From 06 September to 06 October 2025, the hotel presents the Chocolate, Strawberry Rose, Pistachio Mooncake — a contemporary mooncake crafted by world-renowned Japanese pâtissier Chef Hironobu Tsujiguchi.
Mooncakes, the hallmark delicacy of the Mid-Autumn Festival, symbolise reunion and harmony beneath the glow of the full moon.
While new to many in Sri Lanka, these pastries are one of Asia’s most cherished festive traditions.
Reimagined through Chef Tsujiguchi’s artistry, the Chocolate, Strawberry Rose, Pistachio Mooncake blends the floral sweetness of rose, the brightness of strawberry, the richness of chocolate, and the nutty elegance of pistachio.
Encased in a modern mooncake skin made with cultured gourmet butter, it offers a refined melt-in-the-mouth texture that lingers gently on the palate.
Chef Hironobu Tsujiguchi is a third-generation successor of a traditional Japanese confectionery family, and at 23 became the youngest-ever winner of Japan’s most prestigious national patisserie competition.
Today, he is celebrated globally as a Michelin-starred pâtissier and chocolatier, founder of 13 brands including Mont Saint Clair and Le Chocolat de H, and a six-time consecutive gold medallist at the Salon du Chocolat Paris.
His creative journey was also captured in the acclaimed documentary Le Chocolat de H, officially selected for the 2019 Seattle Film Festival, which highlighted his innovative approach of blending Japanese ingredients such as matcha, yuzu, and wasabi into modern chocolate artistry.
More than a festive gift, this special edition is also a dessert to savour — whether enjoyed at home, shared with loved ones, or paired with an elegant evening.
