The Azabudai Hills complex will host its second Christmas Market this year with the freshly opened shops in Minato’s newest hotspot. This event's centrepiece is a giant Christmas tree with roughly 20,000 LED lights. Treats include everything from mulled wine and fresh beignets served by doughnut shop Hocus Pocus, to pretzels and bratwursts from German Christmas Stand. Even vegans, who are often overlooked at these annual food markets, have something to keep their spirits high, with plant-based foods like gluten-free stollen from Eightablish.
Knick-knacks on offer include Christmas ornaments, elaborate German Christmas cards and festive mugs, but we’ve got our eyes on Fiasconaro's limited edition Panettone cakes and nougats, which come with elegant tin casings designed by Dolce & Gabbana.
