Delight in the Fall Harvest at The Westin Tokyo's Afternoon Teas

The Westin Tokyo, known for its urban wellness experience, invites guests to relish the flavors of autumn with two exclusive afternoon tea offerings at their elegant lobby lounge, The Lounge. Running from September 1 to November 3, 2026, guests can indulge in a luxurious selection of seasonal delicacies reflecting the essence of the harvest season.

A Taste of Seasonal Splendor

During weekends and holidays, guests can enjoy the "Autumn Harvest Afternoon Tea," which showcases a three-tiered tea stand brimming with treats made from Kumamoto's famous chestnuts and fresh Shine Muscats, among other seasonal fruits like pears and apples. The weekday version, the "Weekday Afternoon Tea," is a unique offering limited to just 40 servings per day, featuring a curated selection of seasonal sweets and savory items elegantly arranged on custom glass plates.

Weekend Afternoon Tea Highlights

The weekend evening is adorned with a bountiful array of vibrant autumn-themed desserts. Guests will experience delights such as:

• - Pear Blancmange with Late Harvest Sauce: A refreshing pear compote served alongside a rich sauce made from the concentrated sweetness and aromatic notes of the 'Rurekche' pear.
• - Kumamoto Chestnut Mont Blanc Tart: A wonderful combination of flavors that highlight the nuts’ rich taste.
• - Earl Grey and Chestnut Roll Cake: Featuring a moist base wrapped around chestnut-flavored custard cream and Earl Grey-infused whipped cream.
• - Shine Muscat Verrine: An elegant dessert allowing the fresh flavors of the Shine Muscat grape to shine through.

Also featured is the beloved Westin Cream Puff, presented in a size perfect for afternoon tea.

Savory Offerings

The savory options are just as enticing, including:

• - Mini dogs filled with roast Yamayuri pork
• - Pumpkin and bacon quiche
• - A unique soba dish topped with flower mushroom garnished with grated daikon.

Each afternoon tea session concludes with freshly baked scones, made with yogurt and buttermilk and infused with the seasonal aroma of chestnuts and almonds.

Weekday Afternoon Tea Experience

On weekdays, The Lounge presents a more intimate tea experience. The offerings include:

• - Grape Jelly & Rurekche Sauce Blancmange: Featuring luscious grape jelly paired with pear blancmange.
• - Earl Grey Tiramisu: A sponge cake soaked in Earl Grey syrup layered with luxurious mascarpone cream, inspired by the hotel’s gardens.
• - Seasonal sweets alongside gourmet selections like crab and cauliflower flan with caviar, wild mushroom quiche, and croissant sandwiches filled with smoked salmon and cream cheese — a true testament to the hotel's culinary excellence.
