The Intercontinental Tokyo Bay is elevating dessert experiences with its latest seasonal offerings starting from September 1. Guests can now savor the luxurious 'Yamanashi Shine Muscat and Sunshine Red Parfait' and the delightful 'Moonlit Salted Caramel Pancakes,' designed to celebrate the beauty of autumn and the moon viewing tradition in Japan.
A Taste of Luxury in Every Bite
The 'Yamanashi Shine Muscat and Sunshine Red Parfait' showcases the finest grapes sourced directly from Yamanashi's esteemed vineyards. This dessert perfectly blends the succulent sweetness of the Shine Muscat grapes with the rare Sunshine Red variety, a new breed cultivated exclusively in Yamanashi. The parfait is adorned with a visually stunning petit gâteau featuring fresh Shine Muscat and Sunshine Red grapes, along with white chocolate designed to evoke the delicate petals of a flower.
Inside the glass, guests will discover a delightful combination of fresh Shine Muscat fruit, creamy grape ice cream, and crunchy chocolate bits, all expertly layered over rich sauces and jellies that include muscat grape sauce, creamy chantilly, and the fragrant notes of pomegranate and rosé wine jelly. Every bite is a symphony of flavors, with the sweet grapes harmonizing beautifully with the refreshing tartness and fragrance of the pomegranate and rosé, delivering an aromatic depth that lingers on the palate.
Moonlit Salted Caramel Pancakes
In reflection of the autumn moon viewing custom, the 'Moonlit Salted Caramel Pancakes' is a seasonal centerpiece, artfully created to resemble an amber-colored full moon against a night sky. The pancakes are imbued with a rich chestnut flavor, filled with custard cream and crispy pastry layers, and generously drizzled with a silky salted caramel chantilly on top. The dish is garnished with a whimsical cocoa tuile shaped like a rabbit, and hidden within the amber-hued chocolate sauce is a delightful surprise of caramelized pear, currants, and a scoop of butter-salted caramel ice cream. Guests can enhance their experience by adding a drizzle of hazelnut praline and chocolate sauce over the top, bringing an interactive element to the dish that can be enjoyed as the moon melts away.
Combining these elements with the plate’s artful garnishes of salted caramel sauce, crispy hazelnut praline, and refreshing raspberries creates a complex yet harmonious balance of sweet, salty, and tangy flavors.
A Luxurious Tea Time Experience
These seasonal sweets are served against the backdrop of a luxurious and serene environment, making it the perfect indulgence during afternoon tea. Located in two exquisite lounges—New York Lounge and Hudson Lounge—guests can immerse themselves in a lavish atmosphere while enjoying these carefully crafted desserts. The seasonal menu will be available from September 15 to November 5.
