Hotel New Otani Makuhari is serving the "Afternoon Tea Set: Chestnut, Chocolate, and Black Tea" at its Penthouse Lounge "Bay Court Cafe," located on the hotel's top floor, from November 1, 2026 (Sunday) to December 7, 2026 (Monday).
This new afternoon tea brings together the autumn flavor of chestnut, the richness of chocolate, and fragrant black tea, offering a way to enjoy the deepening season.
The luxurious three-tier set balances the hotel's much-admired "Super Series," sweets that capture seasonal ingredients and aromas, and authentic hotel-style savory items showcasing the chef's attention to detail. Guests can enjoy blissful tea time together with a sweeping view of Tokyo Bay from about 100 meters above ground.
A Luxurious Autumn Afternoon Tea Where Chestnut, Chocolate, and Black Tea Come Together
Compare the "Super Series" with a Seasonal Marron Shortcake in a Supreme Sweets Collection
Tea stand, top tier
The top tier of the tea stand invites guests to compare two shortcakes. One is New Otani's signature "Super Melon Shortcake," made only with Shizuoka-grown musk melons with a sugar content of 14 degrees or higher. The other is the buffet-exclusive "Marron Shortcake."
The tier also holds sweets packed with autumn indulgence, such as the gently sweet "Marron Tart" and the rich, full-bodied "Gateau Chocolat."
Tea stand, middle tier
The middle tier features a captivating lineup that highlights the rich aroma of black tea, the set's theme, along with the flavor of chocolate. Items include the "Earl Grey Panna Cotta" with its gently drifting fragrance, the "Black Tea Cream and Tiramisu Muffin," the "Black Tea Scone (with Clotted Cream)" with its toasty flavor, and the "Pudding with Caramel Sauce." The flavors change and deepen with each bite.
Autumn Treats Showcasing the Hotel's Skills, Including Lasagna and a Teriyaki Burger
Tea stand, bottom tier
The bottom tier holds chef-prepared savory items to satisfy the autumn appetite. They include the "Black Wagyu Teriyaki Smash Burger," which spreads juicy flavor, the mini-sized "Three-Mushroom and Bolognese Lasagna in Cocotte," and the "Mini Cheese Beignet-Style" accented with strawberry confiture. The luxurious items strike a fine balance between savory and sweet.
Tender Steamed Chicken and Sweet Cabbage Honey Mustard Salad / Creamy Purple Sweet Potato Potage
French Fries (Porcini Cream)
The menu goes beyond the tea stand with a full autumn lineup. Appetizers include the "Creamy Purple Sweet Potato Potage," with its deep autumn color and gentle sweetness, and the refreshing "Tender Steamed Chicken and Sweet Cabbage Honey Mustard Salad." The "French Fries (Porcini Cream)" offer a rich aroma that whets the appetite, and the "Mini Marron Parfait" rounds out the meal, keeping the indulgent time going until the very last bite.

Relax with a Wide Variety of Teas to Suit Your Mood
Carefully selected teas that pair well with the sweets are also available. Along with India's three great teas — Darjeeling, Assam, and Nilgiri — the lineup includes "Fruit Garden," a blend with various fruits, and seasonal green rooibos flavored tea, for 10 or more varieties in all. A varied selection of drinks, including soft drinks, is also offered.
An Elegant Autumn Afternoon with Views from the Hotel's Top Floor
Bay Court Cafe is a Penthouse Lounge on the hotel's top floor, about 100 meters above ground, with a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay. Watching the scenery shift from midday to evening is one of its charms. On clear days, Mount Fuji, a symbol of Japan, may even come into view. In an open, airy space overlooking a landscape sparkling in the pleasant autumn sunlight, guests can savor the rich sweetness and refreshing aftertaste of every bite.
An afternoon tea built around autumn flavors makes a fitting way to immerse yourself in the colors of the season.
