Gransta is a modern and fun commercial facility inside Tokyo Station, home to a variety of sweet shops and restaurants. Outside the ticket gates is Gransta Marunouchi, itself offering a colorful lineup of shops. Not only Japanese people love Tokyo Station for its rich selection of souvenirs and gourmet experiences, it’s also a great place for tourists to shop and dine at. This time, we’re taking a thorough look at the gorgeous Christmas cakes offered by Gransta, many of them centered on the adorable Suica penguin! One cake is even created after the historical Tokyo Station building – let’s dig right in!
Caffarel with Suica / Caffarel

This is one of the season’s most iconic cakes, sold out via reservation two days after launch every year. It combines the cute and fun design of the Suica card (an IC traffic card by JR East) with the authentic chocolate cake creation by the famous Italian chocolate brand, made with the finest ingredients.
2,800 yen, limited to 250 cakes
Gransta Tokyo Ekisha Noël / Colombin

This stunning cake comes with a flavorful shortbread exterior on which the shape of Tokyo Station has carefully been imprinted. It is lavishly topped with five different fruits.
5,400 yen, limited to 150 cakes
Special Fruit Shortcake / Kyobashi Senbikiya

This luxurious shortcake’s main protagonist is plenty of flavorful strawberries, paired with a variety of other different fruits. With 24 cm x 24 cm in size, it can easily be shared by a Christmas party of 10 people!
21,600 yen, limited to 10 cakes
Suica Penguin Christmas Party (box of 9) / Ginza Cozy Corner

The adorable Suica penguin gets to meet Santa, a happy snowman, and a variety of other delicious Christmas cake bites in this colorful box.

Seiya (Holy Night) Chocolate House / Gin no Budo

The snow-covered “Holy Night Christmas House” is entirely made out of chocolate by topping rich, thick chocolate mousse and chocolate sponge cake with chocolate mousse. Crispy Christmas chocolate is the secret ingredient!
1,512 yen
Matcha Dorayaki Christmas Cake / Kouro-an

This delightful Christmas cake is made by an authentic Japanese confectionery shop and thus features plenty of Japanese sweets. That includes matcha-flavored dorayaki, a pancake filled with sweet bean paste, candied chestnuts, and more.
