Grand Hyatt Tokyo will host a “Strawberry & Cat Afternoon Tea,” featuring strawberries as the star ingredient in both sweets and savory items, accented with playful cat motifs throughout, from February 1 to March 31.
The six kinds of sweets include a chocolate cake made by layering chocolate sponge and chocolate cut into the shape of a cat, macarons filled with strawberry ganache and decorated by hand with cat faces, and a “White Chocolate Mousse” topped with expressive cats made of bitter chocolate, among others. The six savory items feature a sandwich made with strawberry-colored bread branded with a cat paw print, a toasted tartine layered with watermelon radish, beetroot, and goat cheese in a mille-feuille style, and an almond milk dessert soup combining strawberries, honey, and mint. Two types of scones are offered—strawberry chocolate and plain—served with clotted cream and strawberry jam. Beverages such as tea, café latte, and cappuccino are available with free refills.
The venue is the all-day dining restaurant “The French Kitchen” on the 2nd floor of Grand Hyatt Tokyo. On weekdays, the afternoon tea is offered for two hours between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.; on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, the time limit is 90 minutes. The price is JPY 7,150, or JPY 8,800 with a glass of champagne. Prices include tax; a service charge is additional.
