Airplane-Shaped Choux Gets a New Limited Flavor at Haneda Excel Hotel Tokyu's Airport Afternoon Tea

From April 1 to June 30, 2026, Cafe & Dining "Flyer's Table" at Haneda Excel Hotel Tokyu will be serving the FLYER'S Afternoon Tea — a seasonal set that combines all-sweet three-tiered stands with a savory plate inspired by the flavors of spring into early summer.

A standout feature of this afternoon tea is that all three tiers of the stand are filled entirely with sweets, allowing guests to enjoy all seven items at once. A separate hotel-original plate — printed with a runway motif — arrives alongside the stand, carrying six savory items that blend warm and cold preparations, making the experience suitable as a quality brunch as well as a traditional afternoon tea.

The Signature Airplane Choux in a New Flavor

The top tier features the hotel's popular airplane-shaped choux cream puff in an exclusive limited flavor for this event: Noisette Citron Mini Airplane Choux. The pastry is filled with hazelnut praline custard and lemon cream, then finished with caramelized hazelnuts — combining the rich nuttiness of hazelnut with the fresh acidity and fragrance of lemon for a well-balanced interplay of sweetness and tartness.

Middle Tier: Five Seasonal Sweets

The middle tier presents five sweets evocative of early summer:

• Strawberry Macaron
• Grapefruit Tart — the bright acidity of fresh grapefruit captures an early-summer feel
• Cherry Guimauve and Airplane Sablé
• Cake Piña Colada — pineapple sautéed and folded into a baked pound cake with coconut
• Apricot and Mint Verrines

Lower Tier: Classic Scones

The lower tier holds two varieties of scones — plain and tea and griotte cherry — served with clotted cream and a seasonal confiture.

Savory Plate

The runway-printed separate plate carries six savory items highlighting spring ingredients:

• Spring Cabbage and Shirasu Capellini Salad
• Kakuni Bun (braised pork belly steamed bun)
• Kelp-Cured Sea Bream with Orange Sauce — sea bream carefully cured with kombu and brightened with citrus acidity
• Firefly Squid Fritto with Basil Tartar Sauce
• New Onion Potage — showcasing the natural sweetness of spring's new onions
• Bamboo Shoot and Prosciutto Marinade

Beverages

A complimentary glass of non-alcoholic sparkling wine is included for a toast. Guests can also choose from three varieties of TWG Tea — a premium brand offering over 1,000 blends sourced from around the world — as well as a drink bar with coffee (hot/iced), cappuccino, café latte, cola, ginger ale, orange juice, apple juice, oolong tea, and iced tea.
