Hotel Gracery Shinjuku (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; General Manager: Shuji Wada) is bringing a taste of the new season to GRACERY LOUNGE, its 8th-floor lounge, with a lineup of autumn sweets and drinks running from Tuesday, September 1 through Monday, November 30, 2026.
Set beside the 8th-floor lobby of Hotel Gracery Shinjuku, a landmark of the Shinjuku area, the lounge is built around the concept of "spending elegant time at a hotel," with a calm, muted interior meant for unwinding at a relaxed pace.
This year's autumn fair centers on a new Acai and Sweet Potato Parfait, pairing rich, full-bodied acai with a dense sweet potato ice cream. It's finished with garnishes such as in-season Nagano Purple grapes, eaten skin and all, and apples steeped in syrup, for an indulgent taste of the season. From October 1 (Thu) through October 31 (Sat), the parfait is served in a cute Halloween-themed presentation.
Limited-time drinks built around seasonal flavors round out an afternoon at the lounge. The tea squash Noir Grape Tea Fizz pairs bergamot-scented Earl Grey with rich black grape juice and soda for a light, refreshing cup. There's also the Chestnut Hojicha Latte, layering the gentle sweetness of chestnut and honey over deeply roasted, carefully brewed hojicha, and Purple Harvest Matcha, a latte balancing the mellow bitterness of matcha with purple sweet potato.
Three cocktails are on offer to color the long autumn evenings. Higanbana (Red Spider Lily) takes its name and deep crimson hue from the flower it's styled after, letting the delicate floral aroma of elderflower meet gin's refreshing herbal and citrus notes. Yume Utsutsu (Between Dream and Reality), a pale purple cocktail dusted with shimmering pearl powder, carries a lingering, faintly sweet citrus finish. And Akikaze (Autumn Breeze) is a sweet, dessert-like cocktail balancing the sweetness of chestnut, the strength of rum, and a gentle cream flavor.
