Hilton Tokyo in Japan will host a fall sweets buffet themed “School of Witches and Wizards” from September 9 to November 13.
The dessert lineup features 15 items, including a caramel chocolate tart, “Wizard’s Marron Gathering”; “Secret Message Sealed with Citrus,” dressed with lemon zest, yuzu and other citrus syrups; “Seal of the Honors Witch,” hiding red-wine-poached figs; and “Magical Dorm Treat,” a yogurt mousse concealing caramelized apples and macadamia nuts. Three special sweets are finished right before your eyes: “Abracadabra Marshmallow,” which casts a spell over a chocolate walnut brownie and cinnamon-flavored marshmallow; “Mystery of the Smoky Rose,” served with smoke; and “Purple Sorcery Mont Blanc.” At the Witch’s Chocolate Workshop, 15 kinds of custom chocolates combine various flavored chocolates with nuts, orange confit, dried fruits and candies. The buffet also includes eight savory selections such as appetizers and a daily soup, plus 19 beverages, including 10 varieties from Germany’s Ronnefeldt tea selection. The venue is staged like a wizarding school, featuring settings such as a wizard’s library stacked with magical books and a magical laboratory for studying alchemy.
The venue is the first-floor Marble Lounge. Service is offered in two seatings from 2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Prices are 5,700 yen; 6,200 yen on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Tax and service charge included.
