InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8 (2-14-1 Shinko, Naka-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa), a hotel located on the new port pier in Yokohama's Minato Mirai district, will offer "Larboard Afternoon Tea ～Spring～" at Restaurant & Bar "Larboard" starting March 3, 2026 (Tuesday).
The new afternoon tea theme beginning in March is "Spring."
The savories and sweets express the freshness of spring that arrives after the cold winter, and the light, uplifting feeling that comes with the season.
The first savory plate features five dishes made with ingredients at their peak in spring, such as new onions and sakura shrimp. The new onion soup, concentrated with umami without using any water, is accented with the aroma of truffle. The flan offers a luxuriously rich foie gras flavor within its fluffy, smooth texture—enjoy it with the generous dollop of fresh cream on top.
The sakura shrimp tart lets you savor the sweetness, umami, and fragrant, crispy texture of the seasonal shrimp, while its vibrant color makes it visually spring-like as well.
The sweets include a sweet-and-sour strawberry crumble tart, a strawberry and pistachio shortcake, and a two-layered panna cotta that changes ingredients with the season—featuring sakura during cherry blossom season and strawberry afterward—all offering spring-like colors and flavors. The jelly bursting with the umami of plum and refreshing fruits like kiwi and orange offers a sophisticated, adult taste.
After enjoying the savories and sweets, an "INTERLUDE" (intermission) presents "Bratkartoffeln," a German home-style dish. Bratkartoffeln means "fried potatoes" in German—potatoes crispy on the outside and fluffy inside are combined with bacon made from Yamato pork and onions, creating a simple yet richly flavorful dish.
The afternoon tea concludes with the "Chef's Special": a matcha mont blanc.
Atop a fragrant cookie base layered with sweet potato brûlée and chantilly cream, beautiful deep-green matcha cream—made from a base of chestnut paste and white bean paste—is piped on. Enjoy this special creation where chestnuts, chantilly, brûlée, and other elements harmonize in elegant flavor, with the umami and subtle bitterness of matcha lingering beneath.
As the warm season arrives, enjoy the "Larboard Afternoon Tea ～Spring～" that expresses the joy of welcoming spring while gazing at the sea and cityscape bathed in gentle, radiant light.
