As the leaves begin to turn and the sweet scent of fragrant flowers fills the air, The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho invites you to indulge in a unique cultural experience. From September 1 to November 30, 2026, guests can enjoy a meticulously crafted afternoon tea, themed around the beauty of autumn, known as 'Japanese Afternoon Tea - Karen.' This luxurious event captures the essence of the season with its breathtaking presentation and delightful flavors.
Embodying the spirit of autumn, each component of the tea features a palette inspired by nature's fall colors such as vibrant yellows, rich oranges, and deep reds. The afternoon tea draws guests into the serene aesthetics of Japanese culture, transitioning from the dainty aroma of fragrant osmanthus flowers to the brilliant hues of maple leaves.
The highlight of this culinary experience is the 'Fall Flowers Sushi,' where skilled sushi chefs craft beautiful sushi inspired by the autumn theme. Among the delightful offerings is a striking salmon sushi adorned with autumn leaves, complemented by sweet chestnuts wrapped in colorful daikon. Additionally, the chefs have incorporated edible chrysanthemum flowers designed to reflect the golden hues of osmanthus.
On the main stand, you will find elegantly crafted hand-formed sushi including fatty tuna, sea urchin, sweet shrimp, and snow crab beautifully garnished with fish roe and vibrant micro greens. The colorful rolls, such as the smoked salmon roll with cream cheese, avocado, and capers, add more visual appeal and flavor to the assortment.
The appetizers elevate the meal with seasonal specialties like a refreshing autumn salad and soy milk espuma topped with ikura (salmon roe) and shiso leaves. Further enriching the culinary journey is a delicate chawanmushi (Japanese egg custard) infused with the umami of cod roe and mushrooms, offering a comforting taste of home.
This unforgettable experience is complemented by a selection of seasonal desserts showcasing an array of fresh fruits and sweet confections, perfectly capturing the flavors of autumn.
