Strawberry Delight: An Afternoon Tea Experience to Remember
From April 28 to June 30, 2025,
The Strings Hotel Hakata will host a limited-time afternoon tea that celebrates the sweet flavors of strawberries. With five strawberry-infused desserts, this event takes place across five cities in Japan, including Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, and Osaka.
Each box of extravagance is designed for those who truly appreciate the delightful tastes of strawberries. This elegant treat comprises an assortment of sweets and savories, all perfectly aligned with the vibrant tones of the strawberry season. Among the highlights of the menu is a luscious
matcha Mont Blanc, complete with rich matcha cream and an accompanying
matcha macaron. Guests can also opt for special drinks, including two unique concoctions that blend strawberries and matcha.
A Colorful Display of Strawberry Desserts
The presentation is nothing short of a visual feast. A glass dessert combines champagne with strawberries for a refreshing take, while the charming red cookie choux is filled with decadent strawberry cream. To add variety, guests will savor a light grapefruit gelée delicately layered within the strawberry mousse, and a delightful strawberry tart with creamy pistachio filling. Completing this journey of flavors is a crunchy Napoleon pie, sandwiched with rich custard cream, making full use of strawberries in five exquisite variations.
The savory section of the afternoon tea menu is no less impressive. Featured offerings include a luxurious
foie gras mousse and pistachio mille-feuille, a
pork pastrami bruschetta that’s accentuated with a raspberry-flavored cream cheese, and a cream soup made from turnips to balance out the sweetness of the experience.
Freshly Baked Scones Delivered to Your Table
Adding to the experience, freshly baked scones will be delivered right to your table, offering two varieties that promise a wonderful balance of crispy and moist textures. Guests can elevate their scone enjoyment with three types of condiments: a salted clotted cream, seasonal strawberry jam, and honey, each enhancing the experience.
A Selection of Premium Teas
To complement the food,
a wide selection of teas and soft drinks is available. Guests can choose between a standard drink plan featuring delightful tea or coffee options, or select the premium tea selection plan that allows unlimited servings of exquisite teas from the French brand
Mariage Frères.
