Only 10 mooncakes a day are available at Nagoya Marriott Associa Hotel in Nagoya, Japan. The special mooncakes are made by the dim sum chefs of Chinese restaurant Rinka and sold through the hotel’s Crochet gift shop.
The seasonal sweets will be available from September 16 through September 25, 2026, on the hotel’s 15th floor. Sales begin at 11:00 each day, so the daily quantity may sell out before the shop’s regular closing time.
