CHRISTMAS CAKE
COLLECTION
2025 KEIO PLAZA HOTEL

Our Christmas cake features delicate chocolate decorations in the shape of a Christmas wreath and candles. The wreath is made entirely of chocolate, and the decorations such as roses, apples, red currants, acorns, and leaves are all edible and delicious. The base of the wreath is made from our hotel's traditional almond sable, “Stangen,” and beneath it are five mini cakes, each with a different flavor, wrapped in chocolate film.

This is an evolved Bush de Noel, with an owl motif watching over the quiet night of a deep winter forest. Our pastry chefs used a generous amount of high-cacao chocolate, carefully selected for its aroma and flavor, to create a taste befitting the Christmas season. Inside the chocolate bark, which mimics tree bark, are two hidden flavors: a rich chocolate terrine with a hint of bittersweet orange peel, and a cherry-infused Black Forest cake. On top, a white owl made of white chocolate sits quietly on a bed of gianduja, representing the dense branches and leaves of a tree.

This premium shortcake, which can only be savored during Christmas, is made with sponge cake baked using domestic wheat and Nagoya Cochin eggs, an original blend of fine textured fresh cream, and high sugar content domestic strawberries, creating a perfect Harmony of flavors.

The two different flavors of pistachio & mascarpone and slightly bitter caramel & chocolate are filled inside the beautiful chocolate book. The left and right pages, quill pen, and bookmark are all made of chocolate.

Our traditional, classic shortcake has been loved for many years. It features a soft sponge that crumbles gently in your mouth, and cream that is rich yet light. Once you taste it, the unforgettable flavor of our high-quality cream will surely leave a lasting impression. Please indulge in this exquisite treat.

Inspired by the Rosary Chapel designed by artist Henri Matisse, we created a cake that gently embraces the Christmas spirit, with a focus on light and vibrant colors. The cake is pure white, adorned with white chocolate ornaments, and accented with red and orange hues. The layers consist of white chocolate sponge, orange and apricot jelly, strawberry and sour cherry jelly, all wrapped in a delicately flavored cheese mousse.

Our traditional Mont Blanc, loved by many guests for years, is presented in a special Christmas edition. This traditional style Mont Blanc features an almond sponge soaked in plenty of Kirsch, a rich chestnut mousse, and an original vermicelle made from three types of chestnuts, carefully piped one by one. Enjoy the rich flavors of chestnut and Kirsch.

Keio Plaza Hotel's authentic German Christmas pastry, Stollen, is made from a recipe passed down from our first German chef. The rich and moist dough is soaked in plenty of butter, and contains dried fruits and nuts soaked in rum, spices, and marzipan. The dough is carefully prepared, baked, and cooled, then dusted with a layer of powdered sugar, taking approximately 10 days to complete. We hope you enjoy this deep and rich flavor by sharing it with your family and friends as you await the arrival of Christmas.

This exquisite Japanese-style stollen features a rich matcha (green tea) dough sweetened with wasanbon sugar, and is adorned with Japanese ingredients such as glazed chestnuts, black soybeans from the Tanba region, and tebou beans. Compared to regular stollen, it contains approximately three times more marzipan (based on our company's products), resulting in a moister texture and a luxurious melt-in-your-mouth experience. After savoring the refined sweetness of wasanbon, enjoy the lingering aroma of matcha combined with the delightful texture of tebou beans and black soybeans.

Our panettone is made with homemade yeast, giving it a rich and flavorful dough, and is filled with an abundance of dried fruits such as orange, cranberry, and currants. This traditional Italian Christmas bread is enjoyed in many different ways, from breakfast to dessert. We hope you enjoy the rich flavor and texture of our panettone, made with a homemade yeast starter.
