Nanki Shirahama Marriott Hotel (Shirahama-cho, Nishimuro-gun, Wakayama Prefecture; General Manager: Shoichi Sasakawa) is introducing "Harvest Voyage Afternoon Tea — A Taste of Autumn Woven by Hokkaido and Wakayama," a seasonal afternoon tea inspired by a culinary journey through Hokkaido, available from September 1 (Tuesday) through November 30 (Monday), 2026, at the hotel's first-floor lounge.
Hokkaido and Wakayama share a long-standing culinary connection built on the bounty of the sea and a shared dashi (broth) culture, and this afternoon tea brings the autumn harvest of both regions together in a single experience. The sweets lineup features seven creations that capture the appeal of Hokkaido's northern landscape, including a Mont Blanc where the fresh aroma of Arita mikan meets the rich depth of Hokkaido-produced fromage, a Hokkaido sweet potato tartlet with a gentle sweetness, a smooth crème potiron infused with pumpkin flavor, and a panna cotta and bonbon chocolat that draw out the refreshing tartness of haskap, a fruit representative of Hokkaido. The savory selection offers four items showcasing a variety of Hokkaido ingredients, including a red salmon and spinach quiche and a pumpkin dumpling finished with the fragrant aroma of Yuasa soy sauce.
Guests can savor an elegant tea time amid Shirahama's gentle autumn scenery, while letting their thoughts wander to Hokkaido's vast, rich natural landscape.
