Indulge in a Winter Wonderland with the White Afternoon Tea Set at Kichijoji Excel Hotel Tokyu
This winter, escape to a serene world of pure white delights with the new "White Afternoon Tea Set" at the Kichijoji Excel Hotel Tokyu. This unique afternoon tea experience features a menu inspired by the pristine beauty of winter.
Imagine delicate white treats, each a miniature work of art. Savor the "Milk Mousse," a cloud of sweetness concealing a heart of berry jam. Indulge in the "Cream Cheese Tart," where creamy cheese meets a satisfyingly crisp tart shell. And experience the "Pure White Cream Sandwich," featuring white sponge cake (made without egg yolks!) embracing a layer of rich fresh cream and topped with a vibrant strawberry.
But the experience doesn’t stop with sweets. The savory selection is equally enticing. Warm up with the creamy "Cauliflower Soup," bursting with the vegetable’s natural sweetness. Enjoy the surprisingly smooth "Turnip Flan," and cleanse your palate with the refreshing "Prosciutto and Red Core Radish Salad Style."
The White Afternoon Tea Set is available during the day, but also as a unique weekday evening treat (excluding Wednesdays, limited to 6 servings). Reward yourself after a long day or unwind in a tranquil setting with this special experience.
Complementing the exquisite food is a selection of teas from "Tea Market Gclef," a renowned Kichijoji tea shop.

Understanding Kichijoji
Kichijoji is a well-loved neighborhood in Musashino, located in western Tokyo, Japan. It is celebrated for its mix of urban life and nature, attracting both locals and tourists. A major attraction is Inokashira Park, known for its walking trails, pond, and seasonal cherry blossoms. The area also features a diverse range of shops, cafes, and eateries, offering everything from modern fashion to unique, small-scale dining experiences.
The neighborhood is often highlighted as a top residential area, thanks to its welcoming atmosphere and community spirit. Kichijoji offers a more relaxed lifestyle compared to the city center but remains well-connected via the JR Chuo Line and Keio Inokashira Line. This combination of natural beauty, cultural offerings, and easy access makes Kichijoji a great choice for those looking to experience a quieter side of Tokyo. Visitors can also enjoy activities like sampling the White Afternoon Tea Set at the Kichijoji Excel Hotel Tokyu, which adds to the area’s charm.
