Shangri-La Tokyo's Seasonal Afternoon Teas

As the leaves begin to turn and the air gets a bit crisper, Shangri-La Tokyo is set to offer an enchanting experience with two specially themed afternoon teas, starting with the Halloween Afternoon Tea on October 1 and transitioning to the Autumn Afternoon Tea on November 1 at The Lobby Lounge.

Indulge in Seasonal Flavors

During these tea events, guests are invited to explore dishes crafted from autumn's bounty, featuring ingredients such as chestnuts, pumpkins, apples, and seasonal fish. Each menu is designed to invoke the essence of fall and the spirit of celebration.

Halloween Afternoon Tea Menu (October 1 - October 31)

One of the stellar highlights of the Halloween Afternoon Tea is the Mont Blanc, made with rich French chestnuts, delicately sweetened, and topped with delicious chestnut puree. Another featured sweet is the Pumpkin Cruffin, combining crispy croissant dough with a unique pumpkin cream and caramelized walnuts, elegantly adorned with a spooky chocolate ghost for the Halloween theme.

Guests can also delight in Merveille, a traditional French treat combining chocolate meringue with brownie, beautifully decorated with cat ears to capture the Halloween spirit. For a whimsical addition, the Caramel Canele and Dried Fruit Cheesecake offers a playful shape resembling a mushroom, paired with a tart mascarpone cheesecake featuring semi-dried apricots and figs.

Further enhancing the display, the Apple and Tea Parfait layers aromatic tea jelly with cinnamon and tart apple, topped with stunning chocolate art evocative of autumn's charm.

Autumn Afternoon Tea Menu (November 1 - November 30)

As November rolls in, guests can enjoy the Autumn Afternoon Tea, featuring similar delectable sweets but with seasonal decor changes. The Pumpkin Cruffin becomes adorned with a pumpkin-shaped chocolate, and the Mont Blanc continues to shine in its simple elegance.

Savory items are also part of the offer, designed to reflect the season's colors and flavors. The Purple Sweet Potato and Cinnamon Soup is served warm, innovative and comforting for chilly autumn days. Each sip is enriched by the subtle sweetness of cinnamon.

The Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Toast Sandwich elegantly combines flavors with playful decorations: during Halloween, ghost shapes fashioned from pickles accompany it, while the Autumn season sees a pumpkin bread with autumn leaves crafted into the presentation. Another favorite is the Mushroom Pie with Fresh Truffle, which immerses guests in the luxurious aroma of truffles and mushrooms, creating a gourmet experience.

Adding a splash of color to the delights, the Sardine and Egg Roll Sushi, the Marinated Snow Crab with Autumn Eggplant Puree, and assorted scones, including the classic style and black sesame, all contribute to a delightful afternoon tea experience.

Warm Atmosphere and Exquisite Service

Amidst the hustle and bustle of Tokyo's vibrant atmosphere, Shangri-La Tokyo provides an elegant retreat. Each afternoon tea offers an escape where guests can unwind while enjoying sumptuous seasonal flavors in a beautifully curated setting.

The event promises to be a feast for both the eyes and the palate, complemented by a fine selection of teas to enhance the experience.
