The Nanki-Shirahama Marriott Hotel is offering an accommodation plan that includes evening high tea featuring ‘Marie Hime’, a strawberry variety original to Wakayama Prefecture, named ‘Heart Warming Strawberry Night Stay’ from December 1st, 2024, to February 28th, 2025.
The tea stand displays six types of savory items, including local ingredients like Kyu and Kishu duck, combined with winter root vegetables and chamomile. The main dish is a pot pie of Japanese beef and ‘Kishu no Kuni Mikandori’ (a type of citrus-flavored chicken) wrapped in puff pastry, served with a chutney that mixes ‘Marie Hime’ strawberries with various spices. For dessert, five types of sweets using ‘Marie Hime’, including a mini parfait, mille-feuille, and confiture, are prepared.
Exclusively for guests using the accommodation plan, a mocktail named ‘Strawberry Earl Grey’, featuring Earl Grey tea adorned with ‘Marie Hime’, is available. Guests can choose from five types of rooms including those with a private hot spring where they can enjoy Shirahama Onsen water, and rooms combining Japanese and Western styles.
