Palace Hotel Tokyo's Christmas cakes are hugely popular every year and sell out quickly. As the harsh summer heat finally subsides, the new 2018 cakes have already been unveiled.

It's also interesting that they have a wide selection of fruity flavors. Here we introduce the full lineup, which is both visually appealing and delicious.
