About the Collaboration and Menu

The afternoon tea set, called “Journey Through the Sea,” creatively expresses popular aquarium animals such as the sea otter duo “Kira” and “Mei,” dugong “Serena,” and many others through themed sweets and savory items arranged on a three-tiered stand. The menu also includes a welcome mocktail inspired by the aquarium’s large entrance tank.
