From Wednesday, November 18 to Saturday, December 26, 2026, ATELIER MATCHA Ginza, a premium matcha cafe in Ginza, Tokyo, serves a Christmas Afternoon Tea for a limited time. It is the cafe's original afternoon tea, returning for the first time in two years.
The set combines eight desserts and three savory items in Christmas colors with an original strawberry welcome drink, plus two drinks of your choice from the regular menu. Reservations open from Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
Christmas-Themed Afternoon Tea Returns
This year's theme is Christmas. The menu features eight desserts in the red and green of the season, along with three savory items to enjoy between the sweets. Strawberries and other winter ingredients are paired with the flavor of a matcha specialty shop.
Welcome Drink and Two Drinks of Your Choice
The tea begins with an original strawberry welcome drink to set the Christmas mood.
Strawberry Christmas Sparkling
Guests can then choose up to two drinks from the regular ATELIER MATCHA menu. The options include the MATCHA Latte made with premium Uji matcha from Yamamasa Koyamaen, so guests can pick drinks to match their mood or the sweets.

Reserved Seating at the Back of the Cafe
Afternoon tea guests are shown one group at a time to the reserved seats at the back of the cafe. Although the cafe is in the middle of Ginza, the seats offer a relaxed space away from the surrounding crowd. Seating is limited to 2 hours from the reservation time, and the afternoon tea can be booked for a single guest. It suits a treat for yourself as well as Christmas time with friends or family.
