FOREST KITCHEN with Outdoor Living, the restaurant inside Hotel Metropolitan Sendai East — directly connected to JR Sendai Station — is serving a limited-time autumn afternoon tea. This year's menu highlights the seasonal pairing of chestnut and pumpkin, accented with fragrant caramel, for a relaxing tea time as the autumn breeze turns cool and pleasant.
Autumn-Limited Afternoon Tea: Chestnut, Pumpkin, and Caramel
Set in the spacious hotel dining space directly connected to Sendai Station, the afternoon tea comes with free-flow drinks, including a premium German tea served at a 7-star hotel in Dubai.
The sweets lineup includes eight items such as pumpkin cream tart and Mont Blanc cream puff, while the savories feature four dishes made with seasonal ingredients, including chestnut caramel and potato tart, and maple-scented bacon with grilled sweet potato.
Smoked Duck and Pumpkin Grigliata
Smoky, aromatic duck is paired with pumpkin grilled to bring out its natural sweetness, creating a savory dish full of autumn flavor.
Chestnut and Hojicha Parfait
A Japanese-inspired parfait layering the richness of chestnut with the toasty aroma of hojicha tea. Not too sweet, with a light, refreshing finish.
Caramel Opera
Three layers of coffee, caramel, and chocolate come together in this indulgent dessert — a classic opera cake given a seasonal twist.
