SHIBUYA STREAM HOTEL: A Summer Afternoon Tea Experience like No Other

Starting July 1, 2026, SHIBUYA STREAM HOTEL, located in the heart of Shibuya, Tokyo, invites guests to indulge in its innovative afternoon tea experience titled "STREAM Afternoon Tea - VEGE POP" at the Bar & Dining venue "TORRENT." This unique concept flips the traditional notion of desserts on its head by featuring colorful summer vegetables as the main attraction.

A Culinary Adventure with Vegetables

The concept behind this afternoon tea is to explore the idea, "Can vegetables take center stage too?" It showcases a playful assortment of vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, and bell peppers transformed into delightful treats that not only look vibrant but also taste incredible. The idea reflects Shibuya's energetic culture and avant-garde spirit, encouraging diners to experience a fresh and exciting summer.

Guests will be treated to whimsical sweets and snacks designed to appeal to even the most reluctant vegetable eaters, including children. This limited-time offering aims to create new flavor encounters and to make it easy and fun to try something different.

Engaging Petit Fours on the Upper Tier

The upper tier of the afternoon tea stand features an array of petit fours that personify the essence of vegetables. Among the highlights are the
Carrot Guimauve, boasting a light texture with citrus notes and gentle sweetness, and the Edamame Tuile, reminiscent of the crunch of fresh edamame. The Cherry Tomato Mousse, resembling real tomatoes, contains basil paste encased in a gelatin shell.
Additionally, guests can look forward to the Okra Cookie and a velvety Corn Mousse that celebrates the natural sweetness of corn. Completing the tier is the vividly colorful Bell Pepper Sugar Donut, made with lightly sweet dough, ensuring that every treat is as enjoyable to see as it is to eat.

Light and Refreshing Savory Options on the Middle Tier

On the middle tier, guests will find savory dishes featuring summer vegetables, such as a deliciously seasoned Savory Cake with spinach, cottage cheese, and sundried tomatoes. Other tantalizing items include a Tortilla Roll, pairing juicy chicken with crisp vegetables, and a refreshing Cold Pasta infused with the zesty essence of lemon and featuring summer zucchini.

Decadent Scones and Seasonal Pairings on the Lower Tier

The lower tier brings a delightful twist with freshly baked scones complemented by creamy cheese and a homemade jam blending the unique flavors of beets and green mango, creating a palette-refining experience.
The combination of smooth cream cheese and the robust sweetness of beets and tantalizing sourness of green mango pairs perfectly with the scones, making the experience both visually appealing and rich in flavor.

Savoring the Flavors of Vegetables Through Savory Plates

Accompanying these sweets is a savory plate highlighting the natural flavors and textures of vegetables. Enjoy a refreshing Chilled Tomato Gazpacho with foam, combining tomato richness with playful textures. Other savory highlights include mini pumpkin puffs with smoky cream, and elegant tartlets filled with fresh cucumber and chorizo, perfectly balancing textures. Additionally, guests will be delighted by a toast topped with succulent shrimp, salt koji lemon, and avocado.

The Perfect Start: A Colorful Sorbet

To initiate this unique culinary journey, guests will be treated to a refreshing sorbet made from red vegetables and fruits. This dish encapsulates the essence of summer with its smooth texture and delightful combination of flavors, perfectly setting the tone for a relaxing afternoon.

A Tropical Welcome Drink

As a welcome drink, guests will be served an innovative Avocado Shake. By blending milk with avocado, the drink eliminates any grassy notes, leaving a fruity and creamy essence akin to banana. Mixing in mango puree transforms the shake, allowing guests to enjoy a tropical twist.

Unlimited Fine Teas and Coffees Available

To complement the afternoon tea experience, a selection of eight varieties from the luxury tea brand TWG Tea is offered. Choices include fruity blends like Alfonso Tea and robust flavors such as the Royal Darjeeling. Coffee options abound as well, with choices ranging from espresso to iced coffee, making the experience even more enjoyable.
