In the middle tier, the classic plain scone remains a favorite among guests, accompanied by a unique fig scone that accentuates the sweetness of figs with a subtle touch of salt. These are best enjoyed with homemade jams made from pear and yuzu, alongside clotted cream enriched with hazelnuts and almonds.

The bottom tier presents a flavorful assortment of savory options, including the crispy "Ham and Fig Croffle," which combines delectable layers of ham with sweet figs, and the "Seafood Risotto Croquette," which reveals a golden risotto inside when bitten into. The traditional "Coronation Chicken Sandwich" brings a hint of curry flavor, enhancing the classic British treat. Also included is a jelly featuring the rich essence of Pacific saury, paired with a smoky eggplant tartar, creating a delightful balance of sweet and savory.

Evening High Tea with a Twist

The hors d'oeuvre menu features vibrant and decadent options, including "Pumpkin Orange Soup," a carrot cake studded with bunny cookies, and the delectable "Truffle Polenta with Porcini Mushrooms." The middle tier includes the delicious roast beef prepared in the style of vitello tonnato, tuna tartine with raspberry, and duck prosciutto paired with pear compote, showcasing a delightful combination of flavors.
