DoubleTree by Hilton Tokyo Ariake (located in Koto-ku, Tokyo; General Manager: Hiroaki Shimasou) will offer a limited-time "Cherry Blossom x Strawberry Afternoon Tea" from Sunday, March 1 to Sunday, May 10, 2026.
This year marks the hotel's first attempt at offering both dine-in afternoon tea and takeout options. Guests can enjoy hotel-quality sweets and savory items not only at the hotel but also during spring picnics, park tea times, and other seasonal outdoor activities.
Themed around cherry blossoms and strawberries that symbolize Japanese spring, the menu features gorgeous and delicate sweets with soft pink and white tones, along with savory items accented with cherry blossom fragrance and salt. In the spacious venue with natural light, the tea stand evokes the image of dancing cherry blossom petals, allowing guests to experience the arrival of spring through both visual and taste sensations.
The gentle fragrance of cherry blossoms, sweetness of strawberries, and subtle saltiness create a delicate harmony with each bite, providing a heartwarming spring tea time. This is a special afternoon tea available only this season, where guests can enjoy the cherry blossom viewing atmosphere indoors.
For drinks, the menu uses tea leaves from Ronnefeldt, a long-established German tea brand. From popular options like Assam Bari and Earl Grey to flavored teas with floral and fruit notes and caffeine-free teas, the extensive lineup pairs beautifully with the sweets for an enriched flavor experience.
Cherry Blossom x Strawberry Afternoon Tea Menu Highlights
