A limited-time Valentine's and White Day afternoon tea is now available at Alice in the Country of Picture Books in Shinjuku. From February 14th to April 30th, the fantasy restaurant offers the "Queen of Hearts Love Letter Afternoon Tea - Strawberry Party -" featuring pink strawberry-themed sweets and savory dishes.
A Story of Love in Pink
During the season for expressing feelings, from Valentine's to White Day, this afternoon tea presents a storybook experience of strawberries and pink romance.
The story begins with the always-angry Queen of Hearts. At a tea party in the picture book world, the mischievous Cheshire Cat secretly adds a magic strawberry-flavored love letter.
When the Queen opens it, a sweet and sour aroma spreads. As she reads each word, her tightly closed heart gradually softens. Her firmly pressed lips relax, and her cheeks turn a gentle pink.
This newfound love transforms into sweets that fill the tea party table, warming the hearts and satisfying the appetites of all the Wonderland residents.

Welcome to Alice in the Country of Picture Books
This fantasy restaurant is inspired by the world of the British literary classic "Alice in Wonderland." At the entrance, a large picture book door guarded by card soldiers awaits.
The moment you turn that cover, reality fades away, and you're drawn into Alice's extraordinary story.
First appears the "Mirror Forest of Encounters," a space surrounded on all sides by glass. Just as Alice enjoyed once-in-a-lifetime meetings with Wonderland's residents, here conversations naturally flow and hearts open.
Beyond that lies the "Gondola Frames," semi-private seating wrapped in picture frames. In this space gently illuminated by chandeliers, secret tea parties can unfold undisturbed.
The main floor spreads into the world of the "Eternal Chess Game," imagining the Queen of Hearts' garden. Green topiary gardens, a romantic gazebo standing as if watching over the story, and at the center, a long table from the "Never-Ending Tea Party" awaits your seat.
Now, step away from everyday life and continue Alice's story as your own adventure.
