Swiss Gourmet on the 6th floor of Swissôtel Nankai Osaka (Chuo Ward, Osaka) will begin taking reservations for four Christmas cakes and the hotel's original Christmas chicken on November 1 (Sunday), 2026.
This year's cakes were created by the pastry team led by Executive Pastry Chef 中村友樹. Each one keeps the flavor of its ingredients at the center while adding a playful Christmas touch. The classic shortcake, loved by a wide range of ages, comes in a Christmas design inspired by Santa Claus playing in the snow. The Bûche de Noël, popular every year, has a cute look reminiscent of a scene from a fairy tale. Also on the lineup are a deeply rich caramel mousse cake for adult tastes and a striking cake shaped like a pink Christmas tree, built on a shortcake with a mini Bûche de Noël alongside so two flavors can be enjoyed at once.
From December 14 (Monday), the cakes can also be bought directly at Swiss Gourmet on the 6th floor.
The hotel's original fried chicken and roast chicken, popular every year, return as well. Takeout items are plentiful too, including the traditional stollen and Kugelhopf, plus a new cookie designed after the hotel's mascot character みなみモウ. They also work as party souvenirs or gifts.
