The St. Regis Osaka will host the ‘Matcha Afternoon Tea’ from May 1 to June 30.
The welcome drink offered is the ‘Wakei Kyouraku’, an arrangement of matcha with yuzu, black honey, and ginger ale. The matcha sweets combined with fruits include five types: the ‘Matcha Terrine’ made with Uji matcha, the ‘Matcha and Orange Layer Cake’ which uses orange in the cream and decoration, the ‘Matcha Strawberry Tart’ featuring a tart filled with strawberry compote and matcha crème d’amande, topped with a whole fresh strawberry, the three-layered ‘Matcha Panna Cotta’ with matcha mousse and vanilla panna cotta layered with deep green matcha sauce, and the ‘Matcha Mango Mousse’ which wraps mango mousse in matcha mousse.
The savory items, inspired by fresh greenery, include four types: the ‘Smoked Salmon Trout and Asparagus Sandwich with Consommé Jelly’, ‘Mini Beef Wellington with White Sesame’ which is beef wrapped in puff pastry, ‘Chicken Ball Pistachio’, and the ‘Green Tomato Tart with Ricotta Cheese’ filled with ricotta cheese and lemon. Scones are served as plain scones and matcha scones with clotted cream and orange marmalade.
The location is the 12th floor ‘St. Regis Bar’. It is served in six shifts from noon to 3:30 p.m., with a 2-hour duration. The price is 7,800 yen, or 9,800 yen with a glass of champagne. Taxes and service charges included.
