(Grand Hyatt Tokyo)
As the summer heat swells to unbearable levels, the return of autumn is becoming more and more appealing to us all. In case you did not already have enough to anticipate for the coming season: the Fiorentina Pastry Boutique at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo in Roppongi will be welcoming it in with their new Autumn Dolce.
From September 1st to November 15th, there will be all sorts of seasonal sweets to indulge in, ranging from “Autumn Piccolo Gatto” and “Assorted Monte Bianco” petits fours boxes to cakes/shortcakes and filled pies/breads, flavored to suit the feeling of fall. There will be both fresh and baked sweets to suit all cravings.
(Assorted Monte Bianco – ¥2,800)
While there is a focus on the classic autumnal flavors of chestnuts, pumpkins and pears, some local flavors such as matcha are incorporated into this selection. One of the breads takes the shape of the traditional Italian ‘sfogliatelle’ (which translates to ‘multiple pleats’, while the set of verrines (soft desserts in glass containers) juxtaposes the contrasting flavors of tiramisu and mango pudding.
