In preparation for the holiday season, TRUNK(HOTEL), a boutique hotel in Jingumae, Shibuya Ward, will begin accepting reservations from October 21, 2021, for Christmas cakes, Christmas hors d'oeuvres, and roast chicken that will add a touch of elegance to your Christmas table at home. The menu lineup will provide a comprehensive package for creating a wonderful party scene with family and friends.
Two Types of Christmas Cakes Created by Our Executive Chef Pastry Chef
Christmas cakes, the centerpiece of your Christmas table, are two types of cakes inspired by "winter forests" developed by the TRUNK(HOTEL) pastry team led by Executive Chef Pastry Chef Jean-Sébastien Clapié.
"Fort noire," which means Black Forest in French, is a chocolate cake inspired by the lush mountain slopes. The chocolate cake is made with roasted sesame seeds and is enveloped in vanilla cream and dark chocolate mousse. In the center, a violet-flavored red fruit jelly adds a touch of acidity, harmonizing with the bitterness of the dark chocolate to create a delicate flavor.
"Fort blanche," meaning white forest, is a chestnut cake with a mousse that harmonizes the tartness of fromage cream and the rich depth of chestnut mousse, and the fresh sweetness of pear spreads throughout. The cake, accented with a moderately bitter coffee flavor, has an addictive texture of caramel and orange cookies. The cake decorations will be delivered separately, allowing you to create a one-of-a-kind, special cake at home with a loved one.
Enjoy this Christmas cake, brimming with creativity from our executive chef pastry chef, who creates a surprise with every bite, just like opening a gift.

Christmas hors d'oeuvres and roast chicken to brighten up your table
The "Holiday Appetizer Box", which will brighten up your Christmas at home, is a set of 16 hors d'oeuvres, each one carefully crafted. The four flavors - sour, bitter, umami, and sweet - are expressed in the theme colors of red, green, white, and yellow, reminiscent of Christmas. The vibrant presentation will excite you from the moment you open the box, and can be enjoyed by adults and children alike.
Each of the four theme colors consists of four hors d'oeuvres made with luxurious ingredients befitting the holiday season. Menu items that go perfectly with wine or champagne include "Anago Matelote," conger eel stewed in red wine, "Foie Gras Ball," foie gras confit coated in white chocolate, and "Mont Blanc Truffle," made with sole mousse and truffles, making for a special evening.
"Roast Chicken," a Christmas dinner classic, is made with baby chicken marinated overnight in mineral-rich French salt, home-grown rosemary, and herbs, resulting in a juicy and slightly spicy flavor. It is served with roast potatoes and Brussels sprouts as a side dish. It is the perfect menu for a party.
