The all-day dining restaurant "Terrace and Table" at Hotel Metropolitan Kawasaki is introducing a limited-time autumn afternoon tea, "Gratitude for Autumn's Bounty and Rich Blessings – Harvest Festival" (秋の実りと豊かな恵みへの感謝 ～収穫祭～), available on weekdays from September 1 (Tuesday) through November 30 (Monday), 2026.
Themed around a harvest festival, the menu makes generous use of fruits nurtured by the earth and seasonal ingredients, offering a special course to fully savor the charms of autumn.
The occasion begins with a fragrant hojicha tea latte. In the prelude dish that follows, a seasonal apple is flambéed in front of guests, its sweet, spreading aroma building a sense of occasion. The tea stand features a colorful array of sweets incorporating autumn fruits such as chestnut and pear, while the savory course offers deep, French-inspired flavors woven with Japanese black beef and croque monsieur. As an option, a mini parfait featuring shine muscat grapes, glittering like jewels, is also available.
