Experience an Exquisite Melon-Themed Afternoon Tea in Roppongi

This May, immerse yourself in the delightful world of melons at Hotel & Residence Roppongi, where Bar & Restaurant COCONOMA introduces a specially curated afternoon tea, focused solely on the celebrated Shizuoka mask melon. Available throughout May and June, this limited offering showcases the season's freshness and creativity, making for an unforgettable culinary experience.

The Star: Shizuoka Mask Melon

The highlight of this afternoon tea is the renowned Shizuoka mask melon, known for its rich fragrance and melt-in-your-mouth sweetness. The enticing menu is more than just aesthetically pleasing; it engages all five senses, inviting guests on a flavorful adventure.

One of the standout items is the "Pull Me Up" cake, which offers an interactive experience as guests gently lift a film to unveil a cascade of luscious melon cream, reminiscent of a beautiful dress. Other visual delights include a macaron shaped like the intricately netted skin of the melon, and a vibrant melon cassata, presenting a mini melon patch that begs for a photo opportunity.

And the dessert lineup doesn’t stop there. It features seven unique melon-inspired sweets, including the nostalgic melon-pan muffin, and a refreshing melon soda jelly paired with silky panna cotta, ensuring every sweet tooth is satisfied.

Satisfying Savory Options

On the savory side, guests will enjoy an Egg Benedict made with salt butter bread—crafted from domestically produced wheat and butter—that accentuates the melon’s sweetness with its rich egg yolk. The menu also includes classic truffle fries and raisin scones served with melon jam, bringing a fulfilling balance to the sweet offerings.

The limited-time special drink, the "Melon Lassi," adds a refreshing touch to the experience, visually celebrating the arrival of early summer with its bright and inviting presentation.
