Discover the Night Sky with An Enchanting Afternoon Tea

At SHIBUYA STREAM HOTEL, located in the heart of Shibuya, a unique afternoon tea experience awaits you from September 1 to September 30, 2025. Under the theme 'Catch the Star,' the Bar & Dining "TORRENT" invites you to indulge in a culinary journey that captures the essence of the starry night sky.

The vibrant neon lights of Shibuya mask the celestial beauty hidden above, and this afternoon tea aims to bring the stars a little closer. Each delightful sweet and savory item, artfully arranged on a star-shaped stand, represents the wonders of outer space, sparking joy and inspiration through taste and presentation. This special offering is a collaborative creation by the talented chefs and staff at TORRENT, who spent time experimenting and conceptualizing the flavors and colors reminiscent of a dazzling night sky over Shibuya.

One of the highlights of this afternoon tea is the inclusion of a ticket package for the "Cosmic Planetarium Shibuya," an amazing facility that continues to explore the magic of the night sky within Shibuya. This package invites you to experience the stars both on your plate and in an immersive viewing experience.

Welcome Drink: A Refreshing Toast to Autumn

As you begin your journey with a welcome drink, the 'Magic Hour Soda' awaits. This non-alcoholic cocktail combines sweet potato syrup with a refreshing splash of lemon and sparkling soda, creating a delightful vision of the fall season. The colors reflect the shifting hues of the sky, artfully garnished with a crescent-shaped lemon peel to encapsulate a dramatic story in a glass.

Upper Tier: Captivating Starry Sweets

The upper tier of the afternoon tea features an array of delightful bite-sized desserts designed to tempt your taste buds and photography skills. Among these is a strawberry and butterfly pea gradient lemon jelly, representing a sunset, and a stunning 'Saturn Chocolate,' crafted with coffee cream and raspberry mousse inside a chocolate shell. The lush roll cake, subtly infused with lemon and topped with caramelized La France pear, evokes the image of the first star to appear at dusk. Additionally, there's a galaxy tart filled with juicy shine muscat grapes, and a chocolate tuile resembling an autumn star waiting to be discovered.

Lower Tier: Stellar Savory Treats

The lower tier presents a fascinating selection of savory plates, bringing to life the theme of the universe. The celebrated scones, including the classic Guérande salt scone and a chocolate chip variant that resembles the rugged appearance of colliding planets during the 'Giant Impact,' will complement your experience. To enhance the enjoyment, orange jam adds an exciting flavor twist.

Also, the savory plate features lychee and grapefruit jelly encased in a delicate gelatin membrane that becomes a miniature Earth, alongside a marble-patterned jelly of ham and parsley symbolizing Jupiter. The dark yet elegant bamboo charcoal puffs embody the essence of a black hole, creating an imaginative reflection of a cosmic voyage.

A Touch of Cool: Dessert to Refresh

For those lingering summer days, a separate glass dessert features mint chocolate ice cream, symbolizing Uranus with its bright mint-green color. This refreshing treat is perfect alongside the welcome drink, providing a much-needed cooldown.

Infinite Beverage Options

An essential part of afternoon tea is the delightful selection of beverages. Guests can enjoy an unlimited offer of teas from the renowned TWG Tea brand, which includes eight varieties of fine teas, alongside an assortment of coffees, lattes, and iced beverages to complement the gathering.

As a special touch, each table is adorned with uniquely designed tabletop menus featuring the Milky Way, adding to the thematic atmosphere of the experience and encouraging guests to share their journey on social media.
