Indulge in a Celestial Afternoon Tea at Hotel Gajoen Tokyo This Autumn π
This autumn, treat yourself to a unique afternoon tea experience at Hotel Gajoen Tokyo, where the moon takes center stage. The "Moon Afternoon Tea" at the New American Grill "KANADE TERRACE" is inspired by the hotel’s special exhibition, "100 Aspects of the Moon x 100 Steps Staircase ~A Moon Journey with the Five Senses~," held at the historic "100 Steps Staircase."
A Feast for the Senses β¨
Pastry Chef Takeya Ikuno has crafted a menu of delectable sweets and savories that capture the essence of autumn and the moon’s ethereal beauty. Imagine indulging in a "Japanese Chestnut Pound Cake," where a large chestnut resembles a half-moon, or savoring the "Early Persimmon Panna Cotta," with persimmon compote and osmanthus liquor jelly evoking the moon’s gentle glow. Don’t miss Chef Ikuno’s miniature "Autumn Leaves" pumpkin tart, inspired by the vibrant colors of Mount Rokko. This delicate tart, made with almond and white bean paste and layered with strained pumpkin paste using traditional Japanese techniques, is a true work of art.
The savory selection complements the sweets with moon-themed creations like the "Chestnut Mousse with Truffle Flavor," featuring a chestnut and mushroom salad enveloped in a rich mousse.
This is more than just afternoon tea; it’s a multi-sensory journey celebrating art, flavor, and the beauty of the autumn season.
