Experience Refreshing Summer with Shine Muscat and Zunda Afternoon Tea in Ginza

Enjoy a Unique Afternoon Tea this Summer in Ginza

FANCL has introduced a special summer treat that is sure to delight both locals and visitors alike: the Shine Muscat and Zunda Afternoon Tea, available from July 1 to August 31 at the FANCL Restaurant Reiwa Honzen located on the 9th floor of Ginza Square. Priced at 5,300 yen (tax included), this exclusive offering promises a refreshing and elegant experience while enjoying the flavors of Japanese ingredients.

This afternoon tea features the juicy and sweet Shine Muscat grape, renowned for its exceptional taste and texture. The centerpiece is the Shine Muscat Daifuku, a whole grape carefully wrapped in a soft rice cake, showcasing the sweetness of the grape. Alongside this, guests can indulge in various seasonal delicacies such as Shine Muscat Tiramisu and Shine Muscat Cream Puff, all artfully crafted to celebrate the essence of summer.

In addition to the sweet treats, the menu includes savory options like Snapper Carpaccio with Zunda Sauce, highlighting the restaurant's dedication to authentic Japanese cuisine. To complement the delightful fare, a selection of five Japanese teas, including unlimited matcha, alongside fifteen varieties of caffeine-free teas, are available, allowing diners to immerse themselves in a serene and relaxing afternoon.

A Light Green Experience of Summer

The Shine Muscat and Zunda Afternoon Tea not only delights the palate but also provides a feast for the eyes with its vibrant green aesthetic. Utilizing the seasonal fava bean, which is turned into zunda—a sweet edamame paste—this tea set reflects the essence of summer with a refreshing medley of flavors. Each bite offers a rich umami experience, thanks to the traditional use of ingredients like toasted brown rice flour and the aromatic notes of hojicha and matcha.

Rich in nutrients, edamame harvested before it matures packs a wealth of protein, vitamins, and dietary fiber—a perfect summer treat for revitalizing the body. Not only does the afternoon tea look stunning, but it also serves as a healthy indulgence, emphasizing the restaurant's philosophy of mindful eating during the hot summer months.

Special Services

During your meal, you can enjoy two exclusive wagon services, serving homemade warabi mochi and freshly roasted hojicha. Guests can choose their preferred topping for the warabi mochi from options including kinako, black syrup, and zunda. The hojicha is prepared right before your eyes using a traditional roasting method, filling the air with a delightful, nutty aroma.
