This stunning afternoon tea is inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, the 'Portrait of a Lady,' also known as 'La Belle Ferronnière,' which will debut in Japan at the exhibition. With an emphasis on the rich gastronomic culture of Renaissance Europe and the innovative spirit of that era, the hotel's culinary team has crafted a menu that embodies elegance and sophistication.

• - Savories: Five different savory options including creamy mozzarella mousse with pistachio praline, and seafood mingled with lemon-scented arancini topped with caviar.
• - Finger Sandwiches: Indulgent selections include Milanese-style breaded veal sandwiches and a delectable roasted chicken sandwich with caponata and arugula.
• - Sweets: Delight in eight exquisite dessert creations such as caramel-filled amaretti cookies, rich tiramisu, and vibrant strawberry macarons.

Each afternoon, this luxurious experience will be offered from noon until 5 PM at a price of ¥9,700, inclusive of tax and service charge. Guests are encouraged to reserve their spots early due to limited seating and the high demand expected for this unique event.
