Hilton Kyoto is offering a “Spring Afternoon Tea” from April 7 to June 19.
The menu consists of 9 kinds of fruit-based sweets and 4 kinds of savory items. The sweets lineup includes the cherry blossom-scented “Amarena Cherry Pound Cake with Sakura Cream,” “Melon and White Chocolate Tart,” which combines the juiciness of melon with white chocolate, honey and apricot mousse, mixed berry charlotte, and carpaccio of domestically produced Japanese mango. The savory selection combines an open sandwich with green peas and ricotta cheese, a Japanese wagyu pastrami mini burger, a sakura-smoked chicken mini tart, and a mini cone filled with smoked trout rillettes.
Drinks are served free-flow and include various coffees made with Hilton Kyoto’s original blend from Ogawa Coffee in Kyoto, sencha and hojicha from Yamashiro Yamamasa Koyamaen in Uji, Kyoto, as well as Japanese black tea and blended teas from Art of Tea.
