A Special Afternoon Tea Experience at Keio Plaza Hotel

The Keio Plaza Hotel, located in the heart of Shinjuku, Tokyo, is set to offer a unique afternoon tea experience from September 1 to October 31, 2026, at the 45th-floor Sky Lounge, Aurora. This exclusive event serves as a celebration of the season's bounty, showcasing the delightful Shine Muscat grapes along with various autumn flavors.

Guests will be treated to a beautifully arranged three-tier stand filled with seasonal delicacies. Highlights include the refreshing "Shine Muscat Jelly with Jasmine Panna Cotta" and the zesty "Shine Muscat Tart with Lemon Ganache." The latter offers a delightful combination of sweet Shine Muscat and a hint of lemon, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that enhance the grape's natural sweetness. One can't miss the "Sweet Potato Mont Blanc Cream Puff," which encases a mixture of diplomate cream and sweet potatoes, meticulously topped with rich Mont Blanc cream that highlights the sweetness of autumn.

In addition, the "Apple Mousse" is crafted with slow-cooked Tartelettes Tatin, enclosing apple puree in a luscious milk chocolate mousse, garnished with a whisper of cinnamon and a glossy apple juice glaze, delivering a deeply satisfying taste experience.

On the savory side, the menu includes intriguing creations such as "Ita Shell and Avocado Salad with Shine Muscat Yogurt Dressing," "Purple Sweet Potato Cream with Shrimp Tartlet," "Braised Pork with Seasonal Vegetables," and "Autumn Mushroom Quiche." These savory offerings incorporate Shine Muscat grapes, amplifying their fruity appeal and providing a fulfilling dining experience akin to a well-curated course meal.

The hotel also offers a selection of approximately 30 beverages, including various teas, coffees, and seasonal flavored teas, allowing guests to enjoy free-flow drinks throughout the three-hour experience. This generous time frame enables visitors to relax, converse with friends, or read while taking in the stunning views of Tokyo's skyline from 160 meters above ground.

With the vibrant city landscape beneath and the seasonal joys of Shine Muscat and autumn flavors on the table, this exclusive afternoon tea promises to be a memorable experience.
