Discover the Elegance of Champagne Afternoon Tea at the Tokyo Station Hotel
Set just a few steps away from Tokyo Station, the Tokyo Station Hotel invites guests to indulge in its exquisite "Champagne Afternoon Tea" at the second-floor Bar & Café Camellia, starting August 1 and running through October 31. This unique afternoon tea experience allows guests to delight in a free-flow champagne selection, paired thoughtfully with savory dishes that are designed to complement the bubbly, making it a perfect choice for those who prefer savory over sweet.
A Savory Experience
In a refreshing twist on the traditional afternoon tea, Camellia focuses on flavors that pair perfectly with champagne. Among the highlights is the delightful "Quiche Lorraine," packed with wholesome vegetables, and the enticing "Tartine" styled after the Alsatian specialty Tarte Flambée, topped with purple onion, bacon, and cream cheese. Culinary lovers can also savor the crispy "Fried Shrimp" with its light texture, and the creamy, gooey "Boulette Fromage".
Further enticing options include the German-style "Grilled Sausage with Sauerkraut and Mustard Sauce," which consists of two types of sausages served with tangy vinegar cabbage, as well as the "Ratatouille with Sautéed Calamari in Basil Sauce", created by enhancing the flavors with squid ink and anchovies. For a hearty finish, there's the luxurious "Pain Perdu with Beef Bourguignon", layered with rich beef stew and adorned with parmesan cheese. Each dish is crafted to evoke the charm of a traditional French bistro, providing a satisfying and memorable dining experience.
A Sweet Conclusion
No afternoon tea would be complete without a selection of delightful desserts. Guests can enjoy the savory "Canelé", exquisitely baked to a perfect balance of crispy outside and moist inside, and the refreshing "Provencal Fruit Salad with Gelée", which features seasonal fruits tossed in a mint dressing served with champagne gelée. Additionally, the "Gâteau Basque" offers a rich taste of chestnut and custard cream, and the "Clafoutis" showcases the delicious blend of dark and sour cherries. These desserts are a fitting treat to cleanse the palate between savory bites or to conclude the meal on a sweet note.
