Delight in the Summer Afternoon Tea at Bar Bellustar

Nestled on the 45th floor of BELLUSTAR TOKYO, A Pan Pacific Hotel, Bar Bellustar invites you to savor a seasonal delight with its exclusive "Summer Afternoon Tea," available on weekends and holidays from July 5 to August 31, 2025. Guests can indulge in a luxurious afternoon tea experience while taking in breathtaking panoramic views of Tokyo from approximately 200 meters above ground.

The afternoon tea set celebrates the essence of summer, showcasing exquisite sweets crafted by skilled patissiers. Each treat incorporates vibrant summer fruits such as mango, pineapple, and melon, alongside colorful summer vegetables like tomatoes and corn, allowing guests to experience the bounty of the sun in both taste and appearance.

One highlight is the "Sunflower Shortbread Sandwich," which features a delightful chocolate mousse with buttercream resembling a sunflower, paired with passion fruit mango jelly for a refreshing taste. The "Cocotte Melon Shortcake" offers a lovely combination of light chantilly cream with melon sauce and marinated fresh melon, while the "Pineapple and Coconut Dacquoise" strikes a perfect harmony of tropical flavors complemented by diced pineapple for texture.

For a unique twist, savor summer vegetable sweets such as the "Shiso Buttercream Macaron," delightfully fragrant with fresh shiso, the "Corn Madeleine," shaped to resemble corn and highlighting its sweetness and texture, and the "Tomato and White Wine Jelly Verrine," beautifully encapsulating the sweetness and acidity of refrigerated tomatoes. These inventive sweets showcase the culinary artistry of the patissiers.

The savory offerings are just as impressive, featuring a winter melon sauce flan, a tartlet with jamón serrano and pipérade, and steak sandwiches with chimichurri sauce that evoke the flavors of summer. Tropical influences shine through dishes like foie gras, elevating the overall experience.

A noteworthy feature of Bar Bellustar's afternoon tea is the curated seasonal specialty drinks created by the bartenders. This summer, guests can enjoy the refreshing "Frozen Pina Colada with Apple Cider and Passion Fruit," a mocktail designed to transport you away from the summer heat. In addition, a free-flow selection of teas curated by the beverage director includes 18 varieties ranging from black tea and herbal tea to Chinese tea and Japanese tea.

With expansive windows stretching from floor to ceiling, guests can relish the luxurious, sunlit panorama of Tokyo as they enjoy a delectable afternoon with friends and loved ones. It is an experience of the ultimate indulgence that perfectly combines delicious treats and stunning views.
