Japan’s oldest beekeeping wholesaler, Akitaya Honten, located in “Gifu,” the birthplace of modern beekeeping, has launched a new autumn-only product “Coffee Mont Blanc” using special honey and coffee at its online store from September 29, 2022 (Thu).
The patissier who makes “Coffee Mont Blanc” is the same patissier who won the Grand Prix at the 50th Japan Food Selection for “Cheesecake with Melting Snow and Honey”, the first time a sweets product has won the highest award.
A slightly grown-up Mont Blanc with a slightly bitter taste of coffee added to the sweetness. Special honey (clear honey) is added to make the flavors of chestnut cream and whipped cream blend better.

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.
