At Hotel New Otani's three directly managed hotels (in Tokyo, Makuhari, and Osaka), three new sweets with cherry motifs will be sold at the pastry shop Patisserie SATSUKI from Sunday, March 1 to mid-April.

One of the new sweets is the Sakura Roll (800 yen each, tax not included), which has a cherry blossom fragrance. Next, the Sakura Franc (1,200 yen each, tax not included), is topped with six Amaou strawberries and colorful pastel colors. Last is the cute Shinsakura Macaron (2,000 yen per box, tax not included).

The Sakura Roll is a cake roll made using carefully selected ingredients that enhance the gorgeous flavor of cherry blossoms. It is made with Sakura-kuzu using Kazuki-mochi lactic acid bacterium from Funabashiya, agar flavored with cherry blossoms, black honey bean paste with Aingashima Hingy's salt, and mellow lychee flesh from Kyushu Omuta. The roll is wrapped in cream that looks like white fabric. It shines with a cherry blossom color.

The Sakura Franc uses a special white cereal blended with a unique blend of bubbles, caviar, and amaranth combined with a light cherry flavor flan using brown rice egg with a refreshing umami taste. It is a sweet with luxurious toppings of Sakura Macaroon and Hakata Amaou.

The Shin-Sakura Macaron is a macaron that adds pistachio and ruby chocolate that captures the scent of cherry blossoms. The Sake Cake Macaron uses the Aoki Sake Brewery Tsurusei from Uonuma, Niigata Prefecture. They come in seven pastel colors that are perfect for spring.

Sakura Rolls will be sold in Tokyo and Makuhari. Sakura Francs will be sold in Tokyo and Osaka. Depending on the availability of ingredients, sales may change without notice.

From Sunday, March 1 to Thursday, April 30, Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba will sell sweets and bread with cherry motifs at the hotel's Bakery & Pastry Shop.

Sakura Opera (610 yen, including tax) is a layered sweet that feels Japanese. The three layers include a matcha biscuit jochond, red bean and cherry butter cream, and strawberry jelly. The surface is finished with cherry blossom glassage using white chocolate from France Varona.

The Sakura Roll (1200 yen, tax included) is a roll cake that you can feel spring in both appearance and taste. These moist cakes are baked using cherry sponge dough, cherry-flavored chantilly cream and cherry jelly, sour strawberry, and rhubarb jam to accentuate the cake.

Spring Milk Cream (320 yen, tax included) is a bread made by softly squeezing homemade sakura-flavored milk cream on soft dough with plenty of milk and chopping the salted cherry blossoms with subtle saltiness. With soft bread dough and sweet cream, it is a delicious delight for all to enjoy.

Sakura (290 yen, including tax) is a baked bread dough with a fluffy texture. It is wrapped with cherry-flavored white bean and accented with salt on top. White bread is made with a mixture of cherry liqueur and natural cherry puree that does not use coloring, and you can feel the subtle cherry flavor.

Cherry blossom treats are scattered about in both appearance and taste, and are a perfect snack for cherry blossom viewing and as souvenirs. While we are in the spring season, you should eat sweets and bread to really get the full spring season experience!

Conrad Tokyo will provide Sakura Strawberry Afternoon Tea using local strawberries at the 28th floor bar & lounge Twenty Eight from Sunday, March 1 to Thursday, April 30.

Baby pink Sakura Macaron Strawberry Ganache uses cherry blossoms in the cream inside, and the fragrance of the cherry blossoms is truly exciting to taste.

The Sakura Chocolate Donut, which is striking with pink chocolate and dark chocolate stripes, is a combination of chocolate cookie and chocolate donut texture. Cherry Jelly Vanilla Panna Cotta Cassis Jelly is a refreshing taste of cherry jelly with sweet and sour strawberries, vanilla panna cotta, and a pleasantly tart cassis jelly.

With the Strawberry roll cake, you can enjoy a rich cake with mixed berry and sour strawberry jam. In strawberry cupcakes, you will relish in a collaboration of cherry blossoms and strawberries. Strawberries are mixed into the dough, the frosting is creamy cherry, and a whole chocolate-dipped strawberry is the topping.
