Indulge in a Luxurious Strawberry Afternoon Tea at Shangri-La Hotel, Tokyo
Escape the winter blues and welcome the promise of spring with a decadent Strawberry Afternoon Tea at the Shangri-La Hotel, Tokyo. Available from December 26, 2024, to January 31, 2025, this limited-time experience promises a delightful journey for your taste buds.
A Symphony of Strawberry Delights
Prepare to be mesmerized by a vibrant array of red and pink treats. The star of the show? The glistening "Strawberry Mille-feuille." Layers of flaky puff pastry, rich custard, almond cream, and a hint of pistachio are topped with a generous layer of strawberry jelly, showcasing thick slices of juicy strawberries.
Chocolate lovers will adore the playful "Strawberry Chocolate," featuring a bitter gateau chocolate base, smooth strawberry ganache, and a hidden surprise of praline feuilletine. For a tangy twist, the "Raspberry Rhubarb Cheesecake" offers a baked cheesecake enveloped in raspberry and rhubarb jam and coated in rich raspberry chocolate. Lighter options include the elegant "Strawberry and Rose Cream Hibiscus Jelly," with its delicate floral notes, and the refreshing "Yuzu Matcha Tart," a harmonious blend of citrus and matcha flavors.
Savory Sensations with a Strawberry Twist
The savory selection is equally innovative, featuring unexpected strawberry pairings. The "Champagne Mousse and Scallops with Strawberry Consommé Jelly" is a delightful culinary paradox – a dessert-like appearance with the savory aroma of consommé. The "Prosciutto and Mozzarella with Strawberry Salsa Sauce and Cheese Tuile" reimagines the classic Italian combination with a vibrant strawberry salsa and crispy parmesan tuile.
For a lighter bite, the "Smoked Salmon and Tofu Fresh Spring Rolls" offer a delicate balance of rich smoked salmon and mild tofu, with the vibrant red of the strawberries peeking through the rice paper. At the heart of the savory selection lies the "Japanese Beef Tartare and Red Wine Bun," a unique pink burger featuring flavorful Japanese beef tartare seasoned with mustard and capers, nestled between red wine-infused buns.
Scones and Beverages
Complete your afternoon tea experience with a selection of classic, lemon basil, and a unique strawberry raspberry swirl scone, served with clotted cream, strawberry jam, and condensed milk. A curated selection of beverages complements the sweet and savory offerings.
