Indulge in a Sweet Escape: Hanami Glacé Afternoon Tea at Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo
🌸 Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo and shu uemura Partner for an Enchanting Hanami Glacé Afternoon Tea Experience
Get ready to welcome spring’s arrival with the delightful "Hanami Glacé Afternoon Tea," a captivating collaboration between Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo and shu uemura. Inspired by shu uemura’s "Hanami Glace Collection," launching nationwide on January 17, 2025, this unique afternoon tea promises a sensory experience that captures the essence of early spring’s gentle beauty.
Taking inspiration from the collection’s key colors – subdued pinks and oranges – the delectable treats not only mirror the makeup’s elegant shapes (think eye palette brownies and lipstick-shaped tarts) but also mimic its various textures, from glossy finishes to matte and glitter effects. This makes it a must-try for beauty enthusiasts and anyone seeking a taste of spring’s magic.
