Experience the World of Tea at Tokyo Station Hotel
Located in the heart of Tokyo Station, the Tokyo Station Hotel offers an exclusive Afternoon Tea experience named 'Traveling Afternoon Tea', in collaboration with the famed luxury tea brand Newby. This limited-time event runs for only 13 days, allowing guests to leisurely explore diverse flavors inspired by the vibrant cultures of South Asia, specifically India and Nepal.
The menu celebrates the scentful spices and herbs of the region, beautifully paired with savory dishes. Newby's carefully selected teas complement the exotic flavors, making each visit feel like a worldwide journey without leaving Tokyo Station.
A Unique Culinary Experience
The star of this afternoon tea is the special original tea creation by Newby and the Tokyo Station Hotel, 'Silk & Steam'. This exquisite brew combines the smoky flavors of Lapsang Souchong with the delicate aroma of roses, resulting in an elegant and refined taste that’s perfect to enjoy with the 'Smoked Salmon and Cucumber Sandwich'.
The unique smokiness of this tea harmonizes beautifully with the flavors of the smoked salmon, enhanced by the rose's fragrant undertones. Additionally, the 'Sautéed Red Shrimp with Cumin' pairs beautifully with the Uva tea, where its sharp astringency accentuates the sweetness of the shrimp, creating a delightful taste experience. Another notable pairing is the tropical-infused 'Coconut Vérine' and Black Tropical tea, reminiscent of a journey through the Indian Ocean with its layered notes of papaya and coconut.
This exquisite journey through tea doesn't stop there. Upcoming offerings in November and December will explore the rich scents of spices, nuts, and roses from the Middle East. Then, in January and February of 2027, guests can experience the tea culture from the UK, home of Newby.
At the Atrium, guests are invited to unwind and savor the flavors while soaking in a stunning 9-meter high open space filled with natural light streaming from skylights above, surrounded by the historical red brick walls of the iconic station.
