The Peninsula's Mooncakes: A Luxurious Moon-Viewing Find at Ginza Matsuya

When I stopped by Ginza Matsuya, I found a whole display of The Peninsula's mooncakes.
Drawn in by the red and gold packaging, I looked at them one by one, and a memory came back to me: 'I've seen these somewhere before...'

Mini Egg Custard Mooncakes
A classic originating from The Peninsula Hong Kong. Individually wrapped with a long shelf life, these are perfect as a 'little luxury gift' starting at 1,888 yen each.

A beautiful assorted box supervised by a Michelin-starred chef, highlighting the brilliance of the ingredients.

A luxurious assortment using special ingredients, supervised by a Michelin-starred chef. The delicate flavors of fig, kumquat, and osmanthus stand out, offering surprise and delight with every bite.
By the way, it is said that for mooncakes, not only the contents but also the packaging is an important element in conveying your feelings to the recipient. This set, packed in a beautiful box, is perfect for gifting. I hear many people also buy them for themselves as a collection.

Carefully Selected Mooncake Gift Box (Octagonal Box)

Supervised by a Michelin-starred chef. An 8-piece 'reward' set where the aromas of ingredients like fig and kumquat really shine.

Fortune Bear (Plush Toy)

A 'good luck bear' in limited-edition Lunar New Year colors. With its red and gold color scheme, it is popular as a lucky charm for the new year. (14,300 yen)

Come to think of it, last year, these very mooncakes were on display at the home of the designer I assist.
I remember being impressed, thinking, 'Even though they're sweets, they look as stunning as interior decor,' as they sat in the center of the festive dining table.

By the way, the Matsuya-exclusive 'Mooncake Fortune' guarantees a win of at least 1,888 yen. ...I tried drawing one, and sure enough, the Moon Goddess smiled upon me.
