About the Shine Muscat Afternoon Tea at Sheraton Kagoshima
The Shine Muscat Afternoon Tea is served at VIVARIUM, a bar inspired by botanical gardens, located on the 19th floor of Sheraton Kagoshima. This seasonal offering showcases the juicy, crisp Shine Muscat grape, known for its elegant aroma and refreshing taste. The tea set includes a variety of sweets, such as Shine Muscat and non-alcoholic white wine jelly, fruit sandwiches, roll cakes infused with Kagoshima green tea, and mousse with pistachio. Savory items crafted by a chef who won Japan’s top prize in a French cuisine competition complement the sweets, including muscat caprese, prosciutto bruschetta, and local seafood marinated with muscat jelly.
Guests can also enjoy freshly baked scones—plain and green tea with muscat raisins—served with Shine Muscat jam and clotted cream. The drink selection includes a free-flow of carefully curated teas like Earl Grey, Darjeeling, French Muscat, and original Sheraton blends, alongside coffee and specialty drinks. Each seating lasts 120 minutes, with times starting at 2:00 pm and 3:00 pm.
