Stollen and Coffee Set

Sawamura Old Karuizawa
Sawamura Old Karuizawa is one of the participating locations for the seasonal Stollen, which is priced at ¥3,888 boxed or ¥3,672 without the box.
Sawamura makes the Stollen with dough fermented using its house-made sourdough starter. Raisins and cranberries soaked in spirits, tea-cooked apricots, nuts, marzipan, cinnamon, cardamom, and red-wine-cooked figs are folded into the dough. The pastry is considered ready to eat when the butter has begun to blend into the powdered sugar on the surface, allowing the flavors to deepen over time.
