Experience the Essence of Summer with Fairmont Tokyo's Peach and Champagne Afternoon Tea

Introduction

Fairmont Tokyo, located on the shores of Tokyo Bay, is set to celebrate its first anniversary with a unique offering. From July 1, 2026, their luxurious lobby lounge, Vue Mer, will delight guests with two distinctive afternoon tea experiences inspired by ripe summer peaches.

Afternoon Tea Details

French Afternoon Tea: Peach and Champagne

Culminating in a splendid marriage of flavors, the French Afternoon Tea brings forth an exquisite pairing of champagne and peach. This special menu features delightful desserts, including a "Peach & Champagne Tart" decorated with popping candy for a playful touch, and a "Peach Melba Meringue" that artfully encapsulates the delicate sweetness of the red peach surrounded by airy meringue.

Savory items such as "Foie Gras Peach Melba"—a multi-layered treat of champagne jelly and foie gras mousse—and "Beef Cheek Terrine" served with refreshing peach pickles complement the sweet selections, ensuring a comprehensive peach-filled sensory experience.

Japanese Afternoon Tea: The Essence of Peach

On the Japanese side, inspired by sushi chef's finesse, the Japanese Afternoon Tea highlights the natural sweetness of peaches alongside the deep and aromatic flavors of sake and sake lees. This tea offers lighter fare such as "Inari Sushi with Semi-Dried Peach Pickles" and rice balls featuring white fish marinated in sake lees, showcasing a delicate balance of flavors.

Sweet options include "Peach Amber Candy" and "White Peach Warabi Mochi," elegantly presented to enhance the enjoyment of seasonal peaches in true Japanese fashion.

Combining elements from both teas, the trolley service allows guests to savor colorful peach tarts and champagne jelly paired with fresh peaches, represented beautifully.

Additional Seasonal Offerings

Alongside the afternoon teas, Vue Mer also introduces an elaborately designed "High Tea" menu featuring peach-inspired savory items such as "Smoked Salmon and Peach Tart" and a refreshing dessert of "Peach and Lemon Tart". All of which can be savored in a scenic backdrop of Tokyo’s skyline transitioning from twilight to night.

Desserts such as the "Peach Parfait"—a delicate layering of champagne jelly, peach sorbet, and panna cotta scented with peach liqueur—also make their debut, where guests can indulge in these stylish treats throughout the day and into the night.

In celebration of their first anniversary, Fairmont Tokyo offers exclusive packages, including the original plush mascot "Celina Jr. from NICI" with certain reservations.
