Only a limited run of two autumn Mont Blanc parfaits is available at Hotel New Otani Makuhari in Chiba. The seasonal desserts highlight Japanese chestnuts and are served at two of the hotel’s lounges through December 7, 2026.
The release gives diners two ways to enjoy the autumn flavor of chestnuts: a parfait with a view from the hotel’s 24th-floor Bay Court Cafe, or a freshly piped Japanese-style parfait at The Lounge. Both desserts are available in limited quantities, and availability may change depending on ingredient deliveries.
The Waguri Mont Blanc Parfait costs ¥3,500 with seasonal leaf tea at Bay Court Cafe. The Autumn-Scented Freshly Piped Waguri Mont Blanc Parfait costs ¥3,100 at The Lounge. Service charges are additional for both desserts.
About the Two Autumn Mont Blanc Parfaits
The two desserts take different approaches to Japanese chestnut flavor. The Bay Court Cafe parfait combines smooth yellow-chestnut cream and rich chestnut-with-skin flavor with yakan jelly, hazelnuts, madeleine, chocolate macaron, and vanilla ice cream. At The Lounge, freshly piped Waguri chestnut paste is layered with yakan jelly, shiratama rice dumplings, candied chestnuts, and light soybean-flour meringue.

It offers beautifully layered flavors that are visually stunning and delicious to taste.
