Christmas cakes set the season's tone
Through Dec. 23, the Capitol Hotel Tokyu's Origami pastry shop is accepting reservations for its very popular Christmas cakes. The cakes can be picked up between Dec. 10 and 25.
Among the seven different kinds of original Christmas cakes on offer, highly recommended is the rare cheesecake decorated with a delicate pink flower motif (¥4,600). Made by carefully blending cream cheese with sour cream and fresh cream, this cheesecake is rich and light. Inside is a layer of slightly sour strawberry jelly that harmonizes well with the hint of lemon that is used to bring out the original flavor and fragrance of the ingredients.
