Discover the Autumn and Halloween Afternoon Tea at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo
The renowned Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, located in the heart of Tokyo's Bunkyo district, is set to launch its delightful autumn-themed afternoon tea called the "Harvest Afternoon Tea" starting September 1, 2025. This special event will take place in the Lobby Lounge "Le Jardin", which offers stunning views of the hotel's beautiful garden.
Seasonal Flavors Abound
The theme for the autumn afternoon tea is "Harvest of Fragrance and Abundance", featuring an array of seasonal ingredients that embody the essence of fall. Indulge in delectable treats made with ingredients such as Shine Muscat grapes, pumpkins, chestnuts, mushrooms, and pears. This immersive culinary experience will allow guests to savor the rich flavors of the season while enjoying a calm, relaxing moment in an elegant setting.
From October 1 to 31, the top tier of sweets will transform into Halloween creations, adding an extra layer of whimsy and festivity to the experience. The sweets, playfully designed to resemble ghosts and bats, will not only tantalize your taste buds but will also delight your eyes with their charming aesthetics.
Sweets to Savor
At the top tier of the tea set, four adorable seasonal sweets will await. Guests can look forward to the "Muscat Jelly," a refreshing treat that encapsulates giant grapes in a clear jelly, accompanied by pear compote and fresh Muscat grapes. During October, this will be presented as the "Spider Muscat Jelly", adorned with a spider web motif.
The "Pumpkin and Black Sesame Mont Blanc" combines a velvety pumpkin cream with fragrant black sesame mousse, transformed into a Halloween-themed sweet in October. The "Pear Mousse", which pairs diced pears and sweet potatoes in white wine sauce, will take on a more eerie look as the "Spooky Mousse" for Halloween. Lastly, the "Chestnut Sablé" offers a crispy cookie adorned with chestnut cream, while in October, it will appear as the "Bat Chestnut Sablé".
The middle tier features traditional plain scones alongside seasonal favorites like the popular "Chestnut Scone" and the richly seasoned "Apple Cinnamon Scone" made with dried apples. Guests can enjoy these with clotted cream and various jams, including fig clotted cream and cassis orange jam for a delightful twist on flavor.
On the lower tier, the savory selections include the creamy "Chestnut Velouté with Spice Stick," “Persimmon and Salmon Pancake” that balances the sweet notes of persimmon with savory salmon, and the "Mushroom Tart" featuring sautéed maitake, shimeji, and mushroom paste, topped with a fluffy mushroom mousse to capture the richness of mushrooms.
An Enchanting Evening High Tea
For those seeking a more luxurious evening experience, the "Tsukimi Evening High Tea" takes place after traditional afternoon tea hours, allowing guests to savor the flavors of autumn alongside a glass of champagne while basking in the evening glow.
The hors d'oeuvres display features gourmet options such as ginger-flavored panna cotta, duck roast, and the seasonal persimmon and salmon pancake.
Guests will also be treated to a hearty chef's special roast beef, served with rich gravy, horseradish sauce, and herb salt, followed by a sweet conclusion of pear and chestnut chantilly paired with coffee or tea.
Immerse yourself in a tranquil evening under the moonlight while enjoying this extraordinary culinary experience.
