Experience the Unique Afternoon Tea at SHIBUYA STREAM HOTEL

As the hustle and bustle of urban life continues, a moment of tranquility is often just what we need. SHIBUYA STREAM HOTEL, elegantly located in Tokyo's vibrant Shibuya district, presents a unique afternoon tea service starting May 1, 2026, at the Bar & Dining "TORRENT". This special offering, titled "STREAM Afternoon Tea - GREEN MEETS SESAMI -" invites guests to indulge in a sophisticated culinary experience that artfully weaves together the bitter notes of matcha and the rich essence of sesame.

The afternoon tea is designed with an adult palate in mind, focusing on the natural flavors of high-quality ingredients rather than pure sweetness. Guests will be able to savor the harmonious blend of matcha's slight bitterness and sesame's deep complexity. Each finely crafted dish showcases a variety of flavors and textures that transition elegantly from plate to plate, creating an unforgettable experience.

What’s On the Menu?

Top Tier: The Blend of Matcha and Sesame Flavors

The top tier features a stunning assortment of desserts highlighting the interplay between matcha and sesame. One of the signature items is a two-layer glass dessert combining subtly sweet white sesame blancmange and black sesame agar, elegantly topped with matcha sauce. This dish invites guests to appreciate the contrasting textures of smoothness and gel-like consistency while highlighting the diverse profiles of sesame. Another highlight is the Daigo matcha cake, a rolly cake that delivers a satisfying bitterness enriched with the gentle sweetness of Daigo beans and caramelized sesame.

A unique offering, reminiscent of a wrapped sesame tofu, is the matcha pudding that surprises with its creamy texture and soft elasticity. Each item is crafted to accentuate its distinct personality while maintaining a focus on texture and flavor contrasts.

Middle Tier: Diverse Flavors to Savor

The middle tier introduces a variety of savory dishes, including a croissant sandwich filled with smoked salmon and matcha sour cream, offering a delightful fusion of flavors. Also featured is a chickpea spread infused with roasted black sesame, bringing together a nutty aroma and gentle sweetness, served as a canape. Lastly, the impactful bamboo charcoal choux filled with matcha cream cheese and bacon tantalizes the tastebuds with its bold combination.

Bottom Tier: Seasonal Scones and More

For scone enthusiasts, the lower tier presents seasonal scones that blend black sesame paste with azuki beans for a rich flavor reminiscent of traditional sesame dumplings. Accompanied by a sweet soy glaze with roasted sesame powder, the scones offer a delightful balance of sweetness and umami.

Savory Plate: Japanese Inspirations

The savory plate features delights such as a paté de campagne tucked between matcha tuiles and a matcha-infused tartar made with seafood and avocado, showing how seamlessly matcha can enhance the flavors of seafood. To add a kick, they include a wasabi-enhanced bonbon featuring beans and black sesame cheese.

Refreshing Welcome Drink

To start the experience, guests will be greeted with the "Matcha Noir," a non-alcoholic drink that elegantly combines matcha with black sesame for a subtly sweet yet rounded flavor profile. It sets the perfect tone with its rich color and smooth taste.

Unlimited Beverage Options

To complement the afternoon tea, guests can enjoy a selection of beverages from TWG Tea, a renowned luxury tea brand from Singapore. Among the offerings are aromatic first-flush Darjeeling and timeless blends such as 1837 Black Tea. Guests can also enjoy unlimited coffee, lattes, cappuccinos, and more – ensuring that everyone finds their perfect pairing.
