Last year, we were the only hotel outside of Oita prefecture to hold a strawberry fair in collaboration with the local strawberry brand “Beritz”, and it was well received by many customers, so this will be the second year in a row that we have held it.
Last year, we offered a menu that focused on using all ingredients other than strawberries as “pure white” to emphasize the “bright, deep red color” that is characteristic of Berries. This year, we will be offering four menus that are highly artistic and beautiful to look at while taking advantage of the gorgeous colors of berries. Among them, the Hachette Dessert (plated dessert) and Panier de fraises will be featured for the first time on the menu using our hotel’s Oita Prefecture Berries.
“Strawberry Picking” is a basket made of cookies filled with berries and other sweets, expressing “strawberry picking” on a plate. In addition, due to the beauty of berries, the parfait “Robe rouge” is inspired by a “strawberry princess.”
Rouge)” takes advantage of the contrast between the deep red of Berries and the white cross section to form the pleats of the dress. In addition, the berry jelly is made to look like frills, making it look gorgeous.
In addition, a different 4-layer shortcake “Berries”
Quartette” and afternoon tea “Berry meets” where you can enjoy 10 types of berries and sweets.
Afternoon Tea is a menu where you can enjoy the look and taste of berries to your heart’s content.

With the theme of “strawberry picking as early as possible,” the cookie basket is filled with crepes, fresh berries, strawberry mousse, and strawberry sauce.
Squeeze strawberry cream on top and top with petit choux, strawberry ice cream, marshmallow, mint, and berries.
At the bottom of the basket, strawberry sauce is poured in a pattern using Chantilly, and three berries are added to the sauce, making it a dish with a variety of looks and tastes.

In addition to the vertical height that makes parfait fun and the inherent cuteness of strawberries, we created it with the image of a “princess in a dress who descends on strawberries and cream” to express beauty.
The princess is made of chocolate and wears a bright berry dress that uses strawberry and rose-flavored mousse and berries to resemble frills, and uses berry jelly for the hem. The dress was accented with fresh edible roses and silver roses to add even more glamor. The glass she lands on is filled with berry sauce, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, fromage blanc, and yogurt mousse.
You can enjoy not only the appearance but also the different tastes and textures from top to bottom.

Even with the standard shortcake, we tried something new to take advantage of the characteristics of berries.
In order to achieve the best balance of cream and berries made using the Royal Hotel’s traditional recipe, we increased the cross section from the usual three layers to four to adjust the texture and taste. In addition, we used plenty of berries and white chocolate to create a shortcake with an unprecedented appearance and voluminous feel. “Berry’s Quartette” image

characteristics of berries, you can enjoy 10 types of sweets using berries with different textures and tastes, such as mille-feuille, mousse, tart, cream cookie sandwich, pudding, French toast, and confiture.
French toast is made by soaking the bread in milk, sugar, eggs, and berry juice before baking, and finishing with fresh berries and sauce. Enjoy the strawberry confetti with scones.

“Frozen Strawberry
Daiquiri is a cocktail made with Berets, a brand of strawberry from Oita Prefecture that has a good balance of sweetness and sourness, and has the elegant sweetness of sweets.
At this time of year when strawberries are at their most delicious, we use rum that goes well with strawberries to create the “Frozen Strawberry” where you can enjoy the sweetness and sourness of berries to your heart’s content.
I made it into a Daiquiri.
Enjoy the colorful and cute appearance and fruity-flavored cocktails in a retro and calming atmosphere inspired by Granada in the Andalusia region of Spain.
≪Reference≫
*Oita prefecture’s local brand strawberry “Beritz”*
Berry’s, an original strawberry from Oita Prefecture that took eight years to develop as Oita No. 6, was launched in 2017. Strawberries themselves can be made into sweets, and they were named “Berrys” because they are strawberries that look like sweets.
We offer gift items that are not available in other varieties in Oita Prefecture, and are also available at high-end stores such as department stores. There are two main sales base markets for Berry’s: Kyoto City Market and Oita Prefecture Market. Strawberries produced in Oita Prefecture have been sold at the Kyoto Central Market for over 30 years, so “Berry’s” is sold from the Kyoto market where they have a proven track record. Characteristics include: “It has a high sugar content throughout the season and is a bright, deep red color” “It is in season for a long time, so it can be enjoyed from high demand periods such as Christmas.”
