Four Seasons Hotel Marunouchi Tokyo: A Taste of Autumn

Experience the essence of autumn at Four Seasons Hotel Marunouchi Tokyo, located in the heart of Chiyoda Ward. From September 16 to October 23, this luxurious hotel offers a delightful afternoon tea themed 'Sweet Potato and Chestnut.' At MAISON MARUNOUCHI, guests are invited to savor seasonal flavors while enjoying a splendid view of Tokyo Station, making for a truly indulgent experience.

The Richness of Autumn's Bounty

Sweet potatoes and chestnuts are two staples of the Japanese autumn season. As they ripen underground, sweet potatoes absorb sunlight, becoming sweeter, while chestnuts wait patiently, wrapped in their protective husk. This afternoon tea features these beloved ingredients prominently, capturing the unique flavors of the season in both sweet and savory forms.

Highlighted Sweets and Savories

This afternoon’s treat showcases an incredible and varied selection:

1. Mont Blanc Black Currant: A perfect blend of chestnut cream enriched by the tanginess of black currant. A delightful layering of hazelnut mousse, creamy vanilla chantilly, and crispy meringue creates a depth of flavor.

2. Chestnut Cracker Choux with Tonka: Fluffy choux pastry filled with smooth chestnut cream and hazelnut praline then encased in fragrant tonka bean chantilly. The combination of crunchy pastry and rich nuts offers a truly luxurious treat.

3. Baked Sweet Potato Verrine with Hojicha: This glass dessert layers sweet potato compote with aromatic hojicha mousse and soba tea crumble. Finished with sweet potato chips, it captures the essence of autumn in both texture and taste.

Additionally, a pleasing variety of six savory dishes includes:

• - Sardine Tart with Pipérade: Featuring smoked sardines atop pipérade, accompanied by pickled garlic and olives.
• - Sweet Potato and Chestnut Curry Pie: A flaky pastry filled with a spiced curry blend.
• - Pumpkin Cream with Pumpkin Seed: Enhancing the natural sweetness of pumpkin in a savory delicacy.

Refreshing Welcome Drink

Upon arrival, guests are treated to a refreshing mocktail named Emerald Bloom, featuring the sweetness of juicy pears, the depth of green tea, and the floral notes of elderflower. It serves not only as a delightful palate cleanser but also pairs perfectly with the savory offerings of the afternoon tea.
