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
