package is priced at ¥48,000 and is available exclusively through web reservations.

The creation of this remarkable cake is a reflection of the skilled craftsmanship of Yudai Moriyama, the newly appointed seventh chef patissier at Hotel New Otani, who has been trained under the esteemed previous chefs. Moriyama aims to preserve the traditional techniques while embracing new innovations to further enhance the hotel's exceptional dessert offerings.

As winter unfolds, indulge in the Extra Super Double Shortcake as a delightful addition to your celebrations. It is not only a feast for the taste buds but also embodies the spirit of sharing special moments with loved ones. Make this holiday season unforgettable with Hotel New Otani's latest masterpiece— the perfect fusion of flavor and happiness awaits you!
