“Chourakukan Modern Tile Tart” was created with the concept of “tasting Chourakukan” by reflecting the tile pattern of the old greenhouse of Chourakukan (currently Chourakukan BOUTIQUE), which has remained since the beginning of construction in 1909.

The tart is filled with homemade cream that uses plenty of fragrant palma guilgenti almonds with a unique sweetness that Chourakukan pastry chef has been using for many years, and it is a crispy cookie dough using domestic wheat. The compatibility is also excellent. It is fragrant and moist inside. It is a tart that stands out for its simple taste.

For the set drink, you can choose Chourakukan original coffee or tea.
“Chourakukan Original Blend Coffee” is made by extracting specially roasted home-ground beans with nel drip. The deep roasted fragrant aroma and mellow taste are popular without any unpleasant taste.

“Changrakukan Original Blend Tea” is based on Sri Lankan black tea with the addition of honey bush, an herb native to South Africa, and you can enjoy the natural sweetness and aroma without habit.

In addition, we will offer a discount on “Chourakukan Modern Tile Tart” by presenting the admission ticket for the “Kyoto of Modern Architecture” exhibition at the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art.

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.

[Shinjuku Gyoen x Naked] NAKED Autumn Foliage in Shinjuku Gyoen 2023 to be held

From November 22 (Wed) to December 3 (Sun), 2023, an autumn foliage lighting event will be held at Shinjuku Gyoen. Following the cherry blossom event this spring, Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked will collaborate again this fall for the autumn foliage event. Shinjuku Gyoen, one of Tokyo’s most famous gardens, is one of the few places in the city where visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves. The 200-meter-long rows of plane trees, the best maple tree spot in the city, Momijiyama, and the “Middle Pond,” with its spectacular reflection in the pond, will offer a world where the autumn leaves of Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked’s art and food are fused together.
