Autumn Afternoon Tea at Grand Hyatt Tokyo Features Seasonal Flavors from Japan

Experience the Enchantment of Autumn at Grand Hyatt Tokyo's Afternoon Tea

As the vibrant hues of fall begin to grace the landscape, the Grand Hyatt Tokyo is set to offer a delightful retreat with its inaugural Autumn Afternoon Tea starting September 1, 2026. This seasonal offering will take place at the elegant Fiorentina Italian Café, located in the heart of Tokyo's Minato Ward, and is crafted to showcase the rich flavors of autumn.

A Taste of Autumn

The Autumn Afternoon Tea showcases the best of the season, combining Japanese ingredients with classic Italian culinary aesthetics. Indulge in treats made from quality Kumamoto chestnuts, such as the exquisite Mont Blanc that highlights the nut’s gentle sweetness. Another star of the menu is the shine muscat shortcake, lavishly layered with juicy, luscious grapes, along with a poached pear and caramel mousse that promises a refined and indulgent experience.

Savory delights complete the experience, including a delectable truffle-infused mushroom frittata, and Italian open sandwiches featuring figs, gorgonzola, and prosciutto. For those seeking a unique twist on traditional snacks, the chestnut arancini and caponata tartlet with eggplant and mozzarella offer delightful flavors that encapsulate the essence of autumn in every bite.

To complement these sweets, guests will enjoy the Italian bread Pandoro, available in two variations: a classic plain flavor and a special autumn edition featuring chestnut pieces. Paired with mascarpone cheese or pear jam, these treats add a festive touch to your tea time experience.

Halloween Special

As October approaches, the hotel will also introduce a whimsical Halloween Afternoon Tea featuring themed treats from October 1 to 31. Expect fun, photo-worthy pastries like a pumpkin Mont Blanc cream puff, ghost-shaped cheesecake, and chocolate bat-adorned purple sweet potato roll cake, ensuring lively interactions during your autumn tea escapade.

Relax in Style

Guests can enjoy this splendid tea experience while soaking in the gentle autumn breeze from the spacious terrace, creating an ambiance reminiscent of an Italian resort. Taking in seasonal delights and Italian cuisine in such a picturesque setting makes for an unforgettable afternoon.
