Experience a Whimsical Afternoon Tea at Conrad Tokyo's Botanical Garden

A Whimsical Afternoon Tea at Conrad Tokyo's Botanical Garden

Starting May 1, 2026, Conrad Tokyo is inviting you to indulge in a unique afternoon tea experience at the 28th-floor bar and lounge, “Twenty Eight.” Aptly named “Botanical Garden”, this afternoon tea event celebrates the arrival of early summer, offering a visually stunning and flavorful journey inspired by vibrant plants and fragrant blooms.

Embrace the Essence of Matcha

The menu features an array of exquisite matcha delicacies made entirely with premium Uji matcha from Kyoto. Guests can delight in five beautiful sweets and three savory treats, all thoughtfully paired with fruits and herbs to enhance the matcha's lush green hue and depth. The experience begins with a welcome drink: a Uji Matcha Salted Milk Foam Latte, crafted from the finest matcha by Yamamasa Koyamaen.

Not to be missed, the classic scones, served plain and with a seasonal matcha and white chocolate twist, are sure to delight gourmands.

Luxuriate in Seasonal Offerings

For those looking for premium offerings, the deluxe afternoon tea includes a celebratory glass of champagne and a fruit plate featuring melons from Japan. From 6:30 PM, guests can also enjoy the “Matcha and Aroma Night Tea”, which features a free-flowing selection of drinks, including sparkling wine and a medley of savory and sweet treats.

A Feast for the Senses

Each dessert is a culinary masterpiece representing the garden's vibrant flora:

- Matcha and Chocolate Tart with Rosemary Aroma: This tart features a delightful mix of orange jelly, rosemary-infused chocolate ganache, and smooth matcha mousse—a harmonious blend that awakens the palate, adorned with edible mini leaves that evoke morning dew.
- Matcha and Lemongrass Cheesecake with Jasmine Mint Cream: A luxurious cheesecake enhanced by a hint of lemongrass and finished with a light, refreshing cream.
- Matcha Mousse with Strawberry and Basil Jelly: Smooth matcha mousse layered with a jelly that brings together the rich flavors of strawberry and basil.
- Matcha Cake with Ginger Lemon and Raspberry: This soft sponge cake captures the essence of matcha, with an added zing from lemon confit and ginger—topped with vibrant raspberries for that extra touch.
- Matcha and Timur Berry Jelly with Coconut Sauce and Aloe: Featuring a unique combination of jasmine and spicy timur berry, this dessert is a thrilling exploration of taste and texture.

Savory Delights

The savory treats are equally enticing:

- Matcha Bread Cordon Bleu: A delightful rendition of the classic dish, this features chicken, cheddar cheese, salami, and sun-dried tomatoes nestled in aromatic matcha bread.
- Lobster and Avocado Guacamole: Sweet lobster elevated with a creamy avocado dip, bringing a delightful contrast of flavors and textures.
- Botanical Dauphinoise Potatoes: Layered with bolognese and topped with a salad greens powder, this dish offers a refined fusion of meat and gentle bitter notes of herbs.
- Zucchini Tart with Scallops and Basil Aroma: Thinly sliced zucchini dressed with basil, providing the illusion of pasta topped with beautifully glazed scallops—elements combined like jewels on a plate.
