A Lavish Feast Awaits

The Afternoon Tea set is priced at ¥7,480 on weekdays and ¥7,980 on weekends and holidays. The menu features an enticing combination of a dim sum buffet, ten special chef-selected delicacies, and a beautiful birdcage-style stand for the desserts, which include four different sweets, complemented by fresh strawberries.

Chef Yanagiya designates an array of high-end ingredients in his special selection, which includes abalone, crab, and Wagyu beef. Each dish is meticulously crafted to ensure a delightful dining experience. Highlights include jellyfish salad with black vinegar strawberry sauce, smoked duck breast with spicy mango sauce and strawberries, crab and rapeseed flower terrine topped with coconut flakes, and the simply delectable ichiban crab in chili sauce.

A true standout is the sealed and steamed abalone, prepared delicately with a rich sauce made from dried scallops, serving as a flavorful backdrop for the other dishes. Dining at Dynasty becomes a journey through various flavors, enhancing the luxury of the experience.

Savor the Dim Sum

Patrons will enjoy freshly steamed dim sum delivered hot to their tables. Offerings include the refreshing Matcha shrimp dumpling, the lavender pork and vegetable dumpling, truffle-stuffed shrimp siu mai, and delicious crispy spring rolls filled with shrimp and vegetables. This is an opportunity to relish not just a meal, but an exquisite assortment tailored to please any palate.

Decadent Sweets and Fresh Strawberries

No afternoon tea is complete without dessert! The setup features four alluring sweets artfully displayed alongside fresh strawberries. Indulge in lychee-infused hawthorn jelly, sweet osmanthus warabi mochi filled with rich black sesame, and the delectable strawberry egg tart.
