The Kitano Hotel Tokyo will offer the “Early Green Afternoon Tea” from April 13 to May 31.
Using “Samidori” matcha from Yamasho Koyamaen in Uji, Kyoto, the hotel will serve 7 Japanese-Western fusion sweets and 5 savory items. The sweets selection includes strawberry daifuku (rice cake), matcha roll cake, matcha lamington, matcha bonbon chocolat, matcha macaron, matcha and plum liqueur jelly, and a matcha fondant au chocolat cream puff made with rice flour. The savory items include two kinds of finger foods, the soup of the day, rice flour pancakes, and a buckwheat galette with sakura shrimp and tuna. Scones will be served in two flavors—matcha and azuki roasted soybean flour—accompanied by jam and clotted cream. Drinks such as coffee, tea, and original flavored tea will be available as free-flow, while sparkling wine and matcha can be enjoyed at an additional charge.
The venue is the 2nd-floor all-day dining “Tea Lounge Kafu.” Service hours are from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The price is 7,500 yen, tax included, service charge not included.
