Indulge in Autumn Delights at NEW LIGHT

The vibrant season of autumn is upon us, and there's no better way to celebrate this rich time of year than with an exquisite afternoon tea experience at NEW LIGHT in the heart of Shibuya. From October 1 to November 16, this elegant venue invites guests to indulge in a seasonal harvest afternoon tea, featuring a lavish assortment of sweets and savory treats that highlight the very best flavors of fall.

Located on the third floor of MIYASHITA PARK, NEW LIGHT is known for its casual yet upscale atmosphere, where the rustic charm of wood-fired cooking meets an extensive selection of fine wines. This seasonal afternoon tea features an enticing variety of dishes artfully crafted to celebrate the gifts of autumn, including ingredients like chestnuts (kuriguri), pumpkin, and various fruits.

An Exquisite Autumn Menu

One of the standout offerings of the afternoon tea is the Chestnut Pumpkin Caramel Mousse. This creamy dessert utilizes a generous amount of pumpkin with its subtly sweet flavor, complemented by a bite of caramel sauce and diced pieces of pumpkin. Each spoonful melds silky textures with delightful contrasts — a perfect reflection of the beauty of autumn.

Another signature creation is the Camembert Cheesecake, which combines rich French Camembert with fresh cream cheese from Zao, Miyagi Prefecture. This delightful cheesecake is baked to perfection, with crunchy walnuts added for a unique texture. Topping it off with honey transforms the dish into a marvelous exploration of flavor, making it an ideal pairing with a glass of wine.

Additional dessert options include Red Grape and Champagne Jelly, Japanese Chestnut Mont Blanc Shortcake, and Cassis and Sesame Macarons, each showcasing the vibrant colors and flavors of the fall season.

On the savory side, one cannot miss the Fig and Awaji Burrata Caprese. This dish is a beautiful combination of sweet figs and creamy burrata, making it a fantastic choice for those seeking a rich yet light bite. Other savory highlights include Prosciutto with Fried Gnocco, the New Light Burger, and delicious Mushroom and Pancetta Cake, ensuring that the menu is as delightful as it is filling.

Halloween Special Edition
