At the To go shop and gourmet boutique Melissa (1st floor) of the RIHGA Royal Hotel (Kita-ku, Osaka), a cake "Congratulations" with the theme of the 2016 zodiac "Saru" has appeared. From December 31st to January 31st, 2016, it will be pre-ordered for 3 cars a day. The reservation period is from December 26th to January 28th, 2016.


This is a cake with a "monkey" face drawn with chocolate mousse, banana mousse, and pound cake. By spraying chocolate on the surface of the cake, it seems to express the fluffy monkey coat.

In addition, the neck of the monkey is decorated with caramel-flavored whipped cream, which is the image of "Shimenawa", and plate chocolate, which is the image of red and white "Gohei". Underneath the whipped cream, a slice of banana, which is said to be "a favorite of monkeys," is hidden, and it seems that the pastry chef's commitment and playfulness are scattered everywhere.

The approximate size is 13.5 cm in diameter. It is a size that can be carved by 4 to 6 people. The price is 10,800 yen (tax included).
