Experience the Summer Peach Pink Afternoon Tea
From July 18 to September 15, the casual upscale restaurant NEW LIGHT, located in Miyashita Park, Shibuya, will offer an exclusive afternoon tea called "PEACH PINK ~SHIBUYA Afternoon Tea~". This special dining event showcases the luscious flavors of summer peaches, inviting guests to engage all five senses in a delightful culinary experience.
This year's summer theme revolves around the fragrant sweetness of peach, incorporating both white and red varieties to ignite a celebration of flavor and freshness. The afternoon tea consists of an extravagant array of sweets and savory dishes, ensuring that every bite is infused with the essence of peach.
A Lavish Stand
The beautifully arranged dessert stand features a variety of eight delightful sweets, including white peach and red peach mousse, peach jasmine shortcake, a rich cheesecake topped with fresh peach, peach anko (sweet red bean paste) steamed buns, peach lychee champagne jelly, lychee mousse, and unique cookies. Each treat is carefully crafted to accentuate the gentle sweetness and juiciness of peaches, served in elegant glass and porcelain dishware that catches the eye with its soft pink and white hues. The pristine presentation and vibrant jellies make it almost irresistible for visitors to snap photos before indulging. As you take a bite, the refreshing aroma and juicy sweetness transport you away from the summer heat.
Among the savory offerings, guests can savor the delightful combination of saltiness and sweetness with the "Nyokko Fritto" featuring peach and prosciutto, as well as a unique fish burger that pairs crispy fried white fish with peach. Rich and milky burrata cheese combined with peach creates a luxurious flavor, while the "Shimabara Lemon Somen with Orange Vinegar Jelly and Peach" showcases a perfect balance of citrusy freshness and peach aroma—a perfect dish for warm days. Additionally, try the chilled "Peach Gazpacho" to further explore the versatile use of peach beyond sweets.
Refreshing Summer Peach Parfait
Guests who order the afternoon tea will have the exclusive chance to enjoy a peach parfait. This delicious treat layers poached peaches, white peach sauce, nata de coco, tapioca, alcohol-free champagne granita, and peach granita topped with a charming peach tuile and edible gold leaf. Dubbed as the "NEW LIGHT style shave ice", this parfait boasts a delicate melting granita texture and a kaleidoscope of flavors and sensations from the ice cream, jelly, and tapioca. Adding the extra red peach sauce enhances the fruity tartness, altering the dessert into a refreshing treat. Each spoonful reveals the dynamic balance of peach sweetness and acidity with a refreshing crunch that invigorates your summer spirit. Be sure to dig deep and scoop up various textures and flavors as you indulge.
Peach Jasmine Sparkling
As a crowning delight, the Peach Jasmine Sparkling is a refreshing drink that beautifully pairs peach, jasmine, and hibiscus. The glass features layers of fresh white peach and fragrant jasmine at the bottom, topped with a vibrant hibiscus sparkling concoction made with hibiscus, soda, and nectar. Finished with a delicate white flower floating atop, this mocktail captures the essence of a refreshing Japanese summer, offering a multisensory delight.
