About the Autumn Fruit Afternoon Tea
This autumn-themed afternoon tea highlights the rich flavors of seasonal Japanese fruits in a refined setting. The sweets menu is supervised by Yusuke Aoki, a world-champion pastry chef, ensuring exquisite creations that celebrate the tastes of fall. Guests can enjoy five types of sweets featuring fruits at their peak, including a Shine Muscat tart, cinnamon fig cake, Japanese chestnut Mont Blanc, marron savarin, and a black-kimuchi tea panna cotta paired with persimmon compote.
The savory selection, crafted by Executive Sous Chef Takashi Harada, includes four dishes that incorporate autumn ingredients such as persimmon and pear. Highlights include a salmon mille-feuille crepe inspired by French galette, a Wagyu beef and raisin pie, a roast chicken sandwich with chestnut and rosemary pesto, and a persimmon and burrata cheese tart. The set also comes with two types of scones—plain and fig-cinnamon—served with apple jam and clotted cream.
Guests can enjoy the afternoon tea inside the lounge or on the terrace, where the vibrant autumn colors of Sekisui-en garden provide a serene backdrop. The menu pairs beautifully with fragrant teas as well as champagne and wines, available for an additional charge.
