At Sweets & Deli, Palace Hotel Tokyo’s very own cake and pastry shop, the chocolates are homemade and the breads freshly baked.

Indeed, many of the sweets, breads and pastries found in the hotel’s various restaurants and lounges can be found here.

It also offers a wide selection of homemade delicacies beautifully packaged to deliver as a gift or bring home as an edible memento of your stay.

This season’s array of sweets & savories include:

• Peanut & Banana Croissant – banana-flavored croissant bread with a peanut cream coating
• Hassaku Orange Cream Danish – refreshingly sweet with a touch of bitterness
• Ajillo Foccacia – Spring cabbage & sakura shrimp ajillo-style
• Galette des Shirasu – whitebait & half-boiled egg atop a galette

• Yomogi – a yomogi (mugwort) mousse with black sesame & red bean paste cream and a Bavarian cream filling
• Agrumes Japonais – Kiyomi orange tart with orange-flavored chocolate cream & meringue
• Rouges – framboise mousse & red currant jelly with rhubarb sponge cake

Palace Hotel Tokyo is delighted to debut a new take on its signature chiyo choco with a limited edition series designed in collaboration with popular Japanese graphic designer & illustrator Shogo Sekine.

Distinctly marked by vivid colors and the incorporation of fashion icons, floral and fauna patterns, and original typography, Sekine’s work can often be spotted in fashion and textile designs, advertisements, magazines as well as space design.

The eye-catching 2019 series of chiyo choco exclusively designed for Sweets & Deli features a variety of chocolate flavors – from fruity to nutty – and ranges from 37% to 71% cacao. All stylishly packaged in a chic album-style presentation.

Price: JPY 3,000 per set

Our ode to the essence of Springtime this year includes:

• Fleurs – a harmonious blend of cherry-flavored jelly and panna cotta

• Cerisiers – a cake featuring intermingling layers of white chocolate, gânache & pistachio and cherry cream

• Sakura – an airy and refreshing combination of cherry mousse & Champagne jelly covered with a layer of cheese mousse

• Sakura Crunch – a Japanese-style macaron filled with a delectable medley of strawberry and white chocolate crunch

We’re also serving up a delicious pie made with red cherry filling and almond cream, as well as a sakura & matcha ‘stick’ – a cookie-style bread filled with cherry blossom- and matcha-flavored paste.

We are also delighted to present a limited edition sakura-flavored version of our original 壱ノ壱ノ壱 (ichi-no-ichi-no-ichi) sake cake.

The one-of-a-kind creation is infused with our signature 1-1-1 (壱ノ壱ノ壱) Junmai Ginjo sake exclusively made for Palace Hotel Tokyo by Hakkaisan Brewery, and this special seasonal version comes sakura-flavored and scented with cherry leaves.

Price: JPY 3,300 per cake

Although the special sake beverage, itself, is available for consumption only at the hotel (due to its availability in very limited quantities), the cake makes for a lovely gift or momento to bring home.

Come Eastertime, Sweets & Deli will be featuring an artful array of pastel-colored chocolate eggs.

They almost look too beautiful to crack open…but the chocolated-covered nuts inside may prove too irrestistible to leave untouched…

Price: JPY 2,500 per egg
