A Taste of Luxury at Tokyo Marriott Hotel

From March 1 to April 30, 2026, the Tokyo Marriott Hotel will be hosting an exceptional afternoon tea featuring the unique sweetness of Amarin strawberries alongside their own handmade bean to bar chocolate. Held at the hotel’s Lounge & Dining G, guests can experience a delightful combination of nature and culinary excellence in the serene environment of Gotenyama.

The Essence of Amarin Strawberries

Amarin strawberries, a brand renowned for their rich sweetness, will take center stage in this luxurious afternoon tea. Developed in 2016 in Saitama, these strawberries are celebrated for their remarkable flavor, characterized by high sweetness and a subtle tartness. They are visually stunning too, with a brilliant red hue that adds to their appeal. In early 2024, the Amarin strawberries were awarded the Gold Medal at the second annual Strawberry Championship, solidifying their status as a top-tier fruit.

Bean to Bar Chocolate Experience

The term 'Bean to Bar' refers to the entire process of chocolate making, from selecting the cacao beans to crafting them into bars. At the Tokyo Marriott Hotel, skilled chocolatiers handle everything in-house, ensuring that each sweet treat is perfectly paired with high-quality chocolate. Guests can look forward to tasting chocolates crafted from a blend of cacao from Madagascar, Colombia, Ghana, and Panama, featuring a rich cocoa content that enhances their dessert experience.

A Gastronomic Delight

The afternoon tea menu is meticulously curated, showcasing a delightful range of sweets and savories that celebrate both the strawberries and chocolate. On the sweet side, guests will be treated to eight delicacies including:

• - Layered Parfait: Fresh Amarin strawberries layered with strawberry and lemon jelly, sweet chocolate cream, cocoa sponge, and raspberry sauce.
• - Strawberry Shortcake: A classic combination of cocoa sponge, bean to bar milk chocolate cream, and Amarin strawberries.
• - Strawberry Tart: Featuring a sweet chocolate custard topped with luscious Amarin strawberries.
