Experience the Essence of British Summer at the Imperial Hotel Tokyo's A Taste of Britain Fair 2025

From July 1 to August 31, 2025, the Imperial Hotel Tokyo will transform into a hub of British culture with its annual "A Taste of Britain" Fair, celebrating all things British with themes inspired by the lush greenery and vibrancy of summer in the UK. Supported by the British Embassy in Japan and collaborating with iconic brands like Wedgwood and Royal Crown Derby, the fair invites guests to indulge in a variety of traditional British experiences.

A Delightful Afternoon Tea

Hosted at the Imperial Lounge Aqua, which occupies the 17th floor of the hotel, the fair features the "British Summer Afternoon Tea," offering guests a chance to relish the essence of a British summer picnic. This unique afternoon tea includes traditional British treats such as Eaton Mess and Lemon Drizzle Cake, along with an original selection that pays homage to summer flavors.

For those seeking an even more exclusive experience, the "British Summer Afternoon Tea with Butler" is available for one special group each day, providing service with exquisite Wedgwood tea ware. Additionally, for an even more lavish option, the "British Summer Afternoon Tea featuring Royal Crown Derby" will allow guests to savor artisanal treats prepared in such fine china.

Exciting Events Throughout the Fair

The festival will also include several exciting events. Between July 28 and 30, the "British Rock Nights" will highlight renowned British rock music, featuring a special audio live session and talk by acclaimed producer and music critic Naoki Tachikawa, using the top-tier Technics audio system.

On August 18, attendees can immerse themselves in the charm of British liqueur with the "Pimm's Seminar." This event will not only showcase the delightful cocktail recipes using Pimm’s but will also allow participants to engage in shaking their cocktails under the guidance of experienced bartenders.

Authentic British Flavors At Home

For those who want to bring a taste of Britain home, the hotel’s first-floor shop, Gargantua, will offer an array of takeaway delights, including the visually stunning Peach Pie that embodies the essence of roses blooming in a British garden, as well as other seasonal specials like the Toad in the Hole.
