Cherry blossoms get all the attention during spring, but those ubiquitous pink petals won't stop the InterContinental Tokyo Bay from showing the Easter Bunny a little well-deserved love.
From March 15 to April 30, The Shop N.Y. Lounge Boutique on the hotel's first floor will be selling decorative Easter egg chocolates designed and crafted by executive chef patissier Junji Tokunaga.
The eggs sell for ¥3,900 a piece and are available between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. during the shop's normal hours. They're made entirely of chocolate — including the stands on which they're presented — and feature humorous designs representing animals such as chickens, pigs, penguins and, of course, the quintessential Easter rabbit. While enchanting to look at, these chocolatey treats bespeak the true culinary talent of Tokunaga, whose team won silver at the 2015 Coupe du Monde de la Patisserie (World Pastry Cup) and also accepted the competition's "Press" prize for their exceptional chocolate desserts.
