The Westin Tokyo will offer its “Dim Sum Afternoon Tea — Autumn Harvest & Hong Kong Delights” from September 1 through November 30.
The sweets selection includes 10 items featuring chestnuts, sweet potatoes, Shine Muscat grapes, and pears, such as a trifle topped with Shine Muscat grapes, pear brûlée, Hong Kong’s signature egg waffles served with Mont Blanc cream and candied chestnuts, snow skin mooncakes filled with purple sweet potato and cream cheese-flavored bean paste, Macau egg tarts, and animal-shaped buns filled with lotus seed paste. The savory menu features seven items, including sweet potatoes marinated in osmanthus-flavored Shaoxing wine, drool chicken with autumn eggplant, black vinegar, and the restaurant’s original chili oil, and Chinese-style burgers with crispy pork. Three types of dim sum created by the hotel’s dim sum chefs—matsutake mushroom xiaolongbao, assorted fried tofu skin with ginkgo nut sauce, and Hong Kong-style steamed shrimp dumplings with egg—will be brought to guests’ tables by trolley.
In addition to an original herbal tea blended with lemongrass and rosemary, nine beverages—including Chinese teas such as Golden Bud black tea and White Dragon Pearls, as well as two varieties of TWG Tea—will be served free-flow. A small bowl of tantan noodles with walnuts (800 yen) and fried rice with char siu pork (600 yen) are available as optional extras.
The venue is Ryutenmon, the Cantonese restaurant on the second floor. Service begins at 2:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. on weekdays, and at 1:45 p.m. on weekends and public holidays, with each seating lasting two hours. Limited to 20 servings per day. The price is 8,200 yen, including tax and service charge.
