THE LOBBY LOUNGE on the 29th floor of THE OSAKA STATION HOTEL, Autograph Collection in Osaka's Kita Ward will offer the "Afternoon Tea 'VOYAGE' La saison des mangues" from June 1 to July 5, 2026.
THE LOBBY LOUNGE's afternoon tea series, "Afternoon Tea 'VOYAGE'," is dedicated to premium Japanese fruits enjoyed at their seasonal peak. The name reflects the concept of taking guests on a journey through the unique character of each fruit.
For this summer edition, Miyazaki Prefecture mangoes take center stage. Grown under abundant subtropical sunlight, these mangoes are prized for their silky texture, deep and concentrated sweetness, and floral honey-like aroma. Executive Pastry Chef Osamu Yoshida and his pastry team have shaped these qualities into a multi-faceted menu that highlights the fruit's character through varied techniques and presentations.
A Tropical Welcome Drink to Start
The afternoon tea opens with the original mocktail "Chaleureuse fruit," blending the mellow richness of mango and passion fruit with a refreshing touch of lemon. Finished with a renfare garnish, this tropical drink sets the mood for the tea experience ahead.
A World of Mango Sweets
The sweet lineup includes a cream puff filled with mango cream and custard topped with fresh mango slices, a mango tart accented with bright lime, and a rounded mango mousse. Each piece brings a different texture, shape, and flavor profile while celebrating the mango's rich sweetness.
A Herb-Scented Tropical Parfait
The "Miyazaki Mango Parfait" layers sun-ripened mango, fresh fruit, and a cool hint of herbs. Coconut ice cream adds a creamy counterpoint to the mango's intensity, while passion fruit sauce and jelly bring a bright, tangy contrast.
Light Savories for Balance
To complement the sweets, savory items include smoked salmon and onion pani puri with cream cheese tartness, a sea bream and tomato taboulé with citrus notes, prosciutto and almonds with a gentle salty finish, and a carrot soup topped with cardamom-scented milk foam. A rillette sandwich made with Kagoshima Prefecture black pork rounds out the selection, adding savory depth and variety throughout the experience.
Tea Pairings by DAMMANN FRÈRES
Drinks are served free flow from a selection of 15 teas by DAMMANN FRÈRES, the prestigious French tea brand founded in 1692. For this mango afternoon tea, jasmine tea is particularly recommended — its exotic sweetness and clean, refreshing finish pair well with the richness of the mango sweets.
