Indulge in Elegance: A Symphony of Sakura-Inspired Elegance at Four Seasons Tokyo Marunouchi's Spring Afternoon Tea
Japan’s cherry blossoms, or “sakura,” hold a special place in the hearts of its people, symbolizing the transient beauty of life and the arrival of spring. As the blossoms paint the landscapes with hues of pink and white, a unique and enchanting tradition emerges – the Cherry Blossom Afternoon Tea. This delightful and sophisticated culinary experience seamlessly combines the artistry of Japanese culture with the refinement of traditional afternoon tea, creating a feast for the senses that mirrors the fleeting yet captivating nature of cherry blossoms.
As the vibrant colors of spring begin to unfold, the Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo Marunouchi invites guests to experience the beauty of the season through its limited-time Spring Afternoon Tea. From March 1st to April 30th, 2024, The Lounge on the 39th floor transforms into a sanctuary of pastel hues and delightful flavors, capturing the essence of a springtime celebration.
Treats Galore:
The Spring Afternoon Tea set is not just a feast for the taste buds but a visual spectacle inspired by cherry blossoms and the fusion of Japanese and French spring vibes. On the high tea stand, discover a medley of pastel-pink and yellow floral sweets, perfectly paired with savory delights decorated with cherry blossom motifs.
Must-Try Sweets:
Indulge in the six divine treats specially crafted for the occasion, such as the “Sakura and Fruity Rouge Buttercream Cake,” a perfect harmony of cherry blossom and raspberry. Another standout is the “Yuzu and Hazelnut Praline Mousse,” blending the rich aroma of hazelnuts with the zesty freshness of yuzu.
Savor the Savory:
The savory selection, paying homage to traditional French Easter cuisine, brings a taste of Japan’s spring with treats like “Jambon Persillé – Gribiche Sauce,” a jelly set with ham and parsley, and the artful “White Asparagus Bavarois and Fava Bean Tart with Hinata Natsu and Sakura Crunch.”
Sakura-Inspired Cocktails:
For a touch of sophistication, head to Virtù, the hotel’s rooftop bar, and savor the “Somei Yoshino Sakura Cocktail.” Crafted with premium rice shochu, “Kome Kura,” sakura liqueur, and Japanese sake, it’s a toast to the pale pink hues of cherry blossoms.
