Armani/Ristorante in Ginza Unveils Autumn Afternoon Tea and Aperitivo Box

Armani/Ristorante's Lounge Bar on the 11th floor is refreshing its popular afternoon tea and aperitivo box with an autumn lineup starting Wednesday, September 16. Chestnut, grape, apple, fig, sweet potato, and mushroom bring the season's flavors to both the sweets and the savories, letting guests enjoy a variety of tastes, aromas, and textures drawn from ingredients at their peak.

A Seasonal Afternoon Tea Celebrating Autumn's Harvest

The sweets lineup features five items built around fruits and ingredients that come into season in autumn, including chestnut, grape, apple, and fig: a Mont Blanc showcasing the rich flavor of chestnut, a Bianco Mangiare paired with juicy grapes, a cake layering apple, caramel, and spice, and a fig and walnut scone, each expressing the season's flavors in its own way.

Mont Blanc dessert with chestnut and orange confiture

Mont Blanc: A rich chestnut paste hides a bright orange confiture inside. The chestnut's deep flavor is lifted by a light, tangy accent of orange.

Apple dessert with caramel mousse and spiced sable

Apple: A spice-scented sable is layered with caramel mousse, caramelized apple, and jelly. The contrasting textures and aromas bring out the apple's rich character.

The savories bring five dishes built around ingredients in season now, including sweet potato, pumpkin, mushroom, and eggplant. Woven through with touches of Italian cuisine, each dish highlights the flavor of its own ingredients: churros that make the most of sweet potato's natural sweetness, fried bread built around the umami of mushrooms, a smooth pumpkin soup, a croquette paired with chorizo, and a sandwich of eggplant, tomato, and cheese — a varied set of autumn flavors to enjoy one piece at a time.

Sweet potato churros with pistachio and cornichon

Sweet Potato Churros: Churros built around the full sweetness of sweet potato, paired with the richness of pistachio and the tang of cornichon, layered with sweetness, acidity, and nutty aroma.

Pumpkin soup with sage, breadcrumbs, and pumpkin seeds

Pumpkin Soup: The gentle sweetness of pumpkin is layered with the aroma of sage, finished with crunchy breadcrumbs and pumpkin seeds for a smooth texture with a toasty accent.
