The Ritz-Carlton Osaka has introduced a new British Afternoon Tea in collaboration with Asprey, the luxury brand favored by the British royal family. This special menu will be available at The Lobby Lounge starting August 19, 2026.
Set in the Georgian-style interior of the hotel, the afternoon tea offers an array of sweets and savory items inspired by British culture and Asprey’s refined aesthetic. The service runs until October 14, with warm scones served to your seat and an elegant atmosphere enhanced by live piano music.
About the British Afternoon Tea with Asprey
This collaboration celebrates the timeless elegance of British tradition and craftsmanship. The Ritz-Carlton Osaka, decorated in the Georgian style reminiscent of 18th to early 19th century British aristocratic homes, partners with Asprey, a luxury brand established in 1781 and known for its royal warrants and exquisite products. Asprey has maintained a boutique in the hotel lobby since 2011, deepening their partnership.
The afternoon tea features sweets created by Executive Pastry Chef Frédéric Moreau, including a special treat inspired by Asprey’s iconic 1781 Pebblegrain Leather Bucket Handbag: a creamy green tea panna cotta with roasted rice tea gianduja. Other highlights include a spiced pumpkin and cream cheese mousse with cacao nib sable and seasonal chestnut mont blanc. Savory dishes incorporate British culinary elements such as roast ham and cheddar cheese sandwiches with fruit chutney, marinated salmon with egg and cucumber salad with tarragon cream, and truffle-flavored meat pies.
Guests can enjoy unlimited servings of warm hotel-original scones, crafted by pastry sous-chef Elliott Stadden from Devon, England. Two varieties are offered: classic plain scones and maple pecan scones, served with goat milk mornay sauce, cheese cream, and clotted cream to complement the rich flavors.
