Four Seasons Hotel Osaka: Summer Gourmet Collection Featuring Seasonal Bounty

Four Seasons Hotel Osaka (Location: 2-4-32 Dojima, Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; General Manager: Gianni Costa) is launching a collection reflecting the charm of the season this summer across its in-house restaurants, bars, and bakery. This includes the debut of the new dessert "Butter-Infused Farine Croissant Soft Cream" at the bakery "Farine," and a Melon Afternoon Tea at the all-day French bistro "Jardin." Furthermore, "Jardin" and "Bar Bota" will offer cocktails and mocktails inspired by Osaka's summer scenery and seasonal fruits. Enjoy a summer moment with a colorful array of flavors.

A New Hybrid Dessert Arrives! "Butter-Infused Farine Croissant Soft Cream"

A dream collaboration between the signature bread and rich soft cream has been realized. The "Butter Croissant" from "Farine," the bakery on the first floor of Four Seasons Hotel Osaka, has been popular since its opening. The dough uses a unique blend of several types of domestic wheat, and the lamination butter is generously made with European butter known for its rich aroma, each one carefully baked. The unbaked dough weighs approximately 100g, giving it a substantial size, with a crispy, light exterior and a moist, tender interior.

This croissant, with its rich butter flavor, is boldly topped with a cool, smooth soft cream. You can choose from four flavors of soft cream: "Hokkaido Milk Vanilla" rich with Hokkaido fresh cream, "Premium Chocolate" using French chocolate with 80% cacao, aromatic "Uji Matcha," and "Seasonal Flavor" which changes with the season.

We also recommend dipping the remaining croissant in a cafe latte. First, enjoy dipping the croissant into the soft cream, savoring the contrast between the savory bread and the cold sweetness. Then, try dipping the remaining croissant in a cafe latte for a new way to enjoy it.

The variety of toppings is also appealing. You can enjoy three types of complimentary toppings: matcha powder, kinako (roasted soybean flour), and crispy rice. Find your favorite combination by adding accents of flavor and texture.

Premium Toppings Also Available!

A topping featuring fresh Australian winter truffles generously shaved over the "Premium Chocolate" soft cream is also available!

This is truly a "premium" dessert, with fresh Australian winter truffles generously shaved over the "Premium Chocolate" soft cream. The bittersweet and deep flavor of cacao blends with the rich aroma and earthy notes characteristic of black truffles, creating a sophisticated harmony of sweetness and umami. The rich aroma of freshly shaved truffles spreads with the coldness of the soft cream, further enhancing the rich depth of the chocolate. It also harmonizes beautifully with the savory butter flavor of the croissant, leading to a more profound taste as each ingredient overlaps.

Experience a rich aroma and smooth melt-in-your-mouth texture with every bite. Enjoy a luxurious taste that goes beyond the ordinary soft cream.
