Welcome the Summer Fruit Parade!

Starting this summer season, the renowned Hotel New Otani in Tokyo is offering a special "New Afternoon Tea Set - Melon and Mango" until June 30, 2025. This delightful tea set showcases the abundant flavors of seasonal fruits, featuring an array of exquisite desserts crafted from top-quality melons and mangoes.

At the Garden Lounge, guests can indulge in a traditional three-tier afternoon tea set while enjoying picturesque views of the lush Japanese garden, brimming with fresh greenery. Each season, the lounge transforms its menu to highlight the freshest fruit, and this summer, melons and mangoes take center stage!

A Feast of Flavors and Textures

The top tier of the tea set boasts the signature "Super Melon Shortcake" from the esteemed pastry shop Satsuki, using handpicked Shizuoka melons with a sweetness level of 14 or higher, alongside a rich and aromatic "Mango Shortcake". For the first time, the menu features a delightful "Melon Tart", filled with melon jelly and custard cream, topped with a crunchy pastry infused with white bean paste. Generously crowned with fresh melon slices and fluffy cream, this tart is a perfect representation of summer.

On the middle tier, indulge in the creamy "Basque Cheesecake" and a refreshing layered treat of "Iwate Yogurt Jelly" topped with mango jelly. Additionally, two types of macarons encapsulating the sweetness of melons and mangoes provide a burst of flavor with every bite.

The bottom tier features an assortment of four delicious sandwiches, including a refreshing "Fruit Sandwich" filled with seasonal fruits, and the uniquely blissful "Mango Scone" that's available exclusively during afternoon tea. This satisfying selection promises to elevate your afternoon experience.

Perfect Pairings

Enhancing the experience further, a wide selection of tea is available. Choose from the exquisite Darjeeling, known as the "Champagne of teas", fragrant Earl Grey, or refreshing herbal tea blends that perfectly complement the sweet pastries on offer.
