Experience Exotic Summer with Afternoon Tea at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo Otemachi

Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo Otemachi will launch its limited-time 'Exotic Summer Afternoon Tea' starting from July 13, 2026. This delightful offering, available at THE LOUNGE on the 39th floor, celebrates the richness of tropical fruits like ripe mangoes and pineapples, marrying their sweet flavors with the refreshing citrus notes that define summer.

The Exotic Summer Afternoon Tea

Guests will savor a range of desserts that capture the essence of the tropics, such as the exquisite Saint Honoré tart styled in the shape of summer sunflowers, featuring a melt-in-your-mouth pineapple cream and delicate pastry textures that evoke a sense of paradise. Pairing naturally with this dessert is the 'Moon Leaf,' a seasonal mocktail crafted from black tea, pineapple, and pear, perfect for a refreshing summer sip.

Unique Sweet Treats and Savories

Apart from sweets, the afternoon tea experience includes savory dishes that bring an exotic twist. The 'Mango Chicken Sandwich' features vibrant mango puree, complemented by a citrus cream and lime zest, harmonizing flavors of sweetness and acidity in a delicate, sandwich form reminiscent of dessert.

The 'Verrine of Bouillabaisse and Brandade' stands out with its layered presentation, adorned with saffron jelly and curry cream, inviting guests to enjoy the depth of flavors inspired by traditional Provençal cuisine.

The culinary magic behind this unique experience comes from Executive Pastry Chef Michele Abatemarco, who has shown his prowess as a pastry chef through accolades and excellence. Alongside him, Executive Sous Chef Kensuke Kuze ensures that the savory offerings maintain the same high standards of culinary artistry and present an unforgettable taste experience.
