Experience Enchanting Christmas Afternoon Tea at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo

Celebrate the Holiday Season with a Festive Afternoon Tea

Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, managed by Chihiro Tomihiko, invites you to immerse yourself in the festive spirit with their Christmas Afternoon Tea starting from November 1, 2026. Held at the exquisite lobby lounge "Le Jardin," patrons can enjoy an afternoon filled with charming sweets inspired by the Christmas season, including creative representations of Christmas trees, snowmen, and gift boxes, alongside a selection of warm savory items perfect for winter.

A Whimsical Tea Experience

Your afternoon tea journey begins with a delightful bowl of "Turnip Soup with Mushroom Duxelles," featuring the gentle sweetness of turnips and fragrant mushroom mixture, an exceptional way to start the festive experience.

On the upper tier of the tea stand, guests will find a series of stunning sweets such as "Pistachio Brownie," made with rich chocolate batter blended with bitter orange peels, and adorned with pistachio cream shaped like a Christmas tree. The "Mousse au Manjari," a chocolate mousse fashioned in the style of a Buche de Noel, also makes its appearance, complemented by a cheese mousse shaped snowman served with a berry verrine, and delightful cookies designed like present boxes.

On the middle tier, two varieties of scones await: the traditional "Plain Scone," beloved from the start of the afternoon tea offering, and a "Stollen Scone" enriched with rum-soaked dried fruits. These are served alongside clotted cream flavored with pistachio and caramel, as well as mixed berry jam for a delightful experience.

The lower tier features an array of savory delights, including delightful "Open Sandwiches" with smoked salmon and cauliflower cream, a hearty "Vol-au-Vent" filled with chicken and porcini mushroom stew, and croquettes made with lily bulbs and truffles, all offering winter-inspired flavors.

Special Santa Claus Greeting on Christmas Day

On December 25, 2026, a unique experience is offered with the "Christmas Afternoon Tea with Santa Claus Greeting" where guests can enjoy their afternoon tea and then capture special memories with Santa Claus in a designated photo area. This special plan includes a celebratory glass of champagne and a free flow of approximately 10 seasonal drinks, alongside a generous three-hour time to relax and savor the festive offerings.

For families, Kid's Afternoon Tea is available for children under 10, ensuring delightful holiday moments for all.

Evening High Tea for a Cozy Winter Night

As evening approaches, guests can transition to a more relaxed setting with the "Evening High Tea" experience. Starting at 6:00 PM, the evening high tea begins with a glass of champagne and a three-tiered platter of appetizers, including several favorites from the afternoon tea.

On the upper tier, guests can find repeated delights like "Open Sandwiches with Salmon and Cauliflower," "Vol-au-Vent," and croquettes featuring lily bulbs and truffles, all maintaining the winter warmth theme. The middle tier showcases dishes utilizing seasonal ingredients, like beef paired with a sweet tart cherry and beet sauce, alongside a unique dish of yellowtail and turnip confit with yuzu. On the lower tier, guests will enjoy a creamy burdock root soup, duck ham tortilla, and a rolled dish of sea bream and daikon.

The main course features the chef's special roast beef served with gravy, freshly grated horseradish, and herb salt, followed by a festive "Strawberry Mousse" served alongside coffee or tea.
