Authentic Panettone Made with Italian Recipes
Using only homemade yeast carefully cultivated by the bakery chef, this panettone is left to ferment slowly for a long time and then mixed with raisins, lemon peel, orange peel, and lemon and orange compote, resulting in a sweet, moist, and soft bake. This delightful dish features a fruity flavor and the fragrant aroma of yeast. Enjoy our hotel's signature panettone, delicious either as is or slightly warmed.

Stollen
This traditional German dessert, perfect for Christmas Eve, is available in our original Dresden style. It's made with rum-soaked dried fruit, German marzipan, and roasted almonds, and is generously soaked in domestic butter. The longer it sits, the more moist and matures it becomes, deepening its flavor and deepening its richness. The mellow aroma of fruit and spices goes perfectly with coffee or tea, as well as wine. Slice it little by little and enjoy it while looking forward to Christmas Day. It also makes a great holiday gift.

We hope you can feel our thoughts as well as the deep flavor of each panettone, which is carefully made." - Takemasa Inoue
