Indulge in a Sweet Escape: Strawberry & Chocolate Afternoon Tea at InterContinental Tokyo Bay

A Romantic Rendezvous with Seasonal Flavors🍓🍫

This Valentine’s Day season, treat yourself to a decadent afternoon tea experience at InterContinental Tokyo Bay. Five distinct dining locations, including the elegant New York Lounge and the comfort of your own room, offer a delightful "LOVE Strawberry & Chocolate Afternoon Tea." This isn’t just any afternoon tea; it’s a carefully crafted pairing of seasonal strawberries and rich chocolate, available for takeout at the N.Y. Lounge Boutique as well.

What sets this experience apart? It’s the sophisticated blend of flavors. Imagine indulging in a tiramisu where sweet strawberries meet creamy strawberry mascarpone and a crispy feuilletine layer. The five petit gâteaux are equally enticing, featuring a raspberry and dark chocolate verrine, a vibrant strawberry mousse tart, airy strawberry marshmallows, a chocolate éclair adorned with a whole strawberry, and fresh chocolate-dipped strawberries. Scones – both plain and chocolate – come with classic clotted cream, strawberry jam, and blueberry jam.

But it’s not just about sweets. Savory options, all featuring a touch of red, complement the sweet treats. At the New York Lounge, Hudson Lounge, and through In-Room Dining, enjoy chicken pâté en croûte with red cabbage choucroute, chickpea and beet hummus, and a cauliflower verrine decorated with strawberries. At Manhattan, the French dining restaurant with stunning Tokyo Bay views, the afternoon tea experience is elevated further with a special menu featuring grilled aged beef steak, mini hamburgers with homemade buns, truffle French fries, and soup. Enhance your afternoon tea with a special strawberry and chocolate mocktail available at the New York Lounge.

For a more extensive dining experience, Italian Dining Zillion and Fine Dining La Provence offer lunch and dinner courses featuring afternoon tea-inspired desserts, providing flexibility for different occasions and preferences. You can even take the experience home with the takeout afternoon tea sets available at the N.Y. Lounge Boutique. This winter, immerse yourself in the season of love with the perfect marriage of strawberries and chocolate at InterContinental Tokyo Bay.

What is afternoon tea in Japan?

Afternoon tea in Japan has evolved into a unique cultural experience that blends traditional British customs with Japanese aesthetics and culinary innovation. While the practice originated in Britain, its adoption in Japan showcases a delightful fusion of Eastern and Western elements. Typically served in upscale hotels and sophisticated tea houses, Japanese afternoon tea features a meticulously arranged selection of savory and sweet treats. These often include delicate sandwiches, scones, and a variety of pastries, all crafted with seasonal and locally sourced ingredients.

In Japan, there is a particular emphasis on presentation and detail, with each item carefully prepared to please both the palate and the eye. Seasonal flavors, such as matcha, yuzu, and sakura, are commonly incorporated, reflecting the Japanese reverence for nature’s cycles. Tea selection is equally refined, offering not only classic English teas but also Japanese favorites like sencha and hojicha.

Afternoon tea in Japan is more than just a meal; it is a leisurely experience that invites guests to savor each moment, making it a popular choice for special occasions and social gatherings. Whether enjoyed in a luxurious hotel setting or a quaint tea salon, it provides a moment of tranquility and indulgence, embodying the art of hospitality that Japan is renowned for.
