InterContinental Tokyo Bay Hotel (Address: 1-16-2 Kaigan, Minato-ku, Tokyo) is offering a "Premium Mont Blanc" packed with the charm of chestnuts, created by Chef Pastry Chef Tsunanori Yao, at The Shop N.Y. Lounge Boutique.
The "Premium Mont Blanc" allows you to fully enjoy the natural sweetness and rich flavor of chestnuts.
The Premium Mont Blanc is an ultra-thin pâté filo pastry baked to a crisp with almond cream, topped with Mont Blanc cream made from a blend of subtly sweet French Chataigne d'Ardeche chestnut paste and fragrant Japanese chestnut paste, creating a dish that embodies the marriage of Japanese and Western flavors. The rich Mont Blanc cream is enhanced with smooth, gentle custard cream and rich fresh cream, further enhancing the natural sweetness and aroma of the chestnuts.
Sweet potato compote and domestically grown chestnuts in their skins are also added to create a different texture and a rich chestnut flavor. Chestnut paste shaped like chestnuts is topped with poppy seeds, which have a fragrant aroma and a crunchy texture, and is gorgeously decorated with chocolate crafts and gold leaf reminiscent of chestnut balls. The rich flavor and rich taste of the chestnuts spread throughout your mouth with each bite, and you can enjoy the exquisite harmony of the crispy pie crust and the elegant sweetness of the fluffy chestnuts. This masterpiece, packed with the attention to detail of Chef Patissier Yao, makes the most of the natural flavor of the ingredients and is a must-try for chestnut lovers.
