Indulge in the Italian Merenda Afternoon Tea at Grand Hyatt Tokyo

Experience a unique twist on the traditional afternoon tea with the debut of the "Italian Merenda Afternoon Tea" at the luxurious Grand Hyatt Tokyo, which will begin on June 1, 2026. This specially curated tea experience is brought to you by the renowned Italian café "Fiorentina," located in the heart of the hotel.

Drawing inspiration from the leisurely Italian afternoon snack culture known as "Merenda," this afternoon tea captures the essence of an Italian afternoon spent enjoying delightful treats in a relaxed setting. The "Merenda" embodies the Italian spirit of taking a moment to unwind, surrounded by indulgent sweets and light bites, allowing guests to savor a quintessentially Italian experience.

Exquisite Selection of Sweets and Savories

The afternoon tea presents an array of classic Italian desserts, including:

- Tiramisu, enriched with strong espresso flavors;
- Amaretti, the aromatic almond-flavored macarons;
- Cannoli, traditional Sicilian pastry filled with sweet cream;

Each item reflects the rich heritage of Italian dessert-making, aiming to immerse guests in the sweet diversity of Italy's culinary landscape.

From June 1 until August 31, guests can also enjoy refreshing options like Lemon Ricotta Mousse, a light dessert shaped like a lemon, and a creamy Panna Cotta infused with tropical flavors, alongside a zesty lemon sorbet to help combat the summer heat.

To complement the sweets, the savory selection features delightful items such as:

- Prosciutto Tart with its rich, salty flavor;
- Bruschetta topped with fresh tomatoes and basil;
- Homemade Smoked Salmon layered with creamy ricotta in a fluffy brioche;
- Seafood Risotto Balls made with fragrant saffron;
- Truffle Egg Salad on crispy crostini.

The menu showcases the creativity of the hotel’s Italian chefs, who have crafted each dish with the freshest ingredients. In addition, the famous pastries from the hotel’s own pastry boutique will complement the offerings, ensuring every bite encapsulates the essence of Fiorentina.

A Unique Italian Bread Experience

As a distinctive aspect of the tea, instead of traditional scones, guests will be treated to Panettone, a traditional Italian bread made rich with eggs and butter, resulting in its beautiful golden hue. Two varieties will be available: Mango & Pineapple and a classic Plain version, paired with creamy mascarpone cheese and orange jam, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.

Elegant Ambiance and Perfect Setting

The Italian Merenda Afternoon Tea aims to provide a luxurious and comfortable setting to enjoy this fine experience. Patrons can relish their tea on the beautiful open terrace facing Roppongi Keyaki-zaka Street or inside in a sunlit environment adorned with expansive windows. It's designed for guests to feel as if they’re sipping tea in the heart of Italy itself.

The exquisite blend of refined Italian sweets crafted by a world-class pastry team, combined with savory dishes expertly prepared by Italian chefs, ensures that this afternoon tea is a must-try experience in Tokyo.
