The "SAKURA and Strawberry Afternoon Tea" combines the juicy freshness of seasonal strawberries with the subtle fragrance of cherry blossoms, offering a lineup designed to capture the light and breezy essence of spring. The menu includes eight types of sweets, such as the classic "Traditional Strawberry Shortcake" and the spring-inspired "Sakura and Amazake Panna Cotta," which unfolds the airy aroma of cherry blossoms. The savory selection features four items, including a "Sakura Burger" infused with cherry blossom fragrance and a colorful "Duck and Seasonal Salad with Sakura Aroma." The carefully balanced combination of sweet and savory flavors ensures a delightful experience from start to finish.
Pricing is ¥3,900 per person (including coffee or tea), available exclusively from Tuesday to Friday.

For those seeking a more luxurious experience, a plan with a glass of Moët & Chandon champagne is available for ¥6,000 per person.
The "Traditional Strawberry Shortcake" features generous portions of juicy strawberries sweetened gently with cane sugar. This classic shortcake offers a light texture that appeals to all palates, with a clean aftertaste that perfectly complements the afternoon tea experience.
The "Sakura and Amazake Panna Cotta" layers smooth amazake-based panna cotta with cherry blossom-scented jelly. The delicate sweetness that spreads with each bite harmonizes beautifully with the gently drifting cherry blossom aroma, creating a refined expression of spring's arrival.
