Hotel New Grand's Bakery Workshop Launches New "Galette Pomme" Danish Pastry

A new seasonal pastry is coming to Hotel New Grand's retail shops in Yokohama. From April 1 (Wednesday) through May 31 (Sunday), 2026, the hotel's directly operated shop S.Weil by HOTEL NEW GRAND — available at both the main store and the Yokohama Takashimaya store — will be offering a new bakery creation called "Galette Pomme."

The Galette Pomme features a crunchy danish dough filled with a fragrant, delicately sweet crème d'amande and thinly sliced apple compote arranged like flower petals, finished with a baked crispy crumble topping. The combination of rich butter aroma, gentle apple sweetness, and satisfying texture makes it a thoroughly enjoyable danish for weekend mornings or any leisurely moment.
