A Culinary Journey through the Three Kingdoms

From April 28, 2026, Hilton Tokyo invites you to an exquisite Chinese afternoon tea experience, themed around the timeless tale of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Situated in the elegant Chinese restaurant "Dynasty" on the second floor, this special event is designed to mesmerize fans of the legendary narrative featuring heroes, beauties, and famed strategies from the era.

Priced at ¥7,480 per person (¥7,980 on weekends and holidays), this afternoon tea offers an all-you-can-eat selection of dim sum, alongside nine chef's special dishes beautifully presented on a classic afternoon tea stand. All dishes have been intricately crafted by Masaki Yanagiya, the head chef of "Dynasty," bringing the world of Three Kingdoms to life.

Savory Delights

Guests will savor appetizers such as abalone, pork belly, and sweet shrimp arranged in the style of the story. One standout dish is the cold appetizer named “Diao Chan’s Charm,” which portrays the beauty of Diao Chan who, according to legend, swayed the course of battles with her beauty. It consists of jellyfish and shredded smoked duck served over edamame, all drizzled with a rose-scented sweet and sour pomegranate sauce.

Another captivating dish is “Oath of the Peach Garden,” which signifies the unbreakable bond of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei at the story's outset. This dish features tender steamed chicken served with three distinct sauces: chili, ginger, and Chinese soy sauce, allowing guests to enjoy a burst of flavors on a single plate. Dive into the culinary imagination with “Borrowing Arrows with Straw Boats,” a creation that emulates Zhuge Liang's cunning strategy using abalone and sprinkled yellow chives and bean sprouts.

Each dish invites guests to engage with the story of the Three Kingdoms through flavor and presentation, heightening the overall enjoyment of the afternoon.

Signature Main Dishes

The afternoon tea includes a sumptuous spicy sauté of slow-cooked Japanese black beef with Sichuan chili and pepper, symbolizing the fierce battle of Red Cliffs. The aroma and heat are reminiscent of flickering flames that turned the tides of war, capturing the essence of this climax in the Three Kingdoms saga.

The culinary journey also includes a comforting soup made with shrimp, crab meat, and seasonal vegetables, luxuriously thickened with egg white—a nod to Zhuge Liang’s strategic planning.

Dim Sum Extravaganza

Dim sum will be served fresh at your table, allowing patrons to indulge in their favorites until satisfied. Variants include matcha-infused prawn dumplings, lavender-colored pork and vegetable dumplings, and truffle-topped shrimp shaomai among others. The experience promises an elevated dim sum journey suitable for any occasion.

Decadent Desserts

At the conclusion of the meal, guests will be treated to a selection of four different desserts and lychee served in a glass. A highlight includes “Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's Almond Tofu,” a smooth almond jelly harmonizing flavors of white peach and sour plum. Other delightful options comprise sesame balls served with a hint of bitter matcha cream and the refreshing “Drop of Destiny,” a crystal jelly dessert featuring lemon-scented grapes.

Choosing Your Tea

No afternoon tea experience is complete without excellent tea. Guests are welcomed with “Peach Garden Cold Tea,” inspired by the beginning of the Three Kingdoms saga. Choose from an array of teas themed around the legendary women from the story, including “Special White Peony Tea,” “Roasted Osmanthus Tea,” or “Rose Tea,” all offering a unique aromatic experience.
